Last Thursday night, we left to go to Ohio! Sort of a mini vacation. We got to D’s brothers house at 9:15 p.m. yawn We had a good trip, except we ran into a MASSIVE storm. Turns out there was also a tornado warning with it. Glad I didn’t know that at the time! lol

Friday
We went to Kings Island. It was homeschool day, so the tickets were a LOT cheaper. My mother gave our family money for Christmas, and everyone voted to go to KI. The kids waited a long time for their Christmas present! We were through the gates, and waiting in the park for them to lower the rope when the park opened at 10. We left at 7. That’s NINE hours! Melissa stayed at the park with Stephanie and Kristen, who joined us when they got out of school. They stayed at the park until it closed at 11! I was SOOOO tired and sore when we left the park! I didn’t think I was going to make it back to the van! lol
