Magnum, Mantis and Maverick... Oh My!

Those were just some of the rides I went on when I had a last minute opportunity to head to Cedar Point this past Monday with my sisters work.

Dan, Stephanie, Deidre, Abby, Samantha and Dennis...

(I chickened out and am not afraid to admit it!)...

And there they go...

Their boss was gracious and covered all of our expenses (minus food) even though she hates roller coasters and knew she wouldn't be going on a single ride. She did it all for her employees enjoyment -- such a great lady! And although we did have to take cover twice from storms that came through, it turned out to be a perfect day and we were able to get on all the rides we wanted to without waiting too long in lines (the longest wait time we had was 1 hour!). I can't wait until my little ones are old enough so I can take them there and we can ride the coasters together!
