Wordless Wednesday: Kings Island

It’s been a while since I’ve participated in Wordless Wednesday so I thought it would be fun to share a few pictures of my kiddos from our latest trip to Kings Island in Mason, Ohio with all of y’all for WW!  If you aren’t familiar with KI click the link and check it out and if you’re in the Mason area this summer it’s definitely worth checking out!

Summer Must-Haves {Amusement Park Fun}

Remember my post before the holiday weekend telling you about an exciting new series we have going on this summer?  The Summer 2010 Must-Haves series is jammed packed with great family-friendly, fun, summer activities and lots of great product reviews, tips, and tricks to help each activity go off as smoothly as possible.  This week is all about Amusement Park Fun!
Last weekend our family spent some time at our local amusement park, Kings Island.  Summertime=KI in our neck of the woods; not only is it an economical and fun way for the kids to spend part of their summer vacation it’s also lots of fun for mom and dad too! 
One of the reasons I love visiting KI is because of its awesome water park (Boomerrang Bay!  )It was extremely hot last weekend here and waiting in the long lines at rides was not something I was looking forward to, so we had a plan.  Get there early, spend the morning riding a few ride, eat lunch, spend the hottest part of the afternoon at the water park, and then return to the amusement park after it cooled down some.  Our plan proved to be a huge success, the kids had an amazing time and mommy and daddy did as well!  Below are some of my favorite photos of our fun filled day at Kings Island {The Fun and Only}!

Lil Man and Savanna on one of the fabulous kiddie rides at Planet Snoopy!

This was totally NOT posed…I have no idea what my kids were doing lol.

Be sure to check back tomorrow (and the rest of the week) for more great Amusement Park Fun!

Fun filled Weekend...Kings Island

This weekend was a blast! On Saturday Jamie and I took 5 of our 6 children to Kings Island (our local amusement park) for his company picnic and we all had so much fun. Gaige loved it and for days before we went he kept saying that he was going to see SpongeBob and that was the first character he saw when we got inside the gates he was so happy (but also a little afraid). The big kids seemed to have more fun than they've had in ages and there was NO fighting I was in heaven. I thought I'd share some pictures of the fun we had...enjoy!

Lil Man running away from Sponge Bob!

He wasn't as scared with Daddy holding him!

Me and my man

Kaity, Savanna, and Pablo!

Having fun on Diego cars as Gaige calls them.

Loghen (our oldest) taking some of the little kids through SpongeBob's Water Works.

All of our babies! (Bub was a little upset though I'm not sure if it was because he was tired or because I was taking his picture while he was sitting in a pink stroller..lol)
