We decided to change things up this year for Amara's birthday and try Kings Island, instead of the standard zoo trip--and boy are we glad we did!! We had a blast!
We got there not too long after it opened, and it was a great day. Warm, but not scorching, breezy (storms in the area but not on top of us) and since schools weren't all out yet, not packed at all.
The kids rode as much as we could get to. Swings, bumper cars, coasters, the log ride (twice) and kept going and going. We took a small break for some blue ice cream--a traditional thing there, but it was back to the rides for Amara. I think the only "slow" thing we did was the train--and Eric said we probably don't need to do it again, lol.
The roller coaster was the biggest hit by far though. If they rode it once they road it twenty times. Especially once it rained--we were convinced we were going to miss a little storm that popped up on the radar, but nope. We got caught--and we were at the coaster. The girls didn't mind, they just kept on riding. It was awesome.
After a few dozen coaster rides, we decided to just walk and splash in the rain and make fun out of it. We found every puddle on the way from the rides to our car. As a bonus, we walked past some stores and popped in to buy some awesome dresses for the girls as souvenirs. As Eric pointed out, I'm sure we made a few peoples' days-the girls running in splashing in the puddles was pretty darn cute ;)
By the time we got home, we were dry--and the girls couldn't wait to put their dresses on. They were PERFECT for them and I love them so much. We had just the best day ever and I'm so glad we tried it, I'm certain we will be back!
