Kennywood Park – a day at Kiddie Land

Just a personal photo blog post from our trip to Kennywood Park last week.  If you aren’t sure what Kennywood is, please check out their website: https://www.kennywood.com.  This massive Pittsburgh amusement park is only about 1 mile from our home.  I’ve been going there since I was a teeny tiny tot.

4 adults + 2 toddlers + 1 newborn + 1 wagon + 1 huge cooler + 1 Canon 5D Mark II and a 50mm f/1.4.

The little turtles are no joke.  They were a little rough for little peanut Ada & my pregnant self.  Kiddie Land at Kennywood

I found this duck pond to be a big waste of $2. lol.  She picked her 3 ducks in about 3 seconds & that was it.

Pick a tiny, ugly, strange unidentifiable creature (you can see it in her pocket). Kiddie Land at Kennywood - pick a duck

She came so close to napping, but could never quite fall asleep.  I wanted to pull my hair out at times. Kiddie Land at Kennywood - sleeping baby - wagon ride

Ada actually enjoyed the swings.  I’m pretty sure she was petrified on every other ride.  Kiddie Land at Kennywood - swings

Especially this one. Kiddie Land at Kennywood - Dumbo - elephant ride

This one was her last straw.  Too much.  She backed out of the next two rides.Kiddie Land at Kennywood - scary ride

Although, we somehow got her on a horse.  She’s still talking about the “ride. horse”.  Kiddie Land at Kennywood - carousel ride

Picnic groves for another break.  Sweet Ruby smiled for the first time ever… and as soon as I got my camera, she immediately got upset.  Kennywood 2014-81_BLOGKennywood 2014-85_BLOG

Ada just loves babies! Especially “Baby Ruby”. Kennywood 2014-87_BLOGKiddie Land at Kennywood - running around

OMG – we were all so fall-over tired by the time we left.  We grabbed a pizza for dinner and the girls stayed up way too late entertaining one another.  Awesome day.
