Kings Island With My Family + Banshee Brew Fest

By Lynette on May 17, 2016 · Leave a Comment

Kings Island Mason, Ohio - Banshee Brew (1)

Get ready for picture overload. No apologies.  🙂  This past Saturday we ventured down to Mason, Ohio to visit Kings Island.  It’s weird for me to think that I had never been to Kings Island until that day.  Having grown up in Ohio, you would have thought I would have taken the trip, but somehow it never worked out.  So this past Saturday, we packed up the boys and dressed them in quite a few layers to venture down to see what all the excitement was about.  It was also the last day of Banshee Brewfest so my hubby and I were excited to share a few brews.

I’m always amazed at how many things there are to do with young kids at a large theme park like Kings Island.  We spent most of our time at Planet Snoopy which was quite large and had plenty to do.  My biggest kiddo and I rode one of the “tower” rides together.   I’m not going to lie, it kind of freaked me out a bit.

Look how bundled up they are?!  When we got home, we realized that they both had five layers on.  My husband and I had both put a couple of layers on not realizing that they had some underneath from the other one of us dressing them.  Ha!  They never complained about it being cold.  I guess we know why!

The cold weather won’t keep us from having a great time at Kings Island today! So excited to have a day away with my family. ?????? #kifirsttimer @kingsislandpr @kingsislandofficial #sponsored #family #familyfirst #momofboys #kibestday

I think my husband had as much fun, if not more, than the kids!  Sometimes our whole time at theme parks feels like one big kid-fest.  And that’s okay.  Our boys love it and we love watching them have such a blast.  However, this time we decided to add some adult only fun to the mix after a long fun day of bumper cars and spinning helicopters.

My husband and I tag teamed it and enjoyed Banshee Brew!  I had never attended additional events within a theme park, and this was a great one to start with!  Oh my word.  So many different brews to choose from (over 200!).  I wondered where to start.  My husband took the boys (since it was 21 and over within gated area) and I had time to myself to try out some delicious beers, food and the live band.

I decided on the dark chocolate, first.  Oh, so good. Since food was included in our ticket I was able to score dinner and a few brews before heading back into the park.  I walked out and my husband went in to enjoy a few brews himself.

The next time I do believe we’ll leave the kids and make a date day of it.  However, the time to myself exploring was actually quite nice as well.  And it was hard to think of traveling to such a fun place without the kiddos.
