Summer Fun Part 1: Cedar Point

It's August and I'm just now getting around to posting about our summer activities we've conquered.

Part 1: Cedar Point!

In June we took the boys to Cedar Point. It was their first time there and a beautiful day to go. Knowing our boys are ages 5 and 2, we knew our day would be spent primarily on rides catered to that age group. We all had a great time and even Brock managed to make it until 4-5pm before finally being too tired to go on. The boys loved the car rides, the antique cars, and the train ride to name a few. Seth went on his first roller coaster, the Jr. Gemini!

We packed a picnic lunch and of course splurged on some amusement park treats : soft pretzel, cotton candy, and cookies.

Was a fun-filled day and the boys looked like this just minutes from leaving the park:

Just for s & g's...

So, I'm saving for a bigger car. Don't get me wrong, my current car has been completely dependable the almost 9 years I've had it. But, our family fills it up. It would be nice to have a couple extra seats for when we have extra people with us.

I keep saving. I know we will buy a used car and pay cash for it. We are hardcore don't-go-into-debt-for-anything-but-a-house kind of people. This is a lesson in patience having to diligently save and wait, then save and wait some more. I have a goal in mind (and will likely have to increase that amount to get what I want) and recently hit the half-way point in my saving.

So, just for fun, I looked to see what kind of cars could I buy with the money I have saved right now. Ready?

2002 Jaguar: This says my husband is in the mob. Don't ask why my kids are in hand-me-downs.

2000 Lexus: It's beige. That is all.

2004 Eclipse: Woo-hoo! Kids will just love going on rides with mom. We all know carseats look killer in convertibles.

1986 Camaro: This pretty much assures me that no one will mess with me or my kids. We're too bad ass.
I wonder if a tape of Def Leppard comes with it?
