*< Kings Island >*

 

 So we have been SO SO SO excited to go to Kings Island ... so WARNING tons of pictures so if you don't want to see lots of pictures of my super cute family STOP NOW!! 

When we woke up it was raining ... thank goodness for Ohio weather, in some ways it reminds me of Idaho, you might wake up to rain and 20 minutes later clear blue skies. Major difference its HOT in Ohio all summer long, so we were excited when it stopped and we were off!

We had no idea HOW MANY PEOPLE were going to be there! It was insane the traffic was stopped on the Highway for 2 miles just to get off the EXIT..

we got there ONE hour after it opened ... holy crap man!

 So these first 2 pictures are what Liam & I did why Kory and the girls WAITED in line for the biggest roller coaster in Snoopy's Island... it was a horrible way to start the day... so we would wonder around in the 95 degree weather with me holding a 35 lb toddler and backpack (with all our food, diaper, everything) on and man, oh man I was sweaty after 10 min of arrival. Liam liked Snoopy as much as he liked the birds @ the aquarium.

 He liked this girl even less, to funny I showed Kory this picture and he replied "Um yeah, I would be afraid too, look at her head its HUGE!" Look at poor Liam's face... it was HOT.

 Look close you can see Kory and the girls ... and this is after 1hour 15mins in line...

 So after I walked around and scared Liam enough, we parked it and Liam ate ALL the fruit snacks we had in the backpack.

 They made it! Kory said they could have got the front seat but wasn't sure the girls were ready for that!!

Kael had no idea what to expect, you couldn't see the ride until you were super close.

 THEY ARE OFF!

 Sorry its blurry, THEY LOVED IT!!

(worth the time in line?)

Kory said it was awesome for a kids ride but after just our FIRST RIDE we were sick of waiting and more people just kept flooding in!

So we determined what ride would be next by the length of the line! We also thought we should find something QUICK for Liam to do!

 He loves beep, beeps so we thought we had made his day...

 

 Um not so much... he screamed the ENTIRE ride... people around us were saying under their breath..

"oh, poor guy"

"why don't they get him off"

*awesome*

 My turn to ride with the girls.. the line looked short, and the ride looked simple..

WRONG AGAIN!

The line took forever and the kids didn't think the WAITING IN LINE thing was very fun. Good thing there were plenty of CRAZY people to stare at and make the time go by faster. Kory said he is bringing leashes next time so he can keep control of his 3 wandering eyed girls.

 The ride looked simple, it takes you to the top and drops you A LITTLE then up then back down nothing super dramatic..

 so glad you can't see my face.. the girls loved it.. but it had my tummy doing tricks

 I couldn't control my own head and was having a riot, and by the expressions on the girls faces they thought it was LAME!

 They rode a superman ride.. and loved it!

 But after this we were done waiting in line...

time for  SWIMMING!

Crazy though, we didn't see a fraction of the park not sure we will spend the money on something like that for awhile.

 Liam and I @ the Pirate Ship.. Swimming was nice cause there wasn't lines to be in the water... But to ride the water rides was a joke.

 Here we are cooling off!

JJ, going down a sweet slide!

 eating a few chips

 So cute!! they were just so happy to PLAY!!

 NO nap for him and he did great!!

and not sure his hair can get much LIGHTER!

 "The Fish" liked the water... But she would have loved to explore all the CRAZY rides with Daddy!

 Daddy and Liam

 One slide that didn't have a HUGE line!

 ~ US ~

 Liam loving it.

 Yeah a picture of the whole family!

 So the blue and orange ride behind Kory and the kids was a super wild ride that you slide down in cool tube, the line was so long we didn't even think about it :(

This poor guy was asleep with his eyes open and still trying to eat his crackers... he is REALLY asleep!!

YEAH FOR Kings Island..... but we wont be back for awhile.
