That morning we hit the road and made the 4 hour drive into Atlanta. We of course, stopped at the first rest stop to let the kids eat some more breakfast and to use restrooms and play some Pokemon GO. We also had a little photo shoot before we left. The pictures are hella cute.
haha.. one of the many that were around that rest stop
We got back on the road after about a 30 minute stop, and beat the lunch traffic. We did get into some traffic at the Atlanta Airport exit, but that is to be expected. We ended up getting to Six Flags a little after 12 and we immediately started sweltering. It was hot. The rides were long, and we did a good bit of walking before riding our first ride. The ride was a Harley Quinn Spinner. Cayce rode that with Samantha and Ariana.
We didn't take that many pictures inside the park. After we left the Harley Quinn ride, we headed straight for the water park and that was a long walk. We kept stopping and reading the map. We eventually made it to the water park and found some empty seats. We immediately stripped the girls down to their bathing suits and headed to the water. I didn't wear my suit under my clothing, so I sat right down in the water in my shorts and shirt and it was heavenly. The area where we were playing at was called the Calypso Bay Wave Pool. It made some awesome and intense waves. Cayce then took Samantha on a big water slide.. that I am still surprised that she was able to get on. That water slide was called the Tsunami Surge. She enjoyed that while Addy, Airy and I stayed in the wave pool and beating the heat.
After we left the wave pool after they kicked everyone out for inspection, we went to go ride some more rides. Before we got to the water park, Cayce stopped at their newest roller coaster called the Blue Hawk. Well, when we left the water park soaking weat and still beating the heat, Cayce went and rode it. He came back super excited and took Samantha on it. The Blue Hawk is now Samantha's 1st ever Roller Coaster ride.

After the ride, we went and tried to get Cayce something to eat because he was starting to get sick and over heated. While he was doing that, the girls and I sat down and watched this little western shenanigans side show and it was hilarious. It brought some laughs and it was a great end to our day. We did have some trouble getting back to the car, because Cayce had to stop to get sick or my blisters were getting blisters, but we made it and got some cold water from our cooler and the girls got their sandwiches and chips for their meal on the way home.
We are definitely planning on going back next year. We are also going to go with one of my best friends who loves an hour away from Six Flags and would have gone with us if she knew we were coming. I was kicking myself in the butt for that. But we had a long drive back home. We spent a good 5 hours in the park and left at rush hour traffic. It wasn't that bad like everyone makes it out to be. It took us 5 hours to get home because we made multiple stops at gas stations for gas and restrooms.
The girls had fun. We all got burnt. We all got some good exercise.
