Visiting the Kirtland Temple.
Grandma & Grandpa giving us a tour at the Newel K. Whitney store.
At the Johnson Farm. (One of our favorite spots)
On Friday we went to Cedar Point (an amazing amusement park). It was only about an hours drive west of Kirtland. We were there from 10 am to 10 pm. The kids (and Jim/Me) had an GREAT time. If you like wild, scary roller coasters then this is the place to go! It's known as the roller coaster capital of the country and it truly lives up to its name. The girls went on everything and James wishes he could have gone on all the coasters - but he did enjoy LOTS of kiddie rides! :)

This ride was a heart stopper. Jim and I both loved this ride (the girls decided not to ride this one....I nearly chickened out, but I'm glad I went....amazing!)
Top Thrill Dragster is a behemoth, standing 420 feet above the Cedar Point midways. It opened as the tallest and fastest coaster in the world back in 2003. A hydraulic cable launch system - launches riders from 0-120 mph in less than four seconds.
This coaster is definitely a winner. Emi and Clara both rode on this one! Millennium Force is the park's star attraction, standing 310 feet above the Earth. It broke 10 world records when it opened in 2000 and continues to deliver ultimate thrills to those who challenge it. Dive to the ground at an 85-degree angle and reach speeds of 93 mph during your two-minute journey. (I can't figure out why I can't get this pic to display in a larger size...oh well)
Pint size roller coaster for James!
Mom and Clara in the front!
At the end of a great day!
The next day, we headed to Niagra Falls. It was a beautiful day and kids were amazed by the huge falls!
Oh how fun!! We are actually headed to Kirtland in a week and then on to Niagara Falls and then to Palmyra and the pageant. Your pictures made us even more excited. What a cute family you have! =)
ReplyDeleteThat looked like an awesome trip. I'm impressed you went on all those roller coasters Sarah.
