Fried !

Since Cindy has to work every other weekend this summer and every weekend come September ( she is dropping to weekends only for school ) and for now, her off weekends always seem to be rainy, We decided that Mike would take a vacation day yesterday and we would visit Cedar Point's Soak city. Though we have been to Cedar Point many many times this park has always been a secondary on our season passes and not included Soak City. Because of this and the fact that Geauga Lake had a perfectly good water park quite a bit closer to home, we have never visited Soak City. This year however, since Geauga Lake has closed the amusement park side of the park leaving only the water park open , we bought our Cedar Fair passes at Cedar point and got Soak city access.

I must say that i am impressed with Soak city. Usually I take a lap or two on the lazy river and then find a beach chair to relax in while Mike and the kids enjoy water slides.I am one of those odd people who don't find treated water up my nose and in my eyes a desirable thing. Yesterday however, I rode not one but two lazy rivers. One normal and one complete with waves and many other things.Eight hours into the park I was totally exhausted. We all had a great time but unfortunately, the ninety degree sunshine took it's tole on the entire fair skinned family. We all ended up sunburned. At Midnight last night when we got home, Mike asked if I had any solocaine. of course I didn't but Walgreen's is just around the corner and always open.Besides, I was out of anti swimmer's ear drops myself so off we went. Mike and I had to look pretty comical walking in to Walgreen's him in shorts and a T shirt with his sunburned face showing and me in shorts and my tankini top with my bright red shoulders, face and arms showing buying aloe vera gel, solicaine sunburn spray, and swimmers ear solution.The lady at the counter gave her sympathy as we paid and hurried home. Once here the whole family sprayed down with solocain, applied some aloe gel, and swimmers ear drops and headed to bed.We may all look like lobsters but what a time we had !
