Discovery Kingdom

We went to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom (formerly Marine World) yesterday. This was the kids' first trip to an amusement park and we weren't sure how it would go. But after yesterday's experience, we are already talking about going back in a couple months. They had so much fun! We arrived at the park around 10:15am and didn't leave until about 5:30pm. Syd's only nap was the ten minute walk to the car and Sam slept for about one hour in the middle of the day. They were having so much fun with all the things to do that they never really got the chance to get cranky.

Sydney went on lots of rides, including her all time favorite merry go round. Sam went on some rides, too...he just had to be with one of us since he didn't meet the height requirements. The kids liked Butterfly Garden, but they weren't quite sure if they liked all those "bugs" flying around.Sam cannot sit still. In a 15 minute show, he might actually sit on the bleachers for five minutes. He crawled all over the place and usually ended up sitting where your feet are supposed to go. Note: this confirmed our suspicion that Sam is not ready to go to the movies yet!Sam took a nap during the Looney Tunes Show.Sam woke up and was ready for more rides!Sydney took Daddy and Sam for a safari ride.

The final show of our day was the Killer Whale. Sam liked the big "ish."
