carowinds in the fall

carowinds cutie
Since our season passes were set to expire at the end of the month, we made sure to go to Carowinds every weekend in October.  Ellie is so good at waiting patiently while the big kids go on the big rides.

riding the horsies
Especially since we ALWAYS make time to ride her beloved horsies.

balloons and intimidator
The girls (and sometimes Nick) really enjoy the balloon ride and they go if they can convince Jacob to take them.
