LaGoOn!!!

This past Saturday we decided to take the boys to Lagoon. I have wanted to go all summer long and we scored some discount tickets and decided that we couldn't pass it up! Saturday turned out to be a perfect day for Lagoon. The forecast said it was supposed to be rainy and cold, but like usual, they were wrong and it was perfect~ mid 70's all day! The boys overall had a great time! Wesley had a scare right when we got there and I thought it had ruined him for the day. The first ride he rode started out great, but half way through he got spooked, and it took him awhile to warm up to the rides again.

This was the first time I have ever been to Lagoon without riding all the rides. Taking kids really changes the dynamic for having fun. Although I only got to ride a few rides here and there (most of them being kiddie rides), I had a lot of fun! I really enjoyed watching my boys having all the fun! Watching their faces light up and hearing their squeals made it all worth it!

It is hilarious to watch Wesley on the bumper cars...he just spins in circles!
It had been a couple of years since Rob and I had been to Lagoon, and there was a new ride that we hadn't been on before that was a family favorite! The Odyssea! Even Beckett was able to ride this ride and I think we rode it the most over any other ride! Wesley loved that the dolphins and shark would squirt him with water. He came off the ride giggling every time.

Beckett was all giggles as well! He looks so tiny!

This is how Beckett spent most of the day. If he wasn't on a ride, he was chowing down!
Later on in the day our good friends, the Arbuckles joined us! Wesley and his buddy Carter got to ride together on all the rides. They were in heaven!



It was a very LONG, but super fun day! I don't think we left the park until after 11pm! The boys were pretty well behaved. We only had a couple of incidents, including a pretty funny poop accident including Rob. If you want to hear the story, you'll have to ask me about it! I think Rob and I are going to head back to Lagoon again this weekend (thanks to bounceback!), without the kids and ride all the big kid rides. We can't wait!

How fun! I want to go to Lagoon too! Ryan is not that big of fan though and I am for sure not brave enough to take the boys! The boys look super cute in the pictures though!

We love Lagoon and have season passes. We talked everyone into getting them so that their is enough of us to take turns with the little kid and the adults can go off and ride the big rides. I really want to here about the poop story though. When you go back you really need to ride WICKED!! It is wickedly awesome. It's my favorite ride of all time at Lagoon.

How fun! You guys are always busy doing something fun! I don't know how you do it! But I'm sure your kids had a blast!

Those pictures are so cute! It is so hard to go with kids. I took my nephews it was so weird to not ride anything but still have to pay!
