With the kids out of school at the end of May we thought we would head back to spend a week with both sets of grandparents. We went to Ohio first for the big event of the summer....CEDAR POINT. Tyler has this book, The Kids World Almanac, which he loves. Well, in it, it talks about the top places for roller coasters. Of course Cedar Point was at the top and so for over a year he has been talking about it. A couple of years ago we went to Six Flags with the whole family. It is definitely not as big as Cedar Point and with Carter in tow it makes riding very many rides a little difficult. We did go though because Tyler had earned free tickets from school for his reading. So last year both of the kids earned tickets again but thought we would pass because Carter was just still to young. Anyhow, we made plans for my parents to keep Carter and then we could go and ride almost all the rides with the two big kids. As planning came along, Mark and Jen also came along with Jacob.
We had SO MUCH FUN! The crowds were so small that day. Most of the rides we could just walk on and the two longest rides were only 30-45 mins! The very first thing we rode was the Demon Drop! Both kids loved it and were not scared, which I thought was amazing. (If you are familiar with Cedar Point you understand). Tyler rode every big roller coaster he could and LOVED it. After a couple of the big one Kennedy could take it or leave it. Jacob could not ride any of the roller coasters so she enjoyed hanging out with him. My biggest surprise was when Tyler rode the Top Thrill Dragster......TWICE! It is a roller coaster that I wasn't even sure I would ride! (He loved it.) So it was a great day for all of us together. Kendall and Carter stayed with my parents and had a great day at Build A Bear and playing together. It will definitely be memories for all of us to cherish.
