Cedar Point Trip

Ok, so I'm a little behind. Last month, the NaylorNutHouse hit the road and returned to Cedar Point. It was Adam's first trip to the roller coaster capital of the world! We stayed at the Lighthouse Point cabins with Grandma and Grandpa Naylor. This made life easy for us, since both boys are still on a nap schedule (granted, Matthew missed a few, but we managed). This also allowed us to cook out each night too. This time around, we decided to go in June with the hope of avoiding the extreme heat. However, it was the exact opposite. It was on the cool side all week. Perfect for the park, not so perfect for Soak City. But we made it work.

This was also Matthew's first experience RIDING roller coasters. He only watched them on our last trip two years ago. Then, Auntie Kelly bought him a DVD on all the Cedar Point coasters, which we watched hundreds of times on TV! So he was pumped for this trip to actually ride one! This was his reaction when we got there:

The rest of the trip was a blast. Matthew indeed rode his first roller coaster. He loved the Jr. Gemini!! He also tried the Woodstock Express, but it was a little too scary for him. He managed to ride it a couple of times on our first day in the park. After that, he wouldn't go back on it. I think Adam had fun too, even though he was too little to ride the rides. I think he enjoyed walking around the park and taking it all in.

Mom, Dad, Grandma and Grandpa also had a great time. We all took turns going into the park to ride the big ones. Grandma overcame her fear of the Millennium Force (or "Forest" as Matthew calls it). Next time, we're going to get her on Top Thrill Dragster.

We also experienced our first mayfly infestation!! The insects come out of Lake Erie in June each year and cover everything!!! They are kinda creepy, but less annoying than cicadas.
