Party at Lagoon

I took the kids to Lagoon last Thursday during Fall Break.  Nadia wanted to come so I invited Rachel too so she would have someone to go around with.  I love all of my young women, but these two have been my sidekicks since camp, mostly Nadia, but Rachel likes to hang out with me too.  She is very sarcastic and I get her. 

We went straight to Cannibal.  We did the baby swap so I got to ride it with Nadia after these four went.  Rachel told us she hates rides after this ride.  What?  I'm not sure why she came to Lagoon, but she was fine sitting out on most of the rides. 

We met Allison there.  Wyatt and Hallee love riding the rides with Jack. 

These four have so much fun together.  I love that no matter how much time has gone by they pick up right where they left off.  They all paid to ride the go-karts.  It took almost two hours.  It was so crowded.

Allison and I were just happy to be out of the crowds while we waited for them.  It was so great to spend the day catching up with Allison.  I always feel so good after talking to her and I hope she feels the same. Hallee had fun playing with Maelin.  Hallee likes babies, but she also gets very nervous when they touch her stuff!  You can definitely tell Hallee is the youngest child. We got some dinner and then Allison took the four youngest kids home.  Keith met her and picked up Hallee and Wyatt.  It was a relief to have them gone and not be pushing around the stroller in the crowds.  They were ready to go home and I was ready to have fun and ride the rides!

Nadia and Rachel hung out with me and Allison a lot.  I kept telling them to go ride the rides, but I know they were hoping I would go ride them with them.  They said I was acting like a grown up.  Ha!  I told them it is different on Wednesday night and girls camp when I don't have my mom responsibilities!  After the little kids left we got in line for a Haunted House.  Jonah and Max didn't want to go so they went off to ride rides.  Grace got really nervous and ended up going off with the boys.  I felt torn because I was worried about the three of them, but I really wanted to go in a haunted house and Caitlyn, Nadia and Rachel really wanted me to go with them.

I went through one haunted house with them.  They were hilarious, they were all screaming and hiding behind me.  I ran off so they wouldn't be able to hide behind me.  When we got out they all said they weren't scared, yeah right!  After that we met up with Grace, Jonah and Max and rode rides until closing.  It was so nice to not have to worry about the little kids and be able to ride all of the rides.  It was stressful at times, but it was a really fun day!
