LAGOON

Yesterday we went to Lagoon. It was the first time for me and Luke and Harlee. Darolyne had offered to take us since we were unable to go on the family vacation earlier this summer because Gray had just been born. So Hailee and Ben watched Gray and Nash so we could go. I had such a hard time leaving them but knew it would be so much fun for Luke and Harlee. We left home around 3pm and stopped at Carls for a quick dinner. Then it was off to the fun! We met KC and Shawn there and started off on the rides. Our first ride was one of two Haunted Houses. Luke was so excited until we actually got on the ride! Then we went on some of the roller coasters. Luke went with me on one called Samurai. HOLY COW! That was so scary. As we got off the ride Luke said "That was WICKED!!" The crowds were minimal so we were able to get on all the rides that we wanted to without having to wait more that 15 minutes. Luke said that his favorite ride was the Old Train ride because he could not believe there were real aminals (animals!). Harlee loved the Tidal Wave that went back and forth. She kept saying "It tickles my tummy!" I loved Wicked and Joey did too!

Joey and I paid the extra money to do the crazy Catapult ride. They strap you in what looks like a big red open ball and it shoots you well over 200 feet in the air. It is suppose to be what the astronauts experience as they are rocketed off the ground. It was so great. I think Joey and I both screamed so loud. How fun to do something CRAZY with your best friend! We had such a great time. As we were leaving, Luke said that for his birthday next year he wants to go back to Lagoon and stay until it closes. He said he wants to stay until it is super dark and there on stars in the sky!!
