Places to Go
My parents have been planning to take my two oldest children and my niece and nephew to Kings Island for sometime now. A group from our church is going this weekend for a music festival. Yesterday, out of the blue, my dad asks me if I want to go instead of him. Hmmm let me think....stay home with two toddlers or get away for a weekend of fun, some of my favorite bands, and thrill. We are leaving this afternoon.
Of course after I said yes I started thinking, and realized that I haven't been on a roller coaster in a very long time. Kellen, of course has done a very thorough investigation online of all the coasters. He starts telling me about how fast, how high, and how many loops they make, and I wonder if I really got the better end of this deal. No matter, we will have fun.
Here are some virtual festivals and carnivals for you to enjoy while I enjoy the thrills of the amusement park and the music festival there this weekend.
Make It From Scratch
Homesteading Carnival
Dirty Fingers - a gardening carnival.
Carnival of the Recipes
Frugal Food Part Five - Chicken
I'm off to finish packing and try to get a few things done before I go! Have a great weekend. After all the coasters I may wish I'd just played a playstation 3 instead, but I doubt it!

I love King's Island! I remember going to that same music festival there in high school- dc Talk was playing the year I went.
If you can stand waiting in line for it, The Beast is a good roller coaster with a long ride- that doesn't go upside down, if you're not into that :) There's even a book about the coaster I read before I knew it actually existed. Not exactly high-quality literature, but I remember liking the book, as a mid-elementary-schooler.
Thanks for mentioning the Frugal Food Series! Hope you have fun at Kings Island. It must be amusement park season, we just went to Busch Gardens (Williamsburg) on vacation.
