First Kings Dominion Day (but not our last)

On Sunday we decided to take the kids to Kings Dominion (our local amusement park) for the day. KD opened last month and is only open on the weekends until school is out. The kids have been anxious to go and it was a descent day to head to the park.
There is just something cool about an amusement park. I know it brings back a lot of memories for Stacey, who used to go there growing up as well. Now, it's come back full circle where we are now taking our kids!

There are not too many rides that Lauren can ride yet, just the little ones for now. But that suits her just find, she still gets excited to ride them anyway! Jack and Caroline are right at the 48" mark, so they definitely have a wider option of rides to go on. Jack is becoming our little thrill seeker and loves going on the roller coasters! Caroline has not yet gotten the nerve to get on one yet and that is okay; she has always been our cautious one. She loves the Avalanche though. We had a great day and it turned out to be a fun family day for us. We end up getting a season's pass, so we will definitely have many more KD days! Definitely worth it!

Last night, we all went for a walk around the neighborhood and we stopped by the community playground for a bit. I couldn't resist taking these pictures; they totally bring out the playfulness of the kids. It's nice to see that they can still enjoy themselves at a playground! Ah, to be a kid again!!!!!!
