After years of purposeful delaying, our family finally decided that it was time to go to Carowinds for the day. We were a bit afraid to go an amusement park in July due to the heat, but it turned out to be a nice day with a steady breeze.
The first problem that we encountered was that Faith was 6 inches too short to ride the major rollercoasters in the park. At Carowinds you have to be 54 inches to ride the big ones and 48 inches to ride the secondary rollercoasters. After Faith started to cry we immediately went into Plan B mode: Mommy was to take Faith to as many of the smaller rollercoasters as she could find. We quickly pulled out the map and started our search. We found four small ones and rode them in one hour……barf. The last coaster did me in and I didn’t ride anything else for the rest of the day. My body was going into equilibrium shock. Tom had the honors of going with Faith on the last few, but I did enjoy the fun and spontaneous quality time that I had with Faith.
The boys stayed in the Snoopy Zone for the easy rides.
One of the best parts of the park was the water park, specifically this splash ground. See my feet? I got to relax for about 15 minutes.
The day was long, but enjoyable.
