Lagoon

If The Beloved could do anything, money no object, he would build and run an amusement park. He loves going on rides, being scared out of his brains, and then challenging our children to do the same.

The night before we went to Lagoon we first headed to Seven Peaks and had fun hanging out with The Beloved's sister and her family. The next day The Beloved's parents so kindly accompanied us to Lagoon. My Father-in-law said he was sacrificing his body for the sake of his grandchildren, so everybody could have a partner to ride with and have a good time. Funny guy. If that doesn't shout good grandpa, I don't know what does. My awesome mother-in-law took care of our youngest so I could be up close watching the younger boys and go on a few non-thrilling rides myself. (I only desire the non-thrilling rides... a couple of years ago I discovered that I don't really enjoy being scared. Nope, not in the least bit. So bring on anything safe and wonderful and close to the ground.)

The Beloved and Little C headed off for the big kid rides. The Beloved started him out with the scariest ride of all - The Rocket. Oooohhh - hate that one.

Little C acted very tough, but for some reason when they'd get to the front of the line, he'd proclaim his immediate need to use the bathroom. :) 

Our younger kids loved the train.

Ruckus hated it all. 

Lou and Ruckus even duked it out on the boat ride, fighting over who got to ring the bell. It was WWE at its finest. There were punches thrown, hair pulling, head locks and more. I think these kids have a real future in the business. 

Now Lou - was a MANIAC. He is The Beloved reincarnate. Lou would throw his arms up in the air screaming for more.

LOVED IT!

These kids are completely unpredictable. :)

Until next year - when we're ready for more!
