Sunday was our day at Kings Island. We got there about when it opened. We went to camp Snoopy (the kids area) first. We rode on the helicopters that went around the Camp Snoopy area. Then Austin and Brian went on the roller coaster. Sydney drove some cars. We were some what disappointed because there were only about 5-6 rides that Sydney could ride. She is 33 inches. The kids still had fun. After riding several rides, we went for a walk around the park. During the walk, the kids took a nap in the stroller.
During nap time Brian and I walked over to the water park to check it out. We decided it was worth it so once the kids woke up we took them to the water park. The water park was very nice. I enjoyed it more than the dry rides. We played for a couple of hours. Sydney even enjoyed going down the water slides herself. She was a little hesitant at first but Brian got her to do it and then she loved it. We had so fun.
After the water park we rode the train. Austin really loves trains. He talks about riding a train a lot. Then we went up in the Eiffel Tower. Sydney was a little scared of that. Austin didn't have any fear. We finished our day at Kings Island riding a few more kiddie rides.
We realized we should of packed a cooler for lunch. The price of food in the park is ridiculous. We decided to leave the park and find dinner on the way home. We wanted to eat at Friendly's however there was not one near by. We ended up at Ruby Tuesdays. It was not the best choice. The kids were not well behaved and the food was just okay. We have no plans to return there anytime soon. It was a fun exhausting day.
On Monday morning we took Brian to work. Then the kids and I went back to the hotel. We went swimming. The kids had life jackets on so they could swim everywhere. We swam for about an hour then we got dressed and checked out of the hotel.
I took the kids to the children's museum and the natural history museum for the day. The Cincinnati children's museum is awesome! I really love it there and so do Austin and Sydney. They really like the ball area and the water play. The construction site is cool too. We played there until about 1 pm. Then we went and had some lunch at the museum entrance. After lunch we went to the National History Museum. In there the kids got to play in sand and explore a cave. They were a little scared of the cave but enjoyed it. They had a lot of fun. Then we went and picked up Brian and drove home.
The next weekend was Solon home days. It's a carnival with rides and food. We went with Lisa, Keith, and Kaitlyn. The kids got a pass for the rides. They rode the rides all evening. It fun to watch them ride the rides. We are taking them so many places because before we know it they will be too old for a lot of these things. Our outlook is the kids are only young once so let's do as much as we possibly can with them. We are all enjoying it.
Unfortunately Sydney is entering into the terrible 2 phase. She is loud and screams a lot. She likes things her way only. She will have tantrums now. It's so sad. Luckily she is still the most lovable girl. She loves hugs and kisses. She will say hi to Austin until he finally says hi back. Sydney still sleeps on her floor most nights. She likes to arrange the blankets however she wants them. She will tell me exactly where to sleep too. Some nights she will want rocked to sleep too. I am enjoying that because soon she will not. She goes to bed between 9-9:30 pm and gets up around 7 am. That is the same for Austin but Austin almost always gets up a little bit earlier.
