Lagoon

We've never taken our kids to Lagoon. In fact, Nate and I haven't been there for years and years. The last time we went I know we were married, but had no kids. So that puts us somewhere between 1998 and 2001. Sorry for the useless information. I'm really good at giving it.... So we took them to say we did something a little fun this summer. It just so happened to be Haley's 3rd birthday (Aug. 6th) so now the kids think we do exciting activities on every ones birthday. Maybe they'll forget..... (I won't hold my breath.) Truth is it was just the only day that would work with our schedule. The kids had a great time. Nate and I didn't go on any roller coasters, but mostly because the kids didn't dare and neither of us wanted to go on any all alone. I would have felt like such a loser. :) So we did kiddie stuff and had a fun day together. My sister, Debbie, watched Eliza for us so we didn't have to worry about her. It was a HOT day so she would have been miserable anyway.

The highlights for the kids were:
  • Face painting (No, I did not make them all get black and red paintings. It just happened that way.)
  • Log ride (Only a couple meltdowns happened in this line.... tired, hot kids = irrational actions.)
  • Pioneer village (my favorite as a child.... I'm a sucker for old buildings and history.)
  • Train (seeing the zoo animals... tigers, lions....)
  • Winning stuffed animals

Here they are right before we decided to leave. Silly kids! Can't get them to hold still for more than 2 seconds!

We love Lagoon! But, I'll make sure my kids do NOT see this because we always tell no games and no face painting! You are such a nicer mom than me!

It was the Crane reunion in June of1999 that you were there last. Kailey was just 11 months old and we announced that I was expecting Jesslyn to Mom & Dad. There you go....more useless info. :) My kids loved Lagoon when we took them 2 years ago. I am glad you guys were able to take your kids.
