"I paid all that money and you want to swim???!"

OK so yesterday we took a family trip to Cedar Point (you know, America's Roller Coast...ummm we're on a lake ok?!). Anyhoo, we spent the night at the Breakers (very fun but a tad expensive for a regular hotel room that smelled like burgers from the Friday's downstairs), the only hotel right at the park. Of course I got up early and rode the big coasters by myself because anyone staying at the park gets in 1 hour earlier than the general public. I knew the hubby and kids would want no part of that nor standing around waiting for me.
Can I just say...the Dragster rocked!!!
Moving on...the hubby got the kids up, dressed and fed and met me at the park.
My 5 year old boy wanted to ride the "kiddy" rides and wanted nothing to do with the scarier rides (he is a little soft and sensitive, so what?!). My little 3 year old girl wanted to ride all the major coasters and got mad when she couldn't. She wasn't even tall enough to ride any of the slightly fun kid rides either.
After 2.5 hours all they wanted to do was go back to the beach and play.
I kept thinking "I paid all this money and you want to leave?" but then I thought I sounded too much like my mother so we left and made sandcastles at the beach for the rest of the day. Maybe next time we'll skip the park all together, who needs those dumb rides anyway. All they do is make you want to throw up all the funnel cake, cheesy fries, pizza and frozen chocolate-covered bananas that you just ate.
