We had a great time on our mini vacation! This was the first time Dustin has ever taken off more than one day of work. The kids and I really enjoyed having him to ourselves for a few days!
Anyway, we went to Cedar Point first, not really having a plan. Dustin and I have not been to Cedar Point since high school, and this was the first time for the kids.
Emma was able to ride some of the 'big' rides. She is right at 48 inches tall so Dustin and I took turns riding with her.
Allison, however, was just shy of 46 inches, which means no 'big' rides. There is a huge difference between 46 and 48 inches when it comes to rides. We know better next time we go, and hopefully Allison will grow a couple more inches! :)
Asher enjoyed himself in the Camp Snoopy area. There were quite a few rides he could go on with the girls. Cedar Point also has a Kiddy Kingdom. It is similar to rides you would find at a county fair. He was able to ride all the attractions there.
Cedar Point also has a new attraction this year. It is Dinosaurs Alive and the kids loved it! The dinosaurs moved and made sounds. Some were much more frightening than others, but it was still a good time.
I was only able to take pictures of the kids from the Camp Snoopy and Dinosaurs Alive attractions.

After Cedar Point, we stayed at the Castaway Bay. This was much more enjoyable for all the kids, because really, what kid doesn't want to stay in an 80 degree environment with unlimited swim time?!
These kiddos swam and swam for hours!! I was really surprised at the bravery of these little girls! They went on the water ride and slides all by themselves!
I couldn't believe what I was seeing!
Unfortunately, I didn't capture any of these moments. I was too busy chasing a two year old in the toddler tide pool....for hours! These are the few pics I was able to get.

This is where you go to get on all the slides and rides. By the bucket, on top of the red roof, is where the biggest raft ride was. The girls went down that ride ALONE! Still in shock over here!!
We really had a great time. It was nice to get away as a family and have fun together.
It was SO much fun, the girls are now asking when we can go back and stay longer.
Maybe we should have planned this trip for the end of summer.
I have a feeling I will be hearing this alot.
