It's 11:00, and we're just getting the kids in bed...

I can't even remember what all we did today, it seems like it started so long ago. We were a little later getting up and around this morning - a little more willing to sleep in a few minutes longer. We went into the park for about an hour, and then made a mad dash back to the boat, as it started to downpour and thunder and lightning. We were held captive in the boat for over an hour. When we finally ventured out, it was still raining, but not nearly as severely as it had been. So, we tried to head to a nearby restaurant for lunch, and to wait out the rest of the rain. Apparently, LOTS of other people had the same idea, because they were all actually waiting outside! No thanks! So we headed for Max & Erma's instead.

After lunch, Isaac and Meagan chilled with Grandma on the boat while Lucas and I took Sebastian into Cedar Point to ride rides. One ride in particular - the Iron Dragon. He's had his eye on it since he found out he is tall enough to ride it. Finally today he got to ride it. In the front seat. He grinned from ear to ear the whole time, and at the end all he said was, "Whoa, I so want to ride that again." He is definitely a coaster boy.

At 4:00, we all took a load off and watched the Snoopy ice show. It was a nice little break from kiddy rides. But, when the show was over, back to kiddy land we went. The kids had been begging to play a game, so we let them play a guaranteed-prize game in Snoopy World. It wasn't quite what they had in mind, but for $1 and a prize vs. $10 and no prize, it's what they got! (Yes, I'm a frugal mother.) Again, it started to rain. We just decided to get wet the second time, since there was no thunder or lightning.

Isaac, Sebastian and Meagan all rode the Jr. Gemini. They all put their hands up on the hills even. It was adorable! Isaac still was very hesitant to get on almost every ride we pointed out today, but loved every single one of them when it was all said and done. What do you do with that?

Well, after another cookout on the grill tonight for dinner, we hung around until the light show...which didn't start until 10:00. So we didn't leave until 10:35, and didn't get back to the hotel until almost 10:45. Gross as it is, we totally skipped baths for the kids...we'll give the dirt time to settle and we'll clean them off in the morning. They all basically hit the pillows and CRASHED HARD!

I took very few pictures today, so I don't anything to share with you right now. Besides, I'm definitely ready to get cleaned up myself and fall into bed. Tomorrow we have promises of a ride on Woodstock Express. Lucas and I might also see if we can catch one big-people ride before the end of the day. Wish us luck...we've been pretty busy!
