We had another great trip to Kings Island amusement park, just as we did last year. Because Emma's a bit taller (42 inches, to be exact), she was able to ride a few more rides than last time. In spite of the rain that followed us off and on throughout the day, we took advantage of the relatively short lines and rode about twice as many rides as last year, when we had picture perfect weather. We spent most of our time in "Planet Snoopy," the kids' area, which has a good mix of traditional and novel rides. We also enjoyed the water park, where a few drops didn't matter. The highlight of our day, though, was a ride on the "Woodstock Express" (formerly "The Beastie," the kids' version of "The Beast"), a traditional wooden roller coaster. Since Emma had opted out of two rides at the last minute, we weren't sure if she'd enjoy a roller coaster, but she LOVED it! In fact, we rode it 4 times, and Todd and I were having almost as much fun as she was! Unfortunately, we weren't able to get any pictures of it because the ride was set back in the trees, but take my word for it, Emma's becoming a real thrill-seeker!!!
