It's what fun is!

We finally took the two big kids for a day at Lagoon.  We have been waiting until Duncan got a hair taller (we have been waiting a LONG TIME for that) so that he could ride more rides.  We dropped Lyza off with Grandma Parsons and we took off on a gorgeous sunny Sunday morning.  The weather couldnt have been more perfect.  It was sunny and 75 with a light breeze.  Because its Sunday in Utah and in April, there were no lines.  AT ALL.  I think the longest we waited for a ride was funny enough- for the train!  Oh, and while we are talking about that- can someone PLEASE set those animals free.  That is the saddest most pathetic animal enclosure ever.  Sophia was the perfect height- she was JUST short enough to ride the kid rides and JUST tall enough to ride the bigger rides.

We spent the morning in "little Lagoon" letting the kids do all the kids rides.  We rode Puff the Magic Dragon, the tea cups, and the carousel as a family and then the kids rode all the kids rides they could.  After about 12:30, Duncan was about in tears.  Too excited to eat breakfast, he hadn't really eaten anything substantial so we took that as the perfect time to go out to the car and have a picnic in the trunk.  We packed a cooler and we laid the seats down in the van and had a great lunch.  After food, Duncan was a whole new man.  He wanted to do all the big kid rides- like the Wicked and the Colossus!  I had to laugh.  We settled on the gondola, the lady bug, the flying aces, the ferris wheel, another gondola ride and then topped it off with the arcade.  We rode the spook ally and I rode with Duncan.  I was trying to calm him down by talking and laughing with him.  After about 2 minutes he told me to be quiet because he couldn't concentrate   Afterward he told me that it was the stupidest ride and wasn't even scary.....ah boys.

Doesn't he look like a little baby in this one?!

End of the day, the kids won a fan and a squirt gun at the arcade!
