Kentucky Kingdom

 

Well all the best made plans always have changes.  Originally, I was staying in Kokomo with the youngest grandchild.  But then we were invited to go along.  And we did.  It was a nice three-hour drive to Louisville, Kentucky.  We booked two nights in a hotel.  And we spent two days at Kentucky Kingdom.  

Kentucky Kingdom is a waterpark/amusement park.  If you know me, you know I don't do rides.  A little something to do with motion sickness.  And yet I did do one ride with the youngest two grandkids, and it wasn't fun.  And then I did this swing with the oldest.  116 feet up in the air.  The view was grand for about 15 seconds and then it was spinning so fast you really couldn't see anything.  I told her she was very very special for me to have relented and rode the swing.  She said it was really fun.  

Everyone had a pretty good time.  I noticed all the adults, except me and Anthony, got sunburnt.  All the kids, except the little woman, did not.  And the little woman was sun screened up multiple times.  All that red hair just makes it so she burns so easy.  

I didn't make it all the way through the second day.  And it turned out the youngest two opted to go home with me.  They had had their fill of all the fun and I'm sure that made the last few hours for the rest even better.  

It was a grand family outing and memories were made.
