Colten's 6th Birthday!


Colten turned 6 years old on Saturday. I can't believe he's 6! Where has the time gone? Kindergarten is almost over and he'll be in the 1st grade. His graduation is May 22nd - here's a pic of him in his cute little cap and gown. I just love the crooked smile!

For Colten's birthday this year, we decided to go to King's Island instead of a big party. Our great friends, Becky and Andy, and their 3 kids went with us along with my mom and dad and my grandma. We had such a fun time!

It was a very windy day, so we tried to Addison out of it as much as possible. But, of course, she's way too nosy! She has to see what's going on.

Our first ride was the Scooby Doo Haunted Castle. As you can see...it was VERY SCARY!!

The kids were so brave riding the roller coasters...

Time for the Fairly Odd Coaster or better known as The Beastie! Here we are climbing up the hill - the anticipation made us giddy!


And we stopped to have Colten's birthday ice cream - Dippin' Dots!

We had so much fun that I hardly took any pictures. :( Of course alot of my time was taken by waiting in line for their new coaster Diamondback. Andy and I stood in line for over an hour - which isn't too bad for a new coaster. I didn't even get a picture of it - it was so much fun.
(Here's a pic of Diamondback I found on the web...shhhh - don't tell anyone!)

We even got to ride it in the front row, which was really intense...but AWESOME! Here we are at the end of the day, getting ready to go home.

Happy 6th Birthday Colten!! What a fun way to celebrate. You are brave to ride in the front seat of the roller coaster Julie. So glad you all had a great time. Addy was a trooper. Love, Beth
