Visit from Cousins and Six Flags (on the hottest day ever...)

My cousin Selena and her two kids, Matthew & Makenna, decided that they needed a break from the cooler Montana temps and drove to STL to visit with us for two weeks in the HOT humid weather! I can't say enough how much we enjoyed visiting with them and catching up. The kids all played together great and Matthew & Makenna were great helpers! They are such good kids :-) One of these extremely hot days that we didn't spend in the pool was devoted to a trip to Six Flags amusement park. So, we piled into two cars and took the 15 minute trip west (it was me, Josh, Em, Steph, Kaya, Selena, Matt & Makenna). We had so much fun! Since it was pretty warm outside, there were not a lot of people at the park and there were virtually no lines for the rides! It was great. The kids rode all the big rides, and when we could all go together, Josh usually sat out and watched the stroller or we took turns. It worked out perfectly. After sweating everything out...we ventured over to the water park and let the kids run wild. Emaline and I even rode the Big Kahuna together! She loved it. Glad that we could show the older kiddos a good time and Josh even got to come with us :-) It was a great day. Here are some pics from the day!
