Kennywood Opening Day 2026 Vlog | New Updates + First Day Crowds

Happy Opening Day Kennywood Park 2026 It's this mile-marker moment in time where we are invited to stop, look back at where we started, contemplate all we've been through, and then celebrate the here and now. (Yep, that probably sounds like a Hallmark card, but that's honestly where I am in this moment in time.) Today is Derrick and I's 16th wedding anniversary - which I'm not sure is entirely possible, since we're only 25 years old? But regardless, the math says we got married 16 years ago today. I know I've called Derrick my rock before, but he still is. And that's honestly the best, most descriptive word I can use to accurately describe him. And he's really good at it. And I love him for it. In fact, I love him more today, than I did last year, than I did 16 years ago. Happy anniversary, Derk - cheers to the next 16+ years!

Opening day at Kennywood always feels like the start of summer for us. We spent the first day of the 2026 season exploring the park, checking out what’s new, and soaking in the energy of opening day crowds as everything comes back to life! Since I was also at media day just a week prior,...

(We’ve been riding the Lego-theme for quite a while – and good news,...
