Our last (and coldest) trip of the season to Cedar Point...
All summer I had avoided the dreaded Ferris Wheel - the slowest ride and (more importantly) the slowest line in the park. "But Mom! We haven't ridden it all year!" So, in 40 mph winds, we circled three SLOW times -- stopping at the top -- in the even-stronger and colder winds without proper clothing -- to load the opposite cars. It was miserable -- can't you tell from the looks on their faces!?! They LOVED it! They had time - at the top - to study every buoy, island, marina, bird...grain of sand...on Lake Erie! I, on the other hand, could not wait to get off! Next year, I will bite the bullet and surrender to our one-time-a-year ride on a warm day, light breeze!
The park is full of Halloween decor and characters -- and at 4pm -- The Snoopy Halloween Parade down the main strip! They were in awe...
My personal favorite was the wheelchair pumpkins. Very neat!
And then...back in Bay Village...

Mrs. Glinka's 1st grade class A priceless moment...Superman prepping King Daniel for the Normandy Elementary Costume Parade...
Packed up and heading home for Trick or Treat...Daniel and his classmate Tommy...
King Daniel, "Saint Jamie" & Jonathan as Thomas (again!) ready to trick-or-treat with the Sooy Family! 
Tommy refused a plethora of costume choices -- from monkey to fire fighter. He also refuses coats, jackets, sweatshirts, socks and covers. (Can you say "Philsey?") I think we better move south!
The first stop -- our neighbor Miss Alice. She had two baskets -- candy and "stuff". Daniel chose chocolate - Jonathan chose a travel-size Purell. ???? Don't ask!

Jonathan the wise: stuff lasts longer than candy! Love King Daniel's no fuss costume! Long live the King! Great pictures, Molly. You're a super mom to get on the Wheel in such chilly climes.
Yes, Purell. Just what ever safety-conscious mother of toddlers, etc. wants in the bag of candy! So far, no calls to Poison Control. Number ready though! =0)
