Kings Island {Labor Day Weekend 2014}

Over Labor Day weekend this year, we took a trip over to Kings Island.  We all had a great time, but were exhausted by the time we came home on Monday evening.

 

We left to head over early Saturday morning and our family spent the day at Kings Island. We spent the morning in Planet Snoopy and the girls had a blast riding all the rides.  We took a break in the late afternoon and went to check into our hotel, take quick naps (all of us) and grab dinner before heading back to the park until around 8:15 pm. 

 

 

The weather forecast was a little questionable all weekend so instead of heading back to the park on Sunday, we opted to delay it until Monday.  We were able to spend Sunday and Monday with Lindvalls and Nana and Papa and the girls had a blast with their cousins.  We spent the day at an indoor waterpark (Coco Key Resort) on Sunday and then went back to Kings Island on Monday.

I can practically hear them giggling.  These two LOVED the rides...the bigger, the better!

As expected, the five of us staying in one hotel room was a little challenging.  Maddy came down with a runny nose on Saturday so she had a rough time sleeping throughout the weekend (hard to suck your thumb when you can't breathe out of your nose).  Sunday night was particularly awful as we think she had croup.  She also coughed so hard she threw up in our bed as we were getting ready to put the girls down.  We were up off and on all night with her, running the steaming hot shower all night long and holding and comforting her.  When she did sleep, she actually slept in bed with me and Jeremy slept with Kens.  However, she woke up happy as usual on Monday morning!



Had to take a picture before she woke up in the morning.



Overall we had a great trip!
