Cedar Point

The kids regard the trip to Cedar Point Amusement Park as one of the high points of the whole trip.

This reminds me of the determined elves in The Santa Clause 2. (CLC)

Waiting for Top Thrill Dragster. (CLC)

Also waiting. (CLC)

This is the ride. (CLC)

Alan and I did our own thing while the most adventuresome did the big roller coasters.

We watched these ducks for awhile.

And had frozen smoothies for lunch.

There were fish in the water.

We rode the River Boat, twice, and listened to the very corny patter.

For instance, Alan liked this one, "What do the bears call a camper in a hammock?" "Breakfast in bed."

I can't believe Roger rode Millenium, seen here from the 'river'.

Some of us walked over to the beach and tried the water.

Alan found the kids' playground on the map.

When you jump on these plates, each one makes a different musical note, like a xylophone.

Glen helps the boys fill and then lift the bucket.

Somewhat random sign: part of the park reflects the history of the area. This sign is of interest to the Coopers because that's our personal family history -- walking over to the Firelands.

Uncle Roger wanted to do the Ferris Wheel before leaving. (CLC)

So he did. (CLC)

Meanwhile, Alan and I did the water ride again. (CLC)

At the end of the day, Alan and Roger decided to both enjoy the kid-sized bumper cars.
