Cedar Point

A bit of catching up, since we’ve been in Huron for the whole month and I’ve barely had a chance to post. First, it seems that no matter how much help there is, two kids take a lot more energy than one – especially at their current ages. And, two weeks ago, my computer decided it didn’t want to start up. Luckily, Tim’s mom has a great computer guy and it’s running again. So, here we are…

Back to Cedar Point… Tim’s sister, Maggie, got a great deal on tickets through her work, so we loaded up the girls and went for a few hours. We being Tim’s sisters, Katie and Maggie, and Reagan and Quinley’s cousins, Tyler and Jenna. Tim was back in DC for the annual softball tournament. They were all awesomely patient while Reagan rode some rides in the morning and then they rode the coasters and big rides after we left.

We hit up Kiddie Kingdom right after riding the big carousel just inside the main gate.

The smaller rides that went in a circle seemed to be a hit.

She thought she was a big kid and really wanted to do the bumper cars. So, Katie got her all set up and then she never figured out the pedal while the ride was going, so she didn’t move at all. It was actually pretty amusing and she was happy just to go on it.

We moved around from Kiddie Kingdom to Planet Snoopy and got on a ride that was a little to much. She made it through, but was happy to be off.

Despite that experience, she was determined to go on The Kite Eating Tree. This one turned put to be a little too scary, too. After they were raised to the top and dropped once, she was holding on for dear life and we had the guy stop the ride early so she could get off. I think that was her last ride of the day ;)

We all got on the Railroad to see a bit more of the park before the little girls and I hit the road for home.

It was a fun day, not even ruined by the fact that it was Sunday and the Chick Fil A in the park was closed.

"Can't I go someday?" asked Sophie. "It would be fun. I bet I'd meet those guys!"
"Yes, Sophie." Mom responded. "Next year for sure."
