Cedar Point!!

It's become tradition for us to go to Cedar Point with James' parents. We go on our rides (Ethan can now go with us on most) and they play with the kids in the kiddie areas. This year was much of the same, but James' sister and her family came and my sister, cousin, and mom came as well.

James, Ethan, and I went to Cleveland the night before so we could spend some time with my family (especially James with Justin) and get to Cedar Point early. The plan was a good one...we were going to go straight to Millenium Force when we got in the park to get it in before the line got too long. We rushed to the line and the thing was closed! My mom, James, and Ethan waited in the line while Jess, Courtney, and I went on Maverick (Ethan can't go on it yet). We thought for sure it would open, but, instead, we wasted the first hour on the millenium force and never did get to ride it. In spite of the rough start, we had a fun-filled day of roller coasters and drops and the little ones enjoyed the kiddie rides!

Not a good ride for me to go on at the end of the

day...spinning and more spinning
