Kings Island






We spent last Saturday at Kings Island courtesy of the Bautsch family and Honda. It was Honda R & D's day at the park. The Bautsch's grabbed us some spare tickets so we could tag along. We had a day of free food, drinks, amusement park and water park. What more fun could be had? We left Isaac in the care of my mom and spent some quality time with the older kids. Xavier had a blast! He was finally tall enough to ride more than the baby rides. His favorite was the Fairly Odd Coaster(formerly known as the Beastie). Brooklyn will be happy if she never again sets foot in line for any roller coaster. By the end of the Beastie ride I had two crying children. Brooklyn was screaming "This is the worst ride EVER! I hate the Beastie! I never want to ride this again!" Xavier was in tears because he didn't understand why he couldn't ride again without getting back in line. Brooklyn was also mad because her good buddy Avery was tall enough to ride anything she wanted, while Brooklyn was too short for anything outside of kiddy-land. I tried to explain that Brooklyn was afraid of everything IN kiddy-land so it really didn't matter. No luck. Maybe next year. She did try out her fisrt water slide and wave pool and decided both of those were quite fun! All in all, it was a good trip and a nice break from toting the baby. Thanks, Mom! Thanks Bautsch family!
