Nate, Emily, Carter, and Kennedy

A couple of weeks ago we took our yearly trip to Kings Island (amusement park) courtesy of P&G (Nate's work.)  This year was a lot of fun.  Nate and I pretty much each took a kid and ran around riding rides.  Carter could go on a lot of the bigger stuff this year and he had a blast.  Kennedy also loved all the rides.  Nate is a trooper and will go on pretty much any of the roller coasters.  I on the other hand refuse to go on anything that spins.  Luckily the little kid stuff is pretty spin free.

Nate did take each of the kids on a spinning ride called the Monster.  We couldn't believe that Kennedy was allowed to ride it, but she was.  Carter went first and had a blast, without spinning too much.  After shouting "my turn" over and over Nate took her too.  That ended up being a mistake.  They spun so much that it was actually difficult to watch with out feeling nauseous.  When they got off Nate said that was the worst spinning he had ever experienced and that Kennedy spent the whole time saying "no, no, no, no..." in tears.  I am just glad no one lost their dinner!

The weather was perfect and besides a little dizziness and lack of a firework show we had a wonderful time.
