Carowinds

 So since Avery loved Carowinds so much last year, we decided to get season passes this year.  It is only about 20 mins away and that way we can drop in for a couple of hours.  I was already planning on skipping a day of work once they open up on the weekdays and maybe Laura will join me and we can ride the big kid rides.

Before Laura left for China, me and Avery took the Saturday and headed out to have some fun.

 Most of the rides I was with her so I couldn't take pictures, but here is her on the Snoopy airplanes.  Avery just needs to grow about another inch to be able to ride a few more rides, but there are probably a half dozen she can do.

 Flying high!

 This ride was a little more casual so we could take a picture together on it.  Her favorite by far is the largest roller coaster she can ride.

 Going fast!  The balloons are decorated in flags of different countries, so we had to ride in the China balloon since Mommy was headed off to China the next day.

That night we took Mommy out for an american hamburger and Avery actually asked to have her picture taken beside this statue in the lobby.
