Kings Island

With Mike's summer days quickly coming to an end, we were pressed to fit in one last trip to Kings Island. We bought a two-day pass back in June (I forgot my camera that day - bad Kel!) and despite the rainy forecast, we planned on Tuesday being our summer finale.

It couldn't have been better! No rain and no crowds at all. We waited no more than one cycle for any ride. I walked right on to the Beast - zero wait. Anyone that's been to Kings Island knows that just absurd (and incredibly lucky). Let me tell you, no waiting meant for some really, really happy kids. Most rides, they didn't even have to exit and could stay on for as many turns as they wanted!

Happy us! Taylor won her own Scooby in a basketball shooting game. The girl can hoop already.


They both love Scooby.


This picture makes me laugh!

Love this one, too. :)

Taylor gets braver and braver and even rode a "Level 4" roller coaster. The rides are ranked from 1-5, with 5 being the scariest. She liked it! Most of the stuff she rides are the things I started to try when I was like 12, ha, ha. Michael was about a half inch too short to ride most of the "big kid" stuff and broke everyone's heart within a five-mile radius when he cried "Wiiiing", "Wiiiing" as I pulled him away from the Backyardigan swings after failing the height test. :( He loves the "Swiper's Sweepers" cars, though, and quickly recovered.

Taylor enjoying the swings, while the Pear hyperventilated over the rejection out of frame.

Having a blast on Swiper's Sweepers.



The boys. Michael is going to be crushed when Mike goes back to work. He follows him around everywhere.



SuperDad. I took a similar picture at Kings Island last August.


Have a great Friday!
Until next time,
Mommy Kel
