Thursday morning we took Luke to my Aunt and Uncle's house south of Dayton so my cousin Emma could keep him for us. We knew there was no way he could stand the heat, and we are so thankful they agreed to keep him. We also knew he was in great hands and didn't worry at all. He did great (of course) and they even had dinner ready and on the table for us when we got back to their house that evening. Thanks Mark, Cathy, Adam & Emma!!!!!
While it was hot that day (the hottest day of the year so far!) it was not near as bad as we had expected. I think the heat index was 105, but there was a really good breeze in most parts of the park so that made it bearable. I kept saying, This is not an bad as I thought it would be! It also helped that I smuggled in 10 frozen water bottles. The heat also kept a lot of people at home that day, so it wasn't too crowded. I think the longest Caleb had to wait was about 10 minutes.
This picture cracks me up. He was so NOT excited or impressed with the swings. His unenthusiastic wave says it all! All day he wanted to ride the big rides (think Diamondback, not the Beastie!) and still talks about how when he is "tall like Uncle Luke" he can.
Ahhhh...the air conditioned ride! It is a haunted house these days (remember Phantom of the Opera? or Scooby Doo?) and actually pretty scary looking. Caleb LOVED shooting the ghosts with his "boo blaster" though.
We had lunch at Momma Rosa's (ahhh...air conditioning!) where they are again doing live entertainment, so that was fun. Caleb loved the singing and dancing. After lunch we headed to the water park and played until Caleb said he wanted to "go back to Kings Island." 
Two thumbs up...that's what Caleb thinks about Kings Island!
Ahhh...air conditioning again. Daddy likes the boo blasters too! (Mine didn't work this time and I was so bummed!)
The sign of a good day. He napped until we got back to Mark and Cathy's house (30 min) but was awake the ENTIRE way home, and we didn't get home until 10. That crazy kid!
