KENNYWOOD

The boys and I went to Kennywood with Great Nanny, Nanny, Aunt Kristy, Lee Ann and Ashlynn. Of course Ben couldn't go because of his work schedule. This was Landon's 1st year at Kennywood and he LOVED it! He got to ride a lot of the "BIG" rides. More than we were expecting.

The first ride we went on was the Kangaroo. Everyone loves this ride. My sister and I can still remember riding that with our Nanny when we were little. This year she got to sit and watch us ride with her great grandchildren. How many people get to experience Kennywood or any other amusement park with their great grandparent? We sure did make some priceless memories this year. We got Great Nanny a scooter to ride around the park and that turned out to be a two for one deal. Landon got to ride around with her all day and we didn't have to worry about him whining about being tired. It was fantastic. Great Nanny really enjoyed riding around with Landon on her rented scooter. They are best buds:)

The second ride we rode was the Jack Rabbit. Lukas punked out this year and sat with great Nanny, but Landon was excited to ride. He rode with Nanny and Kristy and I rode together. We sat right in front of them and watched Landon's face the whole time. It was priceless! This coaster has two jumps and after the second jump we thought he was in shock. After a few seconds he started laughing and said it was awesome. He's definitely our little "Rider". He wanted to ride EVERYTHING!

Lukas spent a lot of time riding with Ashlynn. Lukas kept saying that she was his "riding buddy"! They had us howling on the bob sled ride. Lukas insisted on being the back rider (this is the person that gets smashed). He's too much! We all had fun watching them:)

Lee Ann took Lukas and Ashlynn to ride the raging rapids, Kristy and our Mom went to ride stuff that the kids couldn't get on and Great Nanny and I took Landon to Kiddie Land so he could ride. I got to say that this was the best part of the day...watching my Nanny smile with excitement while she watched Landon on all the little rides. Every time he'd go round and round yelling "Hi Great Nanny". Then after he'd got off a ride, he'd hop on her scooter and she would ride him to whatever he wanted to go on next.

When Kristy and our Mom came back to Kiddie Land she told us two to go ride any rides that we wanted to go on which were the Aero 360, Slingshot and of course I had to ride the Black Widow. The Black Widow is the new ride this year that took the place of the Pitt Fall. All I have to say about the Widow is ....AWESOME-LOVED IT, LOVED IT.....LOOVEEEEED IT! We waited in line for 30 minutes and it was totally worth every minute!

We had a wonderful day and I told Ben that the FOUR of US are definitely going next year!
