As Jane's actual birthday approached the family was honoring their usual tradition. The birthday child gets to decide where to spend their birthday. In years past, places like Chuck E. Cheese and skyzone were frequented. This year, knowing that they had season passes to Cedar Point (it was a Christmas gift in 2014), Jane chose to spend her special day with the family at Cedar Point. They had already gone a month earlier with her friend (they went early since the park would be decorated for Halloween on her birthday and in case her friend's family was not ok with that they went before prime decorating happened) but she wanted to spend the time with her family at the park. They got there in the dark and Dad was not happy. Apparently, from the sounds of things, backing the camper in a spot in the dark is not easy! He was able to do it but it took longer than he likes. No one made a big deal about setting up the camper this time. I am not sure I even got to emerge from storage on this trip. They plugged in power but did not bother hooking up sewer and water. The whole point of these nights at East Harbor State Park were a "cheap hotel" as mom calls it. A way to be closer to Cedar Point to get there near opening hours and a safe place to drive when it closes late rather than driving all the way home.
The morning of Jane's birthday they all got up and headed to the Point. They spent the entire day there. They must have had fun because they came home late and went straight to bed again. When they got up in the morning they packed up and headed home. Another short trip but they seem to be having a great time together. Aidan did NOT like the fact that this trip did not include any playground time or board games or other "family" things. Dad reassured him the next trip would be different and this one was just a birthday celebration. Wait, did Dad say, "next trip"?? It is almost October and these people are not done yet! I wonder where they will take me next...
