A couple of weeks ago we finally made it to Lagoon for our annual visit. We usually go on our Stake Lagoon Day because of the discount, but Nat was busy with work that day, so we waited. I’m glad we did! Other than the astronomical cost, the September weather was fabulous! Totally better than July.
Abby loved the first two rides…..the boats and the fighter airplanes.
And then Nat took her on the rollercoaster. I was so proud of Adam for being brave and riding alone in the seat in front of Nat and Abby. But Abby did not enjoy the ride. After that, she refused to go on anything.
The train, however, was acceptable.
Me and my 3 babies. Love them!
Look at Caleb the Chunk!!
Even if Abby was being a party pooper, Adam had a blast! He would blow kisses to me as he went around on the rides. What a sweet Mama’s Boy!
I am in love with this picture!
Adam deemed the space ships his very favorite ride. I think he’s pretending to be a fighting space pilot….or something else aggressive, hence the angry face.
Caleb was an angel! He’s really a very good baby. Except when we’re driving. He does not like being in the car where he can’t see any of us.
Look at those cheeks!
We were there for about 6 hours and by the end, Abby was just done. We were able to convince her to ride the carousel one more time, (she was a little scared the first time), and Nat waited an extra turn just so she could get her coveted pink pig. Yay for the pink pig! We were able to end our day with smiles and giggles!
I can’t resist posting this picture….although it’s probably not ethical to post a picture of someone without their consent. Oh well.
Of course I took this picture while making it appear as though I were aiming the camera towards my own kids….
While the carousel was loading, there was this young mom, (or perhaps big sister…..but the obvious grandparents of this little baby were standing by me, so I’m going with young mom), anyway, this mom was right in front of where I was standing with my camera poised to capture pictures of my adorable children. She had her baby sitting up on some animal or another. He was SCREAMING! I mean, come on, this baby is probably 3 months old. Definitely younger than Caleb. He was arching his back and flailing, because really, what 3 month old likes to sit up like that with minimal support? I kept thinking that surely she would take him off before the carousel started. Surely she wasn’t going to subject her tiny little baby to this?? Nope. The carousel started. He momentarily stopped crying. But then he startled, flailed, and wailed again. Every time they came around I thought, surely, she would scoop up that baby and hold him and calm his obvious state of total distress. Nope. Around and around they went. Grandparents filming away on their phones and this mom/girl/whatever was just smiling away. I felt so bad for this little guy. What’s the point of riding a carousel when you can’t even sit up by yourself?? Now I feel bad for being judgmental.
Back to my own business….
We had a great time at Lagoon this year! We’ve been the past 3 summers and it just keeps getting more and more fun as the kids grow up! See you in 2013 Lagoon….if we’re still here.
