Softball got mercied this week, 13-2. Based on how well we can actually play, that may be more like how the season goes. Natalie's choir went to Cedar Point this weekend. It's lucky that she was able to go at all, since she had gotten herself suspended for a day on Thursday, for threatening to fight another girl over social media. I wasn't really sure how much to be angry about it after hearing why she did it; the other girl deserved it. Really. Anyway, she spent Thursday at home without her phone or Kindle, but she went back to school Friday and we did go. Some of her teachers had expressed concern about a panic attack at the park and maybe someone should go with her, so I did. The bus left town at around 5:30 am. The school paid for my ticket, which was very nice. She wanted to ride the bus so I drove separately (somewhere in northern Ohio, I looked up and noticed that the bus wasn't in front of me anywhere anymore, so I used to GPS to get there on some back roads and still beat them there) and we got there by opening. I went around with her and 4 of her friends for a couple hours (2 of her friends did the bungie slingshot thing and one of them passed out 4 times during it) until she told me "you can go ride the rides by yourself if you want to" which I took to mean she was ready for me to be away from her. The Lancasters also happened to be there that day, so I met up with them and we went around together for a while. After lunch we were at the Gatekeeper when the rain started. It had been sprinkling while we were in line, but just after we got into the shelter at the head of the line the downpour started and it rained HARD for about half an hour. At first they were still running the ride and people were coming back drenched...I didn't really want to ride it in the rain...but just 2 people in front of us they shut it down. Unfortunately for some, the last train back had to wait outside while the attendants got everyone unbuckled, which took several minutes, strapped in, in the pouring rain. But we were in the shelter and never got wet. After about 45 minutes they started running it again and we rode it dry. Then we got in line for another coaster but after waiting an hour or so I got a phone call that Nat was having a panic attack. The ride where they drop you straight down, plus her friend screaming, had sent her over the edge. By the time I got to her there was a medic there but she was still crying really hard. She managed to calm down a bit after a while and we went to the aid station, where it was cool and dry and dark and quiet (nobody else there) and she fell asleep for about 45 minutes. The medic didn't let her friends into the aid station which was good also. She was better after that, and she wanted to get some frozen yogurt. So we did. While we did that she complained about how her friends had been driving her crazy all day and they weren't listening to her. She wanted to ride the wooden coasters but nobody would. One of her friends had her shoes so we had to get a hold of them and meet back up, but afterwards I tried to make sure Nat was in charge. We rode the Genini and the Mine ride, and were going to ride Gatekeeper, but ran out of time. The bus left at 7, and we stopped at a rest area for dinner, at which point Nat decided she didn't want to ride the bus any more so I drove us home. We got home around midnight or so, and in the morning overslept and missed church (Beth and Alex went without me and the girls).
