Kings Dominion

We had our first family adventure to Kings Dominion. Kings Dominion is a theme park with lots of rides and a water park. I used to love going when I was teenager. But I'm clearly not a teenager anymore. Amelia really wanted to go for her birthday so we decided to make a family day of it. 

Mom perspective: hot + crowded + expensive... not my favorite place 

Kid perspective: fun, fun, and more fun!... wants to go back again soon. 

I guess that's the most important thing. They loved it. I get sick on many of the rides now so I'm a lame mom, but we had fun all in all. 

Next time: no going on a Saturday. Lessons learned. 

We didn't get a lot of photos. But we got a few, mostly on the carousel 🐴 . 

Alex loved Snoopy Land. Amelia was bummed because some of the rides she was just shy of being tall enough for in the main park... one day! I wish they'd stop growing up so fast in many ways. The days are so, so long but I feel like I blinked and now I have a nearly ten year old😳. Seriously how did that happen?!? But in other ways I'm really enjoying having kids big enough to go on adventures with. I want them to have amazing memories of traveling and doing fun things with family. Everyone says these years fly by, so I want to make the most of them, even if that means standing in long lines while sweating my eyeballs out😅.
