Rollercoasters and Races.

*Edit* Two weeks after this was posted I just noticed that I misspelled the title of the post. Now it's corrected. I know you were worried. *End Edit*

Quick pictures from my trip to Cedar Point with my mom and sister, as well as a few pictures from The Color Run!

Cedar Point is in Sandusky, Ohio and it located on a tiny peninsula that juts into Lake Erie. It's often called one of the best rollercoaster parks in the world, and I think my sister and I agree. It's become a bit of a tradition that the three of us doing something exhilarating for a weekend during the summer, and typically the men come too. The men = Husband and Melissa's fiance Lu.

Last year we all went to Six Flags in Atlanta and then white water rafting.


Anyways, since the boys don't particularly care for rollercoasters, the girls decided to go alone. Granted my mom doesn't like coasters either, so she prefers to go to the parks, and use the time to sit and tan. Seriously.

Then we went to the lake to dip our toes in (the water was colder than we anticipated considering it was August)-







Then at the airport, I got bored and mom because my canvas for art-


Then we had go home and resume normal life.

But then this past Saturday, Husband and I ran (Walked? Jogged?) The Color Run! Keeping with traditions, it stormed for the entire drive down to Leeds, AL. Then it rained the entire time through the run (OK, that's a lie. There was about 5 minutes when it did not rain. But then it rained again).


Last dry picture!


People were so excited that they were already throwing their color
pouches.. which were supposed to be saved until the end of the race
at the Color Party. So this was taken before we even crossed the
Starting Line.. and he (and I, below) are already colored.



Husband was so easy-going. He's not exactly the type of person who
enjoys going for a run in the rain, to get soaked and have colored
powder thrown at you every kilometer, but he did it for me, knowing
how much I love being exactly that type of person. And he let me take 
his picture after each color zone :)










Notice the skin-colored stripe across his forehead where
his headband was during the race.




The change from uncovered and colored to fully
covered and uncolored skin is astonishing.


In addition to all the pictures and explanations of the pictures, please notice the fanny pack has reappeared. I'm bringing it back, one event at a time. You'll see.
