Rundown of the first 2 days:

Thursday:

I finished packing with VERY minimal stress! (Definitely my most successful packing endeavour in quite some time!) We left home around noon...ahead of schedule by about a half hour! So far, an amazing day!

We stopped in Toledo around 2:00 for lunch at BW's. $.50 boneless wings & a basket of fries. Then back in the van for more traveling pleasure.

We got to the hotel just after 4:00. Got checked in. Bought our passes. Went and had dinner...East of Chicago buffet, where my children ate more than I did, really! After dinner, we headed to the park for a little evening outing. The first thing Meagan spotted as we were walking in was the old-school sports cars. So that was our first stop. She was M.A.D. for a second when she found out she wasn't allowed to drive because she wasn't tall enough. But she got over it soon enough. After cars, Sebastian wanted to try the Calypso - a spinning while you spin ride...on a full stomach...not the best combo for me. But we went on it. The first time, Sebastian and Meagan went on it with Lucas & Me. Isaac was too unsure. The second time around, though, Sebastian talked him into trying it. So Sebastian rode alone; Meagan rode with Lucas; Isaac rode with me, and he LOVED it! He had a huge smile on his face the whole time.

From there, we hit Snoopy Land. The first ride they got on was the kiddy version of the demon drop or whatever. Again, Isaac was timid about getting on, but he reluctantly agreed to try it once for me. Again, he LOVED it. That boy! Anyway, after a few more rides at Snoopy Land, our night was cut a little short by a looming rain / storm that was rolling in. We headed to the hotel, got the kids in bed, then my mom and I went grocery shopping so we can make meals for the weekend instead of eating out. That's about it for Thursday.

Friday:

Our morning started at about 7:00 this morning. We made it into Cedar Point around 10:00.

Today was a monumental day in Sebastian's life...he rode his first roller coaster - Disaster Transport. His first ride that has a real height requirement. He is also allowed to ride Iron Dragon now, so that's definitely high on the list for tomorrow.

After a few hours, we headed out for lunch. Then a boat ride around the lake. In the afternoon, we changed up and headed to Soak City. The kids had a BLAST! Lucas and I were also able to get away on our own a bit and went on a few of the big water slides. We left Soak City about 6:00 (although we waited for AN HOUR for the shuttle to come, so it was really a little after 7:00 before we left!). For dinner we grilled at a little pavilion near the docks. We left the boat a little after 9:00. Hotel. Bath. Bed.
