{Summer FUN} Carowinds Coaster Challenge

We ended the summer with a trip to Carowinds ~ Where the Carolinas Come Together...


A couple of weeks ago, Hubby bought our family a season pass to our local amusement park, Carowinds...


so that we can go for free as often as we'd like through the end of 2020!



It was partly just a good deal now that all of the kids are old enough to enjoy roller coasters, and partly a treat to keep us occupied if ever a weekend rolls around where we're feeling down while Hubby is covered up with U.S. Army War College work.

It's already paid for itself!

TODAY, on Labor Day, the (unofficial) last day of summer, we (well, 4 of us) completed our Carowinds Coaster Challenge...


Since Hubby wasn't with us today (ironically, NOT due to War College studying, but due to darn, Hurricane Dorian - go away, Dorian), he's got one more to go, but...
