Today's post focuses on our visit to Six Flags New England. Our friends Wes and Kelly (along with their kids) were in Massachusetts, and we decided that would be as good a place as any to meet up. The day was overcast and looked like it could turn bad, but other than a very short period where they shut down some rides because of lightning warnings, the weather was fine. As a result, not many people were at the park so lines were short. Heck, for the kiddie rides, there were often no lines at all.
Lucas's reactions to rides were mixed. I don't think he went on any by himself, and I can probably count on one hand how many he went on with just Brody or Carson. He much preferred if Marilu or I went with him, and even then, he usually was nervous before the ride started. Nervousness that turned to squeals of laughter once it was actually in motion. Go figure.
The day started off on a sedate Thomas the Tank Engine train ride.
He wouldn't go on this bus ride without Marilu. That's Wes in the front seat, not some random person posing for our photographs.
Family photo with some dude from the Thomas cartoons. Well, I assume he is. Lucas hasn't shown any interest in the cartoon, and I don't encourage it since the kids that sing the theme song get on my nerves.
Despite the look of fear, Lucas seemed to like the Merry-Go-Round.
I took this photo from the back seat of an airplane ride we went on.
Feeding time!
As I said earlier, it took Lucas a while to warm up to getting on a ride without one of us. Here he is on a couple of rides with Brody. I think it's safe to say he is having fun. I'll be posting videos once I am done with all the Massachusetts photos since we got some pretty good ones at Six Flags.
This one with Brody is just plain cute. By the way, despite the size difference, they are only a month or so apart in age. Brody is huge for his age.
Since Six Flags has some kind of relationship with DC Comics, there are many photo opportunities with various superheroes and villains from the DC universe. As much as Lucas loves superheroes, I was a little surprised to discover he was terrified of them. The only good picture we got of him was in front of a picture of Bizarro.
He was equally scared of both heroes and villains.
You may have to click on these next 2 pictures to see his face. In the first one, he is calling for Marilu since he doesn't want to get on the teacup ride with me.
Once it started, though, he had an absolute blast. Just look at that face!
