Welcome to America's Roller Coast!

Little Sweetie turns 10 this month and instead of a party, she decided she wanted to commemorate her decade milestone at her favorite place on earth: Cedar Point! She wanted to take her nearly 10 year old height back to the coaster with the goal of riding them all over Fall Break. And, since it was October, that meant we got to do all the Halloweekend fun too!

     

     

Heading to Ohio!






Landed in Cleveland!



Resting on the drive to Sandusky!




There it is...America's Roller Coast!



We made it!





Checked into the cabin. Ready to enjoy some lake view before heading into the park in the morning!




Here we go!





First ride of the day, Gatekeeper!





Hanging with Little Buddy while Daddy and Little Sweetie ride Raptor!


     

She was tall enough for Raptor!  Finally!



Sibling hugs!


Best part of the trip??? Aunt D, Uncle C, and J drove up from Cincinnati to join us!  Now both Little Sweetie and J were tall enough for all the rides!


     




    



So great to all be together again!






     




One of the best parts is that Uncle C and Aunt D don't do roller coasters, so they spent quality time with Little Buddy while we took Little Sweetie and J on every coaster they wanted!


Such a great family trip!


     

Little Buddy also got to enjoy several rides!




The Halloween decor and festivities were AWESOME!


Day 2 found us in coordinating Halloween shirts and having more fun!


Ready to ride Iron Dragon!


     


Taking on Rougarou!



Hysterical! Love that these two always have a great time whenever they are together.


     


Best time together!








     


Besides thrill rides, we enjoyed the classics like the carousel and the old timey cars. 



     

     


But the thrills won out for Little Sweetie, who fulfilled her goal of riding EVERY roller coaster; even the ones which kind of scared her coaster-loving Momma!




Best godparents EVER!

This trip was everything and I am so glad we did it!  It was crazy flying two weekends in a row with this and the DC trip, but it was worth every moment and every penny.  Happy Birthday Little Sweetie!

Until next time!
