A field trip to Cedar Point Amusement Park

Chris writes:
"Recently I went on a field trip with my school band to Cedar Point. We were supposed to perform, too, but one of the buses crashed, so we didn't have time."

(Yes, that's right, one of nine chartered buses taking Heritage Middle School band, orchestra and choir members to the amusement park drove off the side of a road and into a ditch. Fortunately no one was seriously hurt, and the students were placed on other buses to continue the trip. Chris was not on the bus involved in the accident. The driver was charged with being drunk and unlicensed, causing a local scandal.)

Chris' mom and sister Stephanie drove to the park separately and met Chris there. "Even though we arrived later than expected, we rode some rides, visited some shops & walked around a lot while we were there," Chris writes.

"The weather was cold and wet in the morning, but the rain let up in the afternoon. My favorite part was getting to eat Dippin' Dots.

"Hopefully we can return again next year and do even more."
