Cedar Point

A couple weeks ago, it was a perfect day and Bill had the idea to head over to Cedar Point and check it out.

Now Bill & I haven't been there since before we got married and I was a little leery about taking all the kids. I know others that go often, but I didn't know how much little kid things there were to do. Boy was I surprised! We didn't even ride everything that the kids were able to go on.

It was perfect weather wise. An overcast day high 70's. We got there around noon and stayed for the whole afternoon. Oh it was a blast! Even Natalie turned into a little thrill seeker. Over in Camp Snoopy there are a lot of rides that mom & dad can ride on with the kids and she loved it!



First thing we went on was the space spiral. So we could take a look at the whole park. The kids were amazed by all the rides and things to do.


We spent quite a bit of time in Kiddyland. Elena and Ethan just ran from ride to ride, the minute one would end they would make a plan for the next two rides.





The hot air balloons in camp snoopy spun around and around and went up and down. This was Elena's favorite for the day she rode once with mommy (mommy didn't care much for it) and once with the rest of the crew. (daddy and Natalie didn't like it much either)




While we were in Camp Snoopy, we took in a show. The kids were able to come on stage and sing a song. Here they are singing the Alphabet Song.
What Ethan waited for almost the whole day was his highlight. The Jr Gemini. A little kids roller coaster. I was surprised that Elena wanted to ride also, but they both thought it was pretty awesome.


The one thing I learned about myself that day is that The Big Wheel (ferris wheel) and 3 kids do not mix. We went for a ride and I almost passed out. Trying to keep everyone still. I just knew someone was gonna go flying out of our ride and plummeting 200 feet. Didn't help that Natalie could un do her own seatbelt. Ethan thought it was funny that I had my eyes closed for most of it. Won't do that again...I definitely can see doing this again and again. Great way to entertain the kids and a great idea for mom & dad to go on a date and ride the big coasters! There were so many new things, Bill & I were like little kids pointing out the things we would like to do!
