Our Summer at Kings Island

This was our first year with Kings Island season passes.  We got our money's worth, but we didn't go every week.  It is a little tricky with each of the kids wanting to ride different rides.  Dallin can only do the small rides while Trenton is happy doing roller coaster after roller coaster.  Owen and Ashleigh have become more brave as the summer has progressed.  They are now both riding small roller coasters, which makes things a little easier.  They all love the park.  Even Dallin cheers and squeals as we drive into the parking lot and he spots the tall roller coasters. 

Dallin's favorite thing to do in the park is hug all of the Snoopy characters who walk around. He has to hug each one he sees.

 The Scrambler - one of Owen's favorite rides

 The Great Pumpkin Coaster - this was Owen's first roller coaster and one of his favorite rides until he graduated up to a bigger roller coaster this week

 The Red Baron ride

 Nathan took off an afternoon from work to go with us to the park.  He took the middle two on this boat ride for the first time.  Ashleigh and Owen rode on it at least 4 times by themselves afterwards because the line was very short and they loved getting wet.

 Inside the Snoopy Helicopters.  This is one of the few rides Dallin can do.

 Dallin is sitting next to Owen in the green hat.  This is one of Dallin's favorite rides.

It's been a fun filled summer!  Can't wait until the next one!
