Lagoon

The other part of our plan for doing something fun as a family was to go to Lagoon.  I have a hard time leaving the little two home when we do family activities, but we decided this time it was best to leave them home.  It was so fun to have this time with Caitlyn and Jonah without worrying about the little two. 

We started out with a roller coaster.  Caitlyn was really nervous, but she went on it.  I was thinking that she would be nervous before and then love it, but she wasn't a fan of the roller coasters.  We did the big white one and she hated it the whole time.  Poor girl. 

We found plenty of rides that Caitlyn liked.  We all loved the log ride. 

For the first couple of hours we were able to just walk right on rides.  It was great.  Keith and I did the colossus a few times.  We couldn't get the kids to go on it with us, but we sure enjoyed it!  The kids loved the rattle snake rapids. 

We did it twice and Caitlyn got soaked!  She was wet the rest of the day. 

We were all pretty wet, but I think Caitlyn and I got it the worst.

This kid cracks me up.  When did he start looking so grown up?

Caitlyn was nervous about the sky ride, but she ended up liking that one.

They both loved the bumper cars and the haunted houses.

We all liked the swings and the train.  We made the kids try the screamer and they both liked that even though neither one of them wanted to go on it.  After that I stopped pushing them to try rides and we just did what they wanted.  Caitlyn had to wait for us on a few of them because she didn't want to do them, but she was a good sport about it.

About 5:00 PM it started raining.  It was pouring while we stood in line for the swings, it was one cold ride!  After that we went in the pavilion to eat and see if the rain was going to stop.  It didn't stop so we decided to head home.

We were all soaked from the rain.  I wish we could have stayed later, but I'm really glad we went.  It was much needed time with Caitlyn and Jonah.  I love getting out and having fun with my kids.  I will spend money on entertainment for our family and totally feel like it is worth it, but I won't buy myself a new purse or other practical things.  I should probably be better with our finances, but that is no fun!
