Today the boys went to an Ohio rite of passage--Cedar Point. They were very good considering we started out at the park at about 11:00 am and as we exited it was nearly 9:00 pm. Cookie was incensed because although Cedar Point is the roller coaster capital (I counted 8), they only had 2 coasters for those of Cookie's height and one of them I had to ride with him. Cookie has decided that he will write Cedar Point about this grave injustice. Mojo wants to add his name in case they send back something interesting in response. (Mind you Mojo is terrified of coasters and wouldnt go on one).

The hi-light of the day was the extreme diving show. The boys were enthralled. The grand finale had a guy diving into 10 feet of water backwards from 60 feet and another guy diving in from 80 feet. Afterwards Cookie got to meet the divers and was thrilled.

Cedar Point is kinda fascinating because they bring in kids from all of this country and other countries to work. There were may kids from the Czech Republic, Poland and Russia. It is amazingly clean for such a huge place.

Not many other interesting activities to report from here. We went to the Strongsville Homecoming parade which the boys call the candy parade because almost every one in it tosses candy. Its kinda like trick or treating except the candy comes to you.

We also went to a Renaissance Fair. It was pirate weekend and some pirates approached Mojo and Cookie and said they were going to come to the house at midnight to get them to be the pirates' cooks on their ship. This had Mojo and Cookie worried for quite some time. They kept asking me if they would really show. Then Mojo decided that they were not real pirates because the pirates had nice teeth and everyone knows pirates have nasty rotted teeth.

All and all it has been a fun visit to Camp Grandma and Grandpa in Ohio. We leave in a few days to return to the lovely state of New York.
