#TBT [Carowinds Circa 2007]

I remember this trip like it was yesterday.
Which really means I don't really remember it at all.
I can barely remember what I did yesterday.
When was yesterday?
See what I mean?

However, I do remember this was a surprise trip for all of us kids. My dad's job held their yearly "get together" at Carowinds, and we didn't know until we were pulling into Carowinds parking lot.

I miss times like these, when life was in a more "care-free" vein. We could do things together without having to arrange schedules and re-arrange life.

We all looked so young and ... dare I say it? Homeschoolerish. I can't believe my mom let us go out in public like this! Dear Mom, I know we were teenagers, and we probably wouldn't have taken any advice, so then was a good time pull out the "I'm the Mom do so" card.  I can't believe I actually walked around in PUBLIC like this!?

Before leaving home. We were excited and didn't even know where we were going!

Weston was less than thrilled about riding the kiddie ride. Tough buddy.

The whole Fam.
I used to not care about what I wore. Can you tell?

I don't think he was uber excited about this ride :)
