A Visit and Kings Island


We had a visit from Aunt Beth last week while she was back in Fort Wayne visiting family! We had the best time talking and catching up AND the kids and I got to meet Baby David:)!! I have to say, my kids were really good with him and Avery was a little mom, helping feed him, giving him kisses and stroking his head when he cried! Thanks for taking the time to stop over and see us, Beth, we love those visits!!

Spencer, Baby David, and Avery

Kings Island
We headed down to Cincinnati on Friday to take the kids to Kings Island. We had a nice time hanging out with Grandpa Barry and Uncle Chad, Aunt Jamie and Cousin Garrett:)

Avery learned a new trick, courtesy of Garrett, at breakfast:)!

Garrett and Avery on the swings.

Bumper cars for kids! Avery drove in circles by herself, but she had a good time!

A ride Spencer was able to go on!! He took his skills from driving grocery carts and applied them to this ride and was a driving machine:)


Mommy had to accompany Avery on this one. It was a tiny version of the drop ride. Avery was one excited girl who is pretty fearless!

We went way up and then were gently dropped! Avery yelled "wee" the whole time that she had adults cracking up on the ground. I mean look at how tiny she is and she was the only kids screaming with delight-it was so cute!!

The whole family on a ride!

They had a mini roller coaster that Avery couldn't wait to get on! When we pulled into the parking lot, the first thing Avery said was she wanted to go on a roller coaster, so thank goodness they had one she could ride!

Artie, Avery and I went on the kiddie log ride with Uncle Chad and Garrett. The 5 of us had a blast on it-and we all got soaked!

This was one of the kids' favorite rides:) I thought Spencer was going to get whip lash because it went really fast around the corners, but he seemed to really enjoy it!

Avery and Spencer love being together and now that Spencer is getting bigger and walking, Avery is really enjoying having a little buddy to hang out with-I love it:)!!

Have a great week everyone!

Kings Island looks like a blast! I was pretty little last time I went so I don't really remember it. It seems Avery belongs there. =) Love that mini drop ride, that would be for me!!

I am so happy that you guys were able to meet little David - but he is so big now! I'm glad I got to see an updated photo of him : > And it looks like you guys had a blast in Kings Island. There was so much for the kids to do! We need to talk soon; I miss you and think of you guys all the time! Love you all! And I can't believe that Avery will be turning 3 soon - where does the time go?
