Lagoon Day

We were able to go to Lagoon this year, although under specific circumstances. We were given some free entrance passes and coupons for a few free rides, and we also bought $20 worth of tickets that enabled the kids to ride on some of the children's rides available at the park. We had a lot of fun and I'm grateful that Merritt and Grace understand limits. They knew that when the tickets were gone, they were gone, and they didn't fuss. They also realized that they needed to carefully select what they wanted to do, since every ride wasn't available to them. Yea for my kids!



Here we are on the carousel. Can I measure my age by the fact that riding around in a fast circle now makes me nauseated?





Merritt was very excited about this ride! Look at that face!






We had fun on the train ride, Merritt liked seeing the tiger, Grace liked everything (Look, camels! Look, deer! Look, llamas!) Grant liked the birds and going through the tunnel.




Chad was very patient while Grace jumped up and down in excitement and squealed in his ear.







You know Grace is having a good day when she gets to ride in the pink boat.




Normally we wouldn't EVER buy any food at Lagoon, $3.25 for a single scoop ice cream cone...who are you kidding? We had five coupons though for ice cream at $1.50, so we splurged on that. It was a hot day and the ice cream melted quickly, making for very messy children. When they were finished, we sent them all to the splash pad to play, or so they thought, it was really to wash up. It worked wonderfully well, they came out sopping wet but clean...and they had a great time in the water. :)
