Summer Break

Chase took his last final today (WOO HOO!) so to celebrate his freedom, we went to spend the day at Kings Island! It's a pretty fun place with some fun roller coasters, a Nickelodeon kid's area, and a water park. We went on the perfect day because not all the kids are out of school and it was a weekday, so some rides we walked right on! That's my kind of wait!


I thought these cars were kind of cute! It was a car chase ride complete with cop cars, a helicopter, and fire!

I had to take this picture of Chase, not because he's a beast but because it was his favorite ride. He is so fun to ride with, he just GIGGLES the whole time!

Son of the Beast - a wooden roller coaster that is the world's longest and tallest! It was really fun!

This blurry picture is of a ride that takes you 115 feet in the air and through five inversions, all while facing the ground, experiencing the feeling of human flight! It was a very strange feeling!

This is us at the top of a scaled down model of the Eiffel Tower - probably the only we will ever see. Here are a few pictures we took from this view.

Just a bunch of ups and downs to tickle your tummy! Mom, you would love this one!

This was a different ride where you do the track once frontwards and then backwards. It's the first roller coaster Chase has been on where you hang from the track.

We had a lot of FUN! Chase is extremely excited for his summer break and I'm sure he'll be golfing his brains out! We can't wait for our trip home!
