Cedar Point

Bill booked a 3 day trip to stay at Cedar Point at the end of Lake Week. We had not been in 15+ years and this was the kids' first visit. We are always telling the kids that Valley Fair is a mini version of Cedar Point. 

We had great weather for 2 days at the park and 1 day at the water park. The cabin we stayed in was convenient with early access. 

Sydney took on the roller coasters after we started with Iron Dragon and moved up from there. Her favorite may be Maverick. 

Colin and Bill loved the speed of the Millennium Force and the thrill of Steel Vengeance. 

Zonked out on their sofa beds.

Hot dogs in a stick with CP fries - Yum!

The kids enjoyed the Racing Derby Carousel as much as we did.

In line for the Gemini with Cousin Zoe and Sam (with a photo bomb).

They were there for the day.

Everything "CP"

Saying a prayer? 

Syd preferred the Valley Fair North Star swings to these fixed swings. 

Lake Week 2023

Colin and Sydney are always so excited for Lake Week. 

It felt like we doubled the number of people with so many little cousins running amok.

Family Reunion

The biennial Sroka family reunion was in MN hosted by Nana Sheila and Aunt Anita.

Lots of fun seeing that side of the family with great weather for pool time and Hammer Schlagen. 

The MN families were there with the Ohio group of John and Kathy, Paul and Zach, and Christine and Ian.
