Birthday Back-Up: Part 2

 Cedar Point was a day of miracles!

First of all, when we left the house it was raining and cloudy -

in fact, it was like that all the way to Sandusky.

At one point, we pulled off at a gas station

to decide if we were going to continue or turn around.

We decided to go for it and the closer we got to the park

the better the weather got.

By the time we got there, it was only misting and within the first hour the 

rain stopped altogether.  A miracle!!

(Ian wearing his birthday shirt I made for him)

Another miracle was that we found Mario's phone after it

flew out of his pocket on the Millenium Force -
a roller coaster that has a 300 ft. drop AND goes up to 93 mph.
(And he didn't think it would fall out of his shirt pocket 
with a little button holding it closed.  Sheesh!!)

We all thought it was gone but a few hours later, as we were riding along

on the train, Scott happened to look down and there it was right

on the side of the railroad track.

When we got to the train station, one of the workers walked back to where we had seen it

and, sure enough, it was Mario's phone!

We could NOT believe it!

Of all places to fall AND for Scott to look on the ground the moment we passed it by.

AND it wasn't broken at all.  It still worked!

It could have fallen in a million different places but there it was!

A miracle!!

I wish I would have taken more pictures -

one of our whole group would have been nice.

It was such a fun day spent with family
and it was just what Ian wanted to do.  :)
