Camping at Carowinds! August 10, 2007

One of the hottest weeks of the summer and we take off to camp at Carowinds and ride the rides with 3 kids! We were up bright & early today to beat the crowd. It turned out that the crowd wasn't so bad - the temperature was a different story. But we managed to have a great time and even went back to the park that night and rode more rides. We ended up staying until almost closing time (10pm)! The carousel was our first stop and all 5 of us rode!
This was Preston's first time riding the carousel and he loved it.
Dora was fun to watch. Preston danced up and down in my lap.
Presley was just glad to be in a little shade and have an Icee!
Presley enjoyed the swings once she got on them. They had a huge stick to use to measure the children to see if they were tall enough to ride and she was scared to death of it. We took her to the gate twice to ride and she would walk away when she saw the stick. Finally a little girl about her size was in line and Presley let them measure her back to back with the little girl. So, they let her in the gate to ride and she couldn't look where she was going for checking out the ride operator to see if she had that stick again!

Daddy & Ryan are off riding the roller coaster while Presley plays in the water waiting for them.
Preston on the other hand just plays with his feet and smiles for the camera while he waits!
