Cedar Point

Yesterday, the young people in our congregation had our every other month outing.  This months' was our annual trip to Cedar Point which I always really enjoy. 

I do not like to ride roller coasters; however, there are plenty of other rides to enjoy.  I like Cedar Downs (the race horses), Super Himalayan, and the Scrambler the best.  I tried three new rides for me this time - Ocean Motion, Matterhorn, and Thunder Canyon (a water ride).  I liked Thunder Canyon the best.  I had never been on a water ride before, and it was so much fun!  Nicole and I rode side by side in the large raft which seats 10 people, and we both came away soaked!  Thankfully, Joseph had suggested to us girls to take changes of clothing which we all needed after the water rides!  :) 

We even took some time out to go walk on the beach (Cedar Point is right on Lake Erie.) which was very relaxing.  For supper, we ate at the buffet restaurant which was very nice.  It was all you can eat and cost the same as the other restaurants in the park which made it a good deal. We were all able to try various foods and get what we liked.  After making it back home around midnight, there were some very happy yet tired campers in our congregation! 

I'll post a few pictures on my Facebook tomorrow and put a link up to them in my next post. 

Speaking of more posts, here are some upcoming topics I'll be blogging on:
Camp Yeshua, Part 3 - theme nights, girl's purity session, and women's swim.
Chicago Restoration Conference and Trip
Moving Gaga aka Grandfather Update
Plus some on the farm, bakery, family, congregation etc... 

So talk to you again soon!
