If you’re a regular around here or on my Facebook page, you know that I’m a little obsessed in love with all things Cedar Point.  My family and I get season passes each year (read why I think Cedar Point Platinum passes are a great value) and practically spend 6 months a year out there.  From spring to fall, Cedar Point has so much to offer!

Along with the cooler temps, Halloweekends have arrived.  Halloweekends at Cedar Point has just the right mix of spooky thrills for those who dare and pint sized fun for the little ones.  Each weekend through October 27th you spend the whole day creating memories, in fact there is so much to see and do you may want to stay for the weekend.

Last weekend we were able to visit Cedar Point three days in a row as I was there for a Blogging Conference.  It was so nice to spend the day or evening in the park without having to drive home.  It was my first stay at the Hotel Breakers and boy did I have a gorgeous view to wake up to each morning.  I love how the Hotel was decked out in Halloween decorations.  Cedar Point never holds back!

If you are looking at extended your stay, I’d highly suggest one of the Cedar Point resorts.  If you stay at any of their properties you’ll get a few perks, including early entry into the park, discounted tickets, free parking, and courtesy shuttle service.  We loved the convenience of having two nearby entrances into the park as well as the option to be shuttled to the front of the park also.  Hotel Breakers is right in the middle of the park and close to everything.

Our little ones remember Cedar Point Halloweekends vividly from previous years and couldn’t wait to head over to the Howl-O-Palooza area on Friday night.  They couldn’t decide whether to go to the hay maze or Magical House on Boo Hill first – tough decision.  The Magical House on Boo Hill is a family friendly walk-though house with many decorations to see.  There are no worries of things jumping out at you and your kids being frightened, even my three year old loves it.  At the end of your walk the young children will receive a small bag of candy.  The hay maze looks slightly different this year but still tons of fun.  I seriously lost count how many times they went through.  I appreciate that this activity is something we can do with our boys or something they can do on their own while we sit down and chat.

While there, we were also able to check out the new area called Trick or Treat with the Dinosaurs.  For a small fee of $5 your children can see more than 50 life-sized dinosaurs, snag some candy or small toys, participate in crafts and more.  We really enjoyed this area and I loved that the kiddos were able to snag a couple non-candy treats also.  Checking out the dinosaur’s different Halloween outfits made us laugh and we all loved picking out our favorites.  Read more about our first trip to Dinosaurs Alive at Cedar Point.

On Sunday my in-laws were able to come up to the park.  Since this was their first visit in over 20 years there was a lot to see.  They were amazed by how much the park has changed over the years but were happy to still see their old favorites such as the Mine Ride, the train, and Cadillac Cars.  That’s one of the best things I love about Cedar Point. there is FUN for everyone of any age!

The Glass Castle: A Memoir by Jeanette Walls

Price: $9.12 (prices can change)

I first read this book a few years ago but since, have read it many times.  The author, has a wonderful knack for storytelling and will keep you captivated from cover to cover. She is very candid in sharing about her childhood experiences, and I found it amazing that she wrote about her neglectful parents very matter-of-factually and without any judgment. It was refreshing to see how she was able to rise out of the deplorable childhood that she had to become who she is today.

The reviews are excellent!  It currently has a 4.6 out of 5 stars and has over 2800 customer reviews.

Synopsis:

Jeannette Walls grew up with parents whose ideals and stubborn nonconformity were both their curse and their salvation. Rex and Rose Mary Walls had four children. In the beginning, they lived like nomads, moving among Southwest desert towns, camping in the mountains. Rex was a charismatic, brilliant man who, when sober, captured his children’s imagination, teaching them physics, geology, and above all, how to embrace life fearlessly. Rose Mary, who painted and wrote and couldn’t stand the responsibility of providing for her family, called herself an “excitement addict.” Cooking a meal that would be consumed in fifteen minutes had no appeal when she could make a painting that might last forever. 

Later, when the money ran out, or the romance of the wandering life faded, the Walls retreated to the dismal West Virginia mining town — and the family — Rex Walls had done everything he could to escape. He drank. He stole the grocery money and disappeared for days. As the dysfunction of the family escalated, Jeannette and her brother and sisters had to fend for themselves, supporting one another as they weathered their parents’ betrayals and, finally, found the resources and will to leave home. 

What is so astonishing about Jeannette Walls is not just that she had the guts and tenacity and intelligence to get out, but that she describes her parents with such deep affection and generosity. Hers is a story of triumph against all odds, but also a tender, moving tale of unconditional love in a family that despite its profound flaws gave her the fiery determination to carve out a successful life on her own terms. 

For two decades, Jeannette Walls hid her roots. Now she tells her own story. A regular contributor to MSNBC.com, she lives in New York and Long Island and is married to the writer John Taylor.
