Trip to Cedar Point



Here we are packing and getting ready to leave!






Off to Cedar Point, Ohio, to visit the Kirtland Temple and have some fun at the Cedar Point amusement park!

Grandma Blackford, Uncle Zac, and Aunt Beatrice

Alida's first rib-


Here we are roaming the airport, trying to get all that energy out before the flight!

very cool window at the Houston airport:




Kirtland, Ohio!


Our private tour of the temple, from basement to bell-tower, we saw it all!





These are the ORIGINAL olive green front doors:

the view from the bell-tower:







The Newel K. Whitney store in Kirtland- this is where Joseph and Emma pulled up and met the Whitney's for the first time: (SO COOL!!)

At Cedar Point!! A very hot day..



Alida has just recently learned to push around her own stroller, so nice to have that extra help-


Travis, Beatrice, and Zac

Here is a pic of Travis and I on Top Thrill Dragster, the coolest ride at the park!! 0-122 miles per hour in 4 seconds, and straight up to 450 feet!



Alida's first 'roller coaster'



Someone in the following picture is SOOOOO tired...

I'm so jealous that you got to go to Cedar Point! It is the coolest amusement park ever! It just puts Lagoon to shame. Did you go on the Top Trill Dragster too?

So much fun! The one roller coaster ride looks scary!!
I used to love roller coasters-remember going to Elitches? But now I get sick on them :( and thus get nervous...don't know why.

I love seeing pictures of Alida when she walks and stands, she looks so cute! Her stance looks like she's thinking: "Yeah, so what next?" She's adorably confident! What did she think of the airplane?

Alida is such a doll! I can't get enough of her little pictures. She definitely has your eyes! Can you just hurry up and have a mini Alida so that can be Jack's girlfriend? And don't forget to pass on the short jeans :)
