Kings Dominion



This year, Kip wanted us to take him to Kings Dominion for his birthday. We hadn't been in several years. No friends this time, just a family thing. Awwwww, he still loves us! So we took off work Friday, figuring it wouldn't be quite as crowded as on a weekend. The temperature was in the high 80's, but it wasn't as humid as it has been lately, thankfully. Here's Kip riding the Avalanche, in the blue "France" car. Then him and Lon on the Rebel Yell, in the very back car. The Rebel Yell is an old wooden roller coaster. I remember thinking it was awesome, 30 years ago, when you used to have the choice to ride it backwards. No, not sit in the seat backwards... duh... the whole train went backwards! I guess they don't do that anymore. Kip said the Rebel Yell was his favorite part of the day. Mine was cooling off on the Whitewater Canyon ride. We got SO DRENCHED! But Kip had won a souvenir towel by throwing baseballs, so we were able to dry off a little. All that fun and sun really wiped us out!
