Coaster Question

David is on his way to Cedar Point! His youth pastor called yesterday to give him the opportunity to join the group, as they needed one more student to get the group rate.

Because he doesn't really LIKE amusement park rides, David hadn't signed up for the trip when it first was announced. So, I wasn't sure he would be interested. However, he took the opportunity and he's on his way!

We spent some time last night on Cedar Point's website, as they have video for each rollercoaster, so you can see what riding it is like! Wheeee!

Stay tuned for the report - will he ride a rollercoaster? (I would! I would!)

Going to the Fair

We went to the local 4H fair yesterday. We didn't really look at animals though. After a slow start, James and Suzy discovered they LOVE the rides! LOL Emily thought she didn't want to ride anything until almost time to go, and then she was persuaded to ride a few - and loved them! David was very choosy about his rides.

I bought cotton candy and pop there - the prices just freak me out every time, so I didn't buy anything else.

We hung out with several of our homeschool friends - that was fun! I saw lots of people I knew too. We were there for about 5 hours and came home tired and hungry and THIRSTY.

I figured out how to take snaps from the videos I take with the Flip Video camera, which is good since my digital camera died over the weekend. So, here are some photos from the fair.

That's David and a friend in the 3rd car in the above shot. David is wearing a black shirt (and his new glasses!).

Here's Emily on the carousel - one of the first rides she attempted. She is wearing a tie-dye shirt.

This is Emily on the elephant ride. She was trying to take Suzy on the ride, but they wouldn't let Suzy ride without an adult.

And here is Emily on the Sizzler! I was actually very amazed she rode this. Her friends rode with her. She enjoyed it!

James on the bumper cars.

More photos in the post below this one. I apparently can only post 5 at a time.
