The "Fun" Place

That's what Katelynn called Carowinds, the amusement park on the North Carolina/South Carolina border that we went to yesterday. This morning she told me, "I want to go to the fun place again, mommy." I was lucky enough to win tickets to Carowinds a few months ago, and we saved our tickets until this weekend in hopes the weather would be cooler- no such luck though. We still sweat in the heat yesterday, but we had a great time. Katelynn is fearless. She loved every single ride she went on and wanted to do them again and again. As we were leaving, she was wanting to go on one of the huge, twist-you-upside-down rollercoasters and was so upset when we explained that she was just a little too small yet for those.

These picture are in no order since I am having trouble with the page again tonight but here are a few from our trip yesterday!

We took Justin on four different rides that they had there. This was one of them. It may look like just Jonathan is riding in the car, but Justin is driving it- ha,ha!
Katelynn says her favorite ride was the rollercoaster. She went on with Daddy, then Mommy, and then wanted to go again... and again.... and again.

Carowinds also had a water park that was included with admission. It was soo hot that we spent our afternoon cooling off there. While Katelynn is fearless on the rides, Justin is fearless with the water. Katelynn doesn't really like the water in her face still, but Justin didn't care one bit. He was trying!

Another fave of Katelynn's was the cartoon characters. She didn't want to pose for pictures with them, but she insisted on hugs!

I remember this ride from when I was little and attended carnivals!

Another of Justin in the water. He was killing me with that tongue.. determined to catch the water on his tongue!

My two favorite guys <3

This was one of Katelynn's first rides. She wanted to be able to ride anything and everything she could BY HERSELF.

Such a sport- hanging out in the stroller while his sister was having a blast.
