The whole Davidson clan came up this weekend. The main thing on everyone's mind was a trip to King's Island and, even though we were just there on Tuesday, no way were we going to miss out on the fun! Ella was thrilled to get to go back to the park so soon. I slept for a while on Saturday and then drove up to meet everyone. The first thing Ella wanted to do once I got there was pose for a family picture in front of the big pink duck...
Then on to the big carousel...
My sweet kiddos and their sweet grandparents...
Cade enjoyed riding the horse, but he mostly just wanted to figure out how the whole thing worked. He was looking around in awe...
Mamaw and I took Ella and Cade to Snoopy on Ice. It was really good! More than anything, I wish I had a video of Cade watching the show. He was adorable! He clapped and danced and waved his arms to the music- it was the cutest thing! It was all Mamaw could do to contain him! What a great memory!
After seeing the show, Ella couldn't wait to pose for a picture with Sally...
Ella said, "Look, Mom! Payton's here!" haha!
Cade just couldn't take anymore- he was wiped out! It was pretty late by this point. The park was open until midnight and Ella and Payton were being so good, so we just kept going!
Mamaw and Papaw kept the kiddos while Kyle, Kellie, Chris, and I rode Diamondback. As we were riding and came to the top of the first hill, the fireworks started! Incredible!! We all just loved it! Thanks for that, Mamaw and Papaw! Then, while Cade slept and everyone else went to do some late-night riding, I took Ella around to all her favorites in kid's land. There were absolutely no lines. She was actually the only rider on several of them. I kept telling her, "It looks like they kept this one open just for you!" She was loving it!
Late-night snack...
We climbed on our last ride just as the clock struck midnight. What a great time! The kids just couldn't have been any better. We didn't have the first minute of whining or fussing. They were pretty tuckered out by this point though!
Ella didn't make it to the car...
And I don't think Payton made it out of the parking lot. =) Thanks for going, Everyone! We had so much fun!!
