Earlier in the summer we bought two tickets to the amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio, called Cedar Point. We got them for really cheap through the OSU student union. We knew our chances to use them were running out. After much discussion on a Friday night about the pro’s and con’s of going to Cedar Point the next day, we decided to sell the tickets and stay home because the thought of taking a baby to a theme park all day without a place to nap sounded awful. We went to bed decided. The next morning we woke up feeling a little bit sad that we decided not to go. That’s when we looked at each other and said, “Let’s just go!” So we rushed around to get everything ready and jumped in the car for the two hour drive.
Stella was an absolute angel! She had so much fun! She napped on a blanket in the grass and in her stroller. She loved hanging out outside with her mom and dad, watching all the cool rides.We learned our lesson that day. That lesson was to just go and do things. True, it was harder with a baby and we didn’t get to go on as many rides as we would have pre-Stella, but we all had so much fun and it was way better than staying home and watching Netflix all day. And the joy in Stella’s face was obvious, just because we were out doing something fun together.
There were some really really intense roller coasters. We were able to use a baby swap pass that allowed one of us to wait in line while the other could wait with Stella. After the first person rode, the second person could walk right on.
Cedar Point is on a little, skinny strip of land that juts out into Lake Eerie.
Here is a little video showing the shore line from the top of the ferris wheel. You can also see some of the ride Wicked Twister. It was one of our favorite rides because there was no line for it! After waiting almost two hours to ride Millennium Force, we were all about a ride with a 5 minute waiting time.

Stella even got to go on a few rides. She loved it!
Stella was so good that we were able to stay until closing time at 10:00. I lost my wallet in the park and went back in after closing and ran around the whole park searching for it. I didn’t find it, but the next week I got it in the mail. Someone found it and I am so grateful!
What a great day!

To receive your wallet in the mail just renews your hope in the spirit of Christ that exists in every person, doesn't it? I love Stella's hair in little pig tails like that. Too cute!
