We were lucky enough to get a tip last month when Cedar Point tickets went on sale for 1/2 off the gate fee! We were buying them for our youth group trip, but realized this might be the only way to take our "big ol' family". So, we called my mom and dad to see if they might be willing to watch the Littles or come along for some real fun! Well, they must have been terribly bored and had a major case of cabin fever, because they decided to join in. ;)
Wednesday morning, we got everybody up at 5:45 am. This was just enough time for everyone to visit the bathroom, pick out a cereal to take with them, and get the clothes on that we had set out the night before. The Littles thought we were crazy! By 6:00 am, we climbed into the White Whale and set off. We finally made it to the park at 9:40 am. First stop for us was the bathrooms. When we came out, all we found was an empty double stroller. Mom and dad had already started the fun as they held the Littles on their first carousel ride.
It was gorgeous day, not too warm and a nice breeze! We rode all sorts of rides and everyone had fun. The Littles loved everything! Addi took a 1.5 hour nap (Ryan got about 20 minutes). The biggest surprise was which one of our kiddos turned out to be a roller coaster rider... MEILYNN!! She LOVED them and was so brave! Brayden tried the Mine Ride with her, but she also conquered the Iron Dragon and the Gemini. We didn't have time to do any of the bigger roller coasters, but when she's in youth group and we head to Cedar Point, there will be no holding her back! :) Poor Kaitlyn is such a thrill seeker, but she's too short for all of the big rides. She still had fun on the ones she could ride with us on, but her pout broke my heart every time I had to tell her she was too short to ride. Jayson is a bit more timid, but he ended up loving some of the rides that surprised me. There ended up being lots of rides for the Littles. They had a great time and had HUGE smiles on their faces! I loved watching their excitement and hearing their giggles. It was a fun day and I am so thankful that mom and dad were there! Mom did a great job of walking the Littles around and dad was glad to jump in as an extra rider when needed!
