Cedar Point already opening

Back in December we , as pass holders, were informed that Cedar Point would open May tenth.In December this seemed so long away that ,though we put it on the calendar, we sort of forgot about it. Cindy happened on this date when she was asking for dates off for prom, graduation, and other days that she will need to be off work. Since Mike works many Saturday's Cindy asked for Sunday the eleventh off. At the time we didn't realize that it was Mother's day and that she probably would have to work since she has very little seniority. It turns out that Cindy did get off Sunday but has to work Saturday which Mike ended up getting off. We planned on spending Sunday, Mother's Day, at Cedar point but plans got changed when we found out that Sunday's eleven O'clock mass was the mass where the parish honors the upcoming graduates. The Graduates were also invited to have breakfast at the rectory with Father and Carol, our director of religious ed. Cindy thought about just telling everyone that she had plans already and our family attending Saturday's evening mass instead, leaving Sunday open for the park. After Mike and I discussed this we decided that we had all summer to Go to Cedar Point but only one day for Cindy to be recognized at church as a graduate. We thought of leaving straight from church for Cedar point but by the time we drove there and the park closes at seven,we would have only had a little over three hours to get our passes processed and ride a ride or two. With gas prices at about three sixty five now this seems like a waste.Since the only day the kids missed this year ( besides Cindy's trips to competition, work in service days and other days that the school does not count against her as she is in a work study program)was My Grandmother's funeral,we are considering letting the kids skip school one day next week, Mike taking a vacation day and going then. Doing this should allow us shorter lines for both pass processing and rides. The only problem is that we have to pick a day that Cindy is off that it isn't supposed to rain. God willing it will all work out.
