So I'm a little behind on my posts but I have them all jotted down on post-its ready to upload - who doesn't love post-its?!?! "I invented post-its!!!" (name that movie...)
Ok anyway, so we had a trip to 6 Flags last Saturday and whatever it was to motivate me to cash in my coins I am thankful for!!! Why is everything so expensive there!!! So here are a few tips I want to share that made our trip less expensive and will make our next trip less expensive (live and learn right...)
1. Pack some snacks people.
Now I don't mean wheel in an ice chest with a full on picnic, because they do say you cannot bring outside food and drink. BUT, if you have kids it's worth it. And like I said we had snacks in our diaper bag and a small lunchbox with milk/ bottle inside to stay cool and no one said a word!!! Some snacks I would recommend; nothing that can melt!!! We brought crackers with cheese in the middle (ie; Ritz, Late July, etc), squeezable applesauces - you know the ones they look like baby food pouches, pretzel sticks, trail mix. That's all we brought, nothing fancy, but enough to snack between lunch and keep our blood sugar up.
What I will do next time is bring some snacks for my husband and I. I was so worried about the kids, I didn't bring anything for us! We starved!!
2. Bring Water.
One tiny bottle of Dasani water was $3.29 - enough said. And pack milk if you need it for babies/toddlers. We brought some for the baby, but my 3 year old wanted some and we had a VERY hard time finding it. Also it wasn't cheap - and he only drank half of it.
3. If you are going to eat a meal in the park - split it.
Ok so I was assuming it would be pricy for lunch. $15.00 for a corndog & fries I was not expecting. A lunch plate large enough for my husband to eat during superbowl - also not expecting. Split a lunch plate (yes they all come as meals there - no a la carte) for 2 kids, especially little ones! And honestly my husband and I could've split his BBQ plate as well....especially if we had brought some snacks for ourselves...sigh
4. Carpool
Parking is $20 a car - enough said
So those are my tips, hope you have fun if you make a trip out there!
