Cedar Point 2013

In May we went to Cedar Point.  We had tickets that allowed us to get in an hour earlier than most, so we got on the new ride knowing there would be a long line later. It was smooth!!



She took her rides seriously.





Colin took Victoria on several of the kiddie rides.

It turned out to be super-hot that day! Lemonade!!

The Kite That Wouldn't and the Kite That Would

Kites have come a long way since Ben Franklin. You can get all sorts of shapes and styles. We had a coupon and were excited to get this dragon kite. With our property and the usual windiness that we have here, flying a kite should be a breeze. Ahem.


The frog is wondering why anyone would want to fly.
The dragon kite wouldn't fly. He would rather sit on a hoard of gold, so we returned him to his slothful lair and bought what I call a "Ben Franklin" kite. A simple diamond shape.
Guess what? It flew! Oh, wait. That's an airplane.

It flew!

Victoria was reading her Madeline books by lantern in her nightgown. Rainy days make great book-reading opportunities!
