It would be impossible for me to go back through and really catch up on everything that's been going on this summer, but I thought maybe I do a couple of "highlights" posts...
One of the stand out days for us this summer was when my sister came down from MT and we all went up to Lagoon. It was Tim and I with our 4 kids, plus Laura & Damon and their 5 kids, plus my brother Mike and his wife Rachael. (we were sorry that Mark and Corinne (and Brynlee and Landon couldn't make it)
We went on THE PERFECT day! The weather was just right - not chilly, not hot. The lines were SHORT all day. The people going on the "big kid rides" had to wait a tiny bit, but in "kiddie land" - the kids practically walked onto every ride. They never had to wait more than one cycle before it was their turn. I'm not kidding! We went on the log ride 3 or 4 times in a row - just got off, ran around and pretty much hopped right back on. We did the same on Rattlesnake Rapids - I think word got out though, because after our 4th (or 5th) ride, there was starting to be a line... Granted, it was still only a 5-10 minute wait time line, but after NO line... we decided we were good and off went went to do other stuff.
Along with the great weather and no lines - we had the PERFECT group of people. It is a pain to be "stuck" in kiddie land all by yourself all day, but since Laura and I were there together, it was really nice. we watched the kids ride and we got to laugh and visit. The kids all had little "buddies" that were their size to ride with. They just loved all the cousin time. While Laura and I were with the little kids, there were plenty of grown ups to take the older boys on the other rides (and keep track of them all). Mike and Rachael are roller-coaster riders so there was nothing they wouldn't take the kids on. The older cousins each had a buddy, or there were enough adults that on scary rides any kids that wanted to sit by an adult could. It was WONDERFUL! It could not have been a better day!
Here are a few of the MANY photos we took that day:
and what day at Lagoon would be complete without playing at least once in the fountain???
