ITS laGOon TIME

Beginning in early spring the kids thought it would be great to start asking what we were going to do in the summer. Brielle in particular took up this new game and I got asked about 40 times a day, "What do we do in the summer?" But all drawn out and whiny-like. Then her stressed out frown would slowly turn into a giant smile as I gave her the usual list.

We go to the park!

We go to swimming lessons!

We ride on roller-coasters!

We play outside!

We run through the sprinklers!

Give or take a few. The roller-coaster thing was Tim's idea. We showed them YouTube videos of people going on Lagoon rides well before the park opened and they were so excited. They say anticipation is the best part of any trip, and obviously we are masters of anticipation! They have been begging to go to the "Wickorish Wagoooooon" ever since (Candy-Land confusion reference). 

So finally we chose a Friday that Tim had off that wasn't supposed to be too hot and got ourselves some tickets. (That place is pricey! Thanks, KSL classifieds) 

Brielle kept a straight face on nearly every ride. She wanted to go on every single one and only chickened before the horror ride and a giant slide ride. She loved them all and wanted to go again and again, especially on Puff, but girl was not about to crack a smile. Finally as we were about to leave we plopped her on a tiny whale ride and she just laughed and laughed. Silly kid.

Mason was a little daredevil. He went on every single ride that he was tall enough for. Surprisingly there were quite a few large roller-coasters that he could ride. We had his cousin, Camden, with us and I think that helped make him a little more brave. But he never got scared and wanted to go on some of the more hairy rides several times. And there was no wiping the giant grin of his face.

Ava sat perfectly in her car seat and people-watched with me entire time like a little angel baby. If you have ever been around Ava for more than 30 seconds than you know what a miracle that was. She did go on the whale ride at the end with Brielle and thought that was pretty cool.

It was a good day with our cute kiddos.
