Carowinds & Friends

Today we had a fun day for Hannah & Madison. We were supposed to be at the beach right now, but Kelley's conference got cancelled, so we had to give them something! We decided on Carowinds!! FUN FUN!

.

.
As soon as we got there, we were lucky to meet a variety of Nick characters....

(Can you name them all?)

.

.

Then we hit the rides! The girls were fearless. Neither one hesitated to ride, ride, ride!

.

The swings and carousel.....2 favorites.

.

The little jets & Azul's train were fun.

.

The Sky Needle was cool. We got to see all over! And the pirate ships were hilarious! They were screaming and screaming, and squishing eachother, and it was great! We rode this one several times!

.

The yellow kid coaster was a hit. After this picture they even rode it together BY THEMSELVES!

.

Boot's Balloon Race was a hit with the kids (though the moms were nauseus afterwards). And we finally rode the LOG RIDE (Madison has avoided this for 4 years, but then LOVED IT!)

.

.

We also caught a fun Dora show. They danced & danced....and met Dora & Boots!





.
On the way out, we made the girls stand in different states.

They were totally clueless about the NC/SC thing, but that's ok. :-)

.

.

A great day for all. No lines, hot (but not too bad), no fussing or complaining....The girls were disappointed that we didn't hit the water park side too.....NEXT TIME! :-)
