Week of Fun-Day 6: Six Flags Discovery Kingdom

I invited Holly to join us on this trip since Eric had to work. She's a huge help and she loves amusement parks!

Here's the group all pumped and ready for the day! Abby refused to be in the picture-little twerp!

The big kids wanted to go straight to the giant coasters of course. So we split up in 3 directions. Bethany took Abby for a walk, I took Brooke and Jack on the Cobra roller coaster, and Holly took Robbie and Ashley on Medusa. Jack and Brooke got to ride Cobra 3 times while the others waited to ride Medusa once! It was crazy busy that day!

Here they are waiting for the big kids to come down the exit. We got to watch them while they rode. These two can't wait to be tall enough to ride!
Then we went to the Sea Lion show. They chose a few participants and all the kids were begging to be picked.

Robbie got picked! He seems to always get chosen- the lucky duck! :)

We went on a few rides on our way to the different shows. We went to the tiger show but I didn't take any pictures. Just picture giant Bengal tigers diving in the water for chunks of meat! Pretty cool to watch!
Of course we had to catch the Killer Whale Show! My favorite :) Shouka is a household name at our place. We all love him!

After the show was over the trainers stayed behind to answer questions. We stayed the whole time just to be able to watch her a little longer.
One of the dolphins was performing with Shouka in the show. They were cute together. The trainers said they were friends and they looked like they were!
All the kids were asking great questions and so curious about this amazing creature! I told Holly I would be thrilled if any of them became marine biologists someday!
Hi Shouka!
Next we went to Jungleland where they have rides for smaller kids and a giant treehouse to play in. All the kids loved this tugboat ride, especially Abby and Bethany.
But the all-time favorite was the Frog Hopper!


I think they went on this a few times they all loved it so much!
We were all getting hungry so on our way to a late lunch we stopped by the Vet Clinic. I couldn't get a good picture but we got to see a bat up close and personal. He was hanging upside down in the window, eating and spreading his wings open. It was amazing to see his little bones poking thru his wings and his teeth and little face reminded us all of a chihuahua. The biggest highlight was when he pooped and pee'd at the same time right while we were watching! Ewwww!

We also walked thru the Shark Experience and pet some stingray's at Stingray Bay. After dinner Brooke and Ashley were begging to go on the Hammerhead Shark ride! Robbie went too!

Ashley ready but scared for her 2nd attempt!

This ride goes crazy fast!
They loved it!
We spent our last hour in Looney Tunes Seaport. We were racing the clock to go on as many rides as possible!




Our last group photo before we head out to get a late dinner and then home. Look at these happy faces! We had a great day with good weather, lots of thrills and amazing animals!
