So every year P&G rents out the Kings Island Amusement Park for employees and their families. We didn't think the boys would meet the minimum height requirements for most rides, but we thought we might be able to sneak them onto one or two. This actually proved to be more difficult than we thought. 
The first ride we attempted to take them on required that children be a minimum height of 42 inches "Or accompanied by a responsible adult." After waiting in line we were told that the boys would require socks before they could ride. I'm not sure how having socks on made the ride safe for an 11-month old but who were we to question the powers that be at Kings Island. Conveniently, the gift shops at Kings Island sell toddler socks. 
Here Ben seems a bit puzzled to find the ground moving.
The second ride also had a sign requiring a responsible adult. The staff at Kings Island waited until we were actually on the ride before asking me if Matt could walk. I responded that he could not and they kicked us off the ride. Walking was apparently an undocumented requirement to ride. So here we are in line after getting kicked off
Luckily the staff at the Carousel was far more laissez-faire when it came to socks, walking abilities, and height requirements.

I have to ask: the one jaunty cap front, one jaunty cap back thing -- is that your doing or theirs? Because either way, it is too cute for words.

Its actually Fate's doing. Matt's head is smaller than Ben's, so his hat only stays on when its backwards. We've decided he's a backwards-hat kind of guy though.
Fun times!
