King's Island Fall 2012

Papa Ron & Grandma Shannon came into town from California for 5 days this past week and we all had a wonderful time!  The kids have been counting down the days on the calendar since the 1st of October.  They were even more thrilled when they learned that Papa & Grandma were staying over night in the house, they helped put their room together and talked about the visit for weeks.  Sunday (after their long, long, long travel to Ohio) Papa & Grandma finally made it to our house and we immediately started the fun at King's Island!  Probably the best part of this trip to King's Island (aside from getting to enjoy it with the family) was that the kids finally reached 36" and got to ride the "big kid" roller coaster and other big kid rides!  All summer we were bummed, but eating our meat and vegetables paid off and they got "big and tall" enough to ride the rides!

The roller coaster!



Weeeeee!



The swings!



The log ride!  "Snoopy peed on us!"

The kite eating tree!




An advantage of going to King's Island with Papa Ron...he rides roller coasters.  So Grandma stayed with Daddy and the kiddos while Papa & I rode some of the bigger kid rides.  Which was a blast!!

At the end of the day we visited the Halloween themed area, although we got there a little too late and a lot was closing down, we still had a lot of fun.

We chatted with a pumpkin
