Cedar Point, 2013

Before I get started with our Cedar Point photos, I have to share this funny, albeit gross, story from a couple of days ago. Our readers with kids know that the volume of poop that ends up in the potty after young kids are through can be truly magnificent. Jeff Foxworthy does a funny routine about looking in the toilet after his daughter finished and saying, "That is not humanly possible! Hey, Honey, come see this!"

Lydia had one of those over the weekend. She usually takes a good 40 minutes to poop, and she didn't disappoint. Jenn had helped Henry with his most recent poop, so it fell to me to address this one. I took one look and said, "Jenn, this is colossal." She "ho, hummed," thinking I was exaggerating, and then Henry came over, looked in the potty, and said, "Two poops!"
"Wellllll, it looks like two poops," I said…

Now, on to more pleasant things. Lincoln spent Saturday afternoon through Tuesday evening with Grandma Laura, Grandpa Dave, Auntie Haley and Chris in Columbus. They visited the zoo & COSI, played golf in the back yard, went on long bike rides, visited Auntie Haley at work with a dinner at Outback and spent a few minutes where Chris works in take-out, and had a general, all-around good time. The fun culminated with a trip to Cedar Point on Wednesday where Lincoln was a hardy partier.
Jenn and I were more than appreciative of the time we had to ride a few rides while Auntie Haley & Chris kept up with Lincoln in Camp Snoopy over lunch. Grandma Laura took him on a bunch of rides, too, and Grandpa Dave made a return trip to the Dodgems with Lincoln. Lincoln's job, apparently, was to point out the targets, and Grandpa Dave would line 'em up and bump 'em.

Today after work I had Lydia and Henry to myself. They napped a good bit, and after we went to pick up Jenn's watch, er, time piece, at Jared's, I thought I'd swing by Chik-Fil-A for dinner. I don't need a good reason to go to Chik-Fil-A as their food tastes awesome, but today was an unofficial "appreciation" day for all of the crap they've been taking from the people who have a problem with an owner of a private company expressing his personal views in response to a question from a television reporter. Well, it would have taken us at least an hour to even order. The drive-thru line at the Chapel Hill wound out into the road between the restaurants and the plaza shops while the line to get into the store was out the door and extended to the back of the parking lot. If these big city mayors and special interest kingpins with big megaphones want to stir the pot, they'd do well to know that there is a legion of folks out there who are just fine with either (a) Dan Cathy's position, or (b) a private citizen holding an opinion while also making darn good sandwiches in the process.

So I'll just have to register my anti-boycott wallet-vote on another day.

Dang. I nearly got on one of my soapboxes there! Back to family stuff.
I had L & H today because Jenn and Lincoln went to Cedar Point with the Parkinsons! I received a number of texts throughout the day from Jenn saying Lincoln was having a blast. He's not yet tall enough to ride the big coasters, but that didn't seem to be a problem in the least.The boy is tired.
