lagoon x2

the nephews came to stay with my parents for a week while my sister and bil went on a cruise. i was so excited because i hardly ever see them or get to really spend one on one time with these cute boys. i planned all sorts of activities to do with these boys but with school and work, i only really managed a few things. the park and lagoon.

cade is quite funny when it comes to the park. he only went down one slide and counted down 14 times that he could go down on it. he would go down, climb back on the playground, hope across the bridge a 2 times, tell me not to come up there, tell me how high he was, and then finally slide down and repeat. he is quite the funny child.

 i think i was more excited than cade was. he was not impressed at first but then got used to it. his favorite ride was 'splash mountain' aka the log flume. it was so fun though to see his face and excitement at all the rides.

 there is something about lagoon that just makes me think of childhood. every time i pass the pavilions for picnics i think of clogging competitions and the many medals awarded at that park. it hold so many happy memories. every time i pass the ride by the ferris wheel that no one seems to ride that takes forever to load i am reminded of the one time i actually wanted to ride it and ended up missing  one of my dances. at the time i was so sad, now i think it is hilarious.


two days later my very best friend from wyoming (who currently is in a phd program in canada) came to visit so we could also go to lagoon. it has been a fun tradition for the past few years to go.

it was extremely hot, but the lines were not long at all and we barely had to wait for them. it was great.
