The end of the school year means it's time for our annual trip to King's Island. Every year we stop on the way to visit our good friends from our days at TU, Jenny and Ben! And every year the time with them goes by WAY TOO FAST! Jenny and I talk on the phone every day and sometimes multiple times a day, so when we actually get to see each other in person, it's difficult to leave!
Jenny has the biggest heart! She got us our first gift for baby Gia, which is now sleeping in a little bed in Gillian's room. This little doll is so soft and will be so loved by Gia! Jenny got one for her little girl too as they are adopting from Ethiopia as well! It's been so fun to go through the process together!
Gerald and Grant are hanging out by the fire at Jenny and Ben's house.
The lovely hosts who fed us dinner and let us spend the evening relaxing by the fire, Jenny and Ben
Jenny with all the kids minus Beckett....
because I was lovin' on this little guy! This is Gillian's future husband, whom she has never met! Yes, we left Gillian again this year at the Nini and Papa Spa and Resort! This gave me time to love on Beckett! I just love him!!
Grady thought Lane was pretty! I hate to break it to him that she is a little too old for him! ;)
And then the next day we made it to the park! This year we didn't take many pictures because we spent a lot of time riding the big coasters! This was the first year that both boys were old enough to ride the big ones! Grant could even ride the biggest coasters and really enjoyed the Diamond Back! Gerald and I, on the other hand, felt a little dizzy after riding the Vortex more times than we could count!
The Burzy family joined us again this year! The kids get along so well!
Grady and Haydn still enjoy the small rides too and loved riding the cars!
Grant and Riley are a couple of old men and rode on the bench on the carousel! :)
On the third day, the boys enjoyed the water park. It was a little cool that day, but that doesn't stop the boys!!
It was another fun year! We can't wait to do it again! Maybe next year Gillian and Gianna will both get to go!!?? Maybe!

It is awesome that you and your good friends are both going through this journey together. What a blessing!
It looks like such a fun time...we usually go to Holiday World every year but KI is Dmitry's favorite roller coaster park. They really do have awesome ones :)
I love that baby Jenny bought Gia! So cool! I'm so thankful you and Jenny can go through this process together; as we both know, having a friend sharing your ups and downs makes the adoption process so much nicer. Kings Island is so much fun! I am putting dibs on going with you guys next year!
Wow, it looks like you guys had a blast! And what a thoughtful gift from your friend to Gia. Love that name, BTW. You guys are so cute, can't wait to see more summer adventures.
so awesome to have boy time and do big kid things and get to be with great friends! summer is the best!
