Kentucky Kingdom

For the first time this summer, Robert and Marissa were been able to go to Kentucky Kingdom to enjoy a day of rides!!!

Seriously,

This was the first day that was good enough to go... they were gone in early June for the wedding and Robert's BYU Soccer camp.  Then we had the Barb's kids here for a week (longer) and so they couldn't go that week (too expensive to take everyone).  Then, it was time to go ... but NO!!!! the weather hasn't cooperated until now.

Robert and Marissa went on Wednesday for the first time - and so did almost everyone from Louisville.  The rides had lines that were over an hour wait - but they really enjoyed the roller coaster rides!!!  They got to ride the two new rides as well as an old favorite!

I was just so happy that they finally got to go to Kentucky Kingdom - I bought their season passes back in MARCH!!!

- I hope Marissa wills send me some photos!!!

AGAIN

They loved it so much they went the next day too - and the weather cooperated!!!!  This time they did the water park.  They said there were a lot LESS people there on Thursday and they had a blast!  That makes me so happy!

I wanted them to be able to enjoy the summer - especially with this being the last summer Marissa is home before she goes off to BYU!

- need photos!!!

Robert and Marissa go to Kentucky kingdom

Since I started a new full time job I can't take the kids to Kentucky kingdom during the week any more... Bummer, but Marissa can drive so she and Robert are both very excited to be able to go by themselves.

Today Marissa and Robert went to Kentucky Kingdom on their own after they got their chores done at home.  They were there all day.  They had a blast.  Around 5:00 it started to rain and they came home.  

Kentucky Kingdom with Devon and Marissa TWICE

Tuesday:  Robert is at scout camp and Devon will be going there tomorrow so I decided to take Devon and Marissa on a day trip to Kentucky Kingdom.

We had a blast at the park.  It was a great day but cloudy.  We went straight to the water park and did as many water rides as possible.  We did the new tube rides, family tube rides and then we did the new tallest in America single slide.  It stands at 210 feet above ground.  awesome!!!  While we were waiting in line we could see a storm approaching... then I realized that storm is directly over where Robert is at camp - poor thing!!!  It was moving in our direction.  We needed to hurry this ride along so we would make it down before it hit!  It's going to be a loud, lightning summer storm...

We finally made it to the front of the line with only a few sprinkles falling...

Devon went first - brave as he is.  Then Marissa, because I didn't want her or him to see my face.  Then I went - oh my gosh!!!!!  You go straight down, and down, and down.

It was a blast.  As soon as I came down, the rain clouds broke open and it started to pour.  We gathered up our stuff and left ...

BUT WE CAME BACK ON SATURDAY

I was so tired of the fact that we didn't have any photos of all the fun we were having, but Devon didn't want his photo taken, so we honored that, but that didn't stop Marissa and I from doing our best.

I snuck a photo of Devon and Marissa resting in the grassy lawn

Devon took this of Marissa and me

AAAAA HHHHHH

We love Kentucky Kingdom!!!

Kentucky kingdom with Robert and Devon

Before Devon leaves on his mission I want him to have some memorable moments with his brothers and sisters so I made sure we took time to go to Kentucky Kibgdom.

I took Devon and Robert and we had a great day.  We did the tornado and a few smaller rides.  We are pizza and had drinks.  It was very crowded but we really had fun.

These guys are so much fun together.  I think Robert is really going to miss Devon when he's gone and Devon is going to miss Robert - but he'll be preoccupied with his mission :\

It was a perfect day!!!

I was even super nice and promised not to take photos of Devon while at Kentucky Kingdom.
