Sandusky Oh

For the last couple of Memorial days we go to Hershey Amusement park so we knew we had to hit one up this Memorial day too.

most of the big roller coaster here were the highest or fastest in the country when they first came out.



















I did not like this ride, the whole ride went around and then each car (balloon) would spin. Siena loved it, Ben did not he would grab my hand and say too big.





of course it's pink.






these were the coolest things, they had a little timed motor that went for a couple minutes. It basically caused the kids to drive in circles but they loved it.










Do you know what is famous in Sandusky Ohio? First, Tommy Boy the movie was based there and one of the best amusement parks in the country is there. So we drove an hour from Cleveland to Sandusky and stayed in this awesome hotel. It's a hotel with a waterpark in it. So we went there after the game and went to the water park then we went to the amusement park the next day. The kids were so worn out by the water park they fell asleep in 5 minutes. The best thing about staying in this hotel was we got early admission to the amusement park. We got to go an hour early and rode all the big rollercoaster rides before the lines. It was a perfect day. We went on a Thursday so it wasn't crowded at all. It did get really hot and sticky but the kids lasted all day! I think the most we waited for a roller coaster was 30 minutes. Our kids aren't going to know what to do if we ever go to an amusement park and they have to wait in line, they walked on all the rides and could stay on them for multiple times if they wanted. Our kids enjoyed the rides, they did not like the Snoopy characters but that was no surprise for us. Dave joined us in Snoopy land and rode the little kid rides with us and then he felt sick because most of the kid rides just go in circles. Siena was really brave and rode 2 kid rollercoasters! Ben kept telling me the rides were too big. He is so funny about things. Sometimes he is so wimpy. I wish I had put Siena in tennis shoes that made her a little taller because she was an inch short of riding some fun rides. We all rode the big ferris wheel that over looked the whole amusement park and out on to Lake Erie. The park was surrounded by the Lake it was very pretty. I love amusement parks and we had so much fun.










this was the best ride. Siena thought it was so fun. Later in the day the ride was all full of kids and they all rode it together again and again, they were all girls so they were all squeeling through the whole ride, it was so cute.





I didn't know if Siena would like this, she kept riding it, she loved it.

We're sad we missed this part of the trip! Maybe next year. Or maybe we should've watched the kids so the guys could go... ha! :)
