Last night we camped at Lagoon with Bubs & Ange. It was fun, but freezing! Preston & Jorja squeezed into mine & Mike's sleeping bag. Mike was kicked out. He tried to sleep in my old snuggie we brought for Preston, then ended up sleeping in Jorja's sleeping bag. (She had her sleeping bag inside ours, so I slid her out of it and gave it to Mike.) He was so cold and could not straighten his legs all night. It was a pretty long night for him.
This morning we walked to Lagoon. My family has a reunion there every year. I love it. We haven't been able to go for four years. Finally we can go again! It was great and the weather was perfect. Preston had a great time. We rode the rides you get wet on in our swimming suits. (Rattlesnake Rapids and the Dishwasher a.k.a. Cliffhanger) Lagoon-a-Beach was the most freezing I could ever remember. Water like ice. We only lasted one waterslide. Luckily I was the one who was watching Preston, so I didn't last even one. Preston went down three kiddie slides, one that had a giant freezing waterfall he had to go through. He was so cold!
Stockton loved going on the scary rides again. He rode Wicked and Colossus twice. (Once he rode Colossus by himself.) There was not one scary ride he turned down. Bubs got Lincoln to go on Wicked. Now that's crazy! My kids did really well today, but they had no desire to wait in lines after spoiling them last week. Many of the rides were declared not worth the wait. Preston really wanted to ride the merry-go-round . . . . specifically the one puppy on the merry-go-round. We ended up being first in line, then some people got off the ride because they said they couldn't find a seat. So, three little kids and two adults ended up in front of us. As soon as we could get on, we raced to the puppy, but it was already taken. Preston didn't like that. He was crying thick tears. I asked the lady if we could wait until next time so he could ride the puppy. Luckily she was okay with that. Preston got on the puppy and petted him the entire ride.
I love being with my family. It was awesome to see Grandma Parry there! (and grandpa too!) We were hoping they would spend the night at our house, but grandma wasn't feeling too well, so they went back to Idaho in the evening. Mike & I took a lot of pictures during the day, but judging by the outcome you would think it was only us and Bubs' family at Lagoon. We did have a really great time and love having such a fun place to see my family. (Plus I think it's a pretty sweet way for Bubs & Ange to spend their anniversary!)

Of all the pictures we took, I was really excited when Mike showed me these. They reminded me so much of pictures from ten years ago. Maysen has told me several times this is her earliest memory. I love it!

In conclusion: I love Lagoon. I love Lagoon with my family and I love Lagoon with no lines. If only we could combine those two, that would truly be magical! Thanks to all my family for continuing this tradition . . and thanks to the weather for being great!
