Kings Island....Take 1

After getting a recommendation from several friends in the area, we decided to take advantage of living 10 minutes from a big amusement park, and get season passes. King's Island did not disappoint! In fact, if far exceeded my every expectation. We headed out Saturday afternoon, got our passes and spent about 4 hours out there having an absolute blast!!! For this first trip, we spent most of our time in Planet Snoopy, the children's section. There is something for kids of all ages and each girl loved it.

Here they are climbing on the Snoopy statue, before we hit the rides.

Winter, please go away....I am begging you, our clothes are not long enough anymore!!!
See her face? This picture was taken approximately 1/4 second before she said in a panicked voice, "I need to go pee-pee!!!" She is notorious for waiting till the VERY last second. Tommy had to bail her off the ride and over the gate to me, before it got started.

Here is Addison the Brave getting her first little taste of a roller coaster, while we were in the potty. This girl is so brave.....she is ready to hit the big coasters, but she is also good to hang in the smaller section with her sisters and had a blast there too!

Reagan came back and they did another round.

Gracyn kicked back in her stroller with some popcorn and watched for this ride. Tommy says she has "popcorn entitlement" and he is right. If she sees it or smells it, she must have it!!!

Then we found a little roller coaster that was just her speed. She LOVED it. It spun her fast around the corners and she laughed and squealed with delight! It was so cute!!!

Her sisters wanted to hop in with her for round 2. They were having such fun!

Reagan and Daddy riding high!

The girls got some snuggle time with Lucy!

And finally, on our way out, we ventured just a few steps into the big side and the girls rode the huge swinging boat with Tommy. As you can see, they loved it! Gracyn was MAD to be sitting this one out. She told me over and over again, "I already tall enough!". The only other big ride we got to that day was for Tommy and Addison. He took her over to a BIG roller coaster....the kind where you sit in a seat and your legs hang down. They waited in the line, got to the front and then Tommy got kicked off. The lady told him he was too tall! No one over 6'5. Well, Miss Addison wasn't going to let that stop her. My dare-devil, barely turned 6 year old rode the thing by herself!!!

This trip the girls also had a special treat. They took along their birthday money from Aunt Tressia and Uncle Bryan. They were able to play some games....Daddy helped each girl win a stuffed animal, and then they bought another stuffed animal souvenir on the way out. The park opens on the weekdays starting Friday and we have much more to explore....can't wait to start spending some summer days out there.
