carowinds

We had the opportunity to go to Carowinds for free last Friday so we loaded the boys up and headed out. Despite the looks in the following picture (we were waiting in line to get in) I think they both had a blast. 

Matthew took Grey last spring as I was very pregnant with a big ol' baby boy. But I got to go this year with that big ol' baby boy to enjoy the sights. And oh my, he was mesmerized! He watched the roller coasters intently all morning and even caught a quick ride with the guys on the carousel!

Grey actually took off like an ol' pro. I was really surprised seeing as he is apprehensive about most things. 

He got on this particular ride VERY enthusiastically but as it progressed in to full force...

He looked a little more like this...

I have a feeling this little guy is going to ride everything possible when he's big enough! Watching and learning.

Grey rode all the rides for his height and cried hysterically when he was too short for the pirate ship roller coaster. He had a great time otherwise. I even got to ride an old favorite.  There's nothing like a nice sweaty, sticky seat and the thrill of Top Gun. (which is no longer named Top Gun but some weird name)

We all got to ride the train together which was nice after a long hot morning.

Tuck was exhausted from all that watching he did.

Choo choo!

And we ended the day with quite the funnel cake. wow is the only word i can think of to possibly describe it's massiveness of sugar. They've taken things to a whole new level since I was young. 

Guess we'll catch you next year Carowinds!
