Kings Island Adventure!

At long last! She has been tortured with every trip to Aunt Kristen's, passing the "Tiny Tour Eiffel" and interesting-looking rides for over a year and a half. Finally, Genevieve got to go to Kings Island with Lily and Alex (Mommy, Daddy, and Kristen too)!

A picture paints a thousand words, but in some cases does not give the true representation of the day. Exhibits A – E, below.

It appears Gigi spent the day out-of-sorts and Alex spent the day smiling and waving. In fact, Gigi had a wonderful time! Lily had a wonderful time! Alex’s time was a bit more variable. He was not so enthusiastic about the rides, and protested often. However at the end of ride torture, he consistently announced “that was really fun.”

Lily’s favorite seemed to be the wave pool. Gigi’s could not be pinpointed so easily.

We Love Stricker's Grove!

This year's trip to Stricker's Drove was double-friends and double fun! Genevieve took Leela, and Rye came with his family and neighbor Alex.

Along with the usual rides, we were excited to learn that the girls were tall enough for the BIG rollercoaster this year! They rode it repeatedly. The other favorite was the ferris wheel.

Along with the rides, they got to enjoy all-you-care-to-drink soda. The special treat they chose (as if soda were not enough) was cotton candy.
