Lagoon

Keith's company had a Lagoon day last Saturday.  We were all a little worried about the heat, especially with masks, but we were also excited about a free day at Lagoon!
It wasn't very crowded for a Saturday.  We could walk on a lot of the rides and I don't think we waited more than 10-15 minutes for the big rides.
We like to find rides that we can all ride together.  We all had fun on the bumper cars. 
Everyone had fun trying to crash into each other. 
Once we got on the ride we could take off our masks.  So many things make no sense these days.
The flying aces was another one we all had fun riding. 
Wyatt didn't want to ride so I was going to stay off with him, but I was so happy when he said he would go.  The breeze felt so good!
 
Jonah wanted to ride Rocket, but Caitlyn doesn't like it.  I told him that I would watch him go on it.  I got in line with him and decided I might as well go on it.  I was pretty nervous about it though, I'm not a big fan of heights and it's been years since I rode the rocket.  When we got in our seats it took almost ten minutes of them checking seats and saying they weren't locking, even Jonah was getting a little nervous.  They finally started it and luckily we were safe!  I actually enjoyed the ride a lot more than I thought I would.  The height didn't bother me, I think because of how secure the seat belt is.
After the rocket we met everyone in a shop.  Wyatt wanted this squid hat.  We told him that we should buy it on our way out so he didn't have to worry about it while we were there.  He was insistent that he wanted it and wanted to wear it in the park.  He said, "I would rather sweat then not have a squid hat."  He is a funny kid! 
Vasayo provided a box lunch for us. It was so good and also came with as many ice cream bars as we wanted.  After lunch Keith and the older kids went on some rides while I took Hallee and Wyatt around.
I was surprised that Wyatt and Hallee wanted to ride the sky ride.  It was worse than rocket.  The ride kept stopping and at one point we were bouncing up and down.
I was surprised when I looked across the way to see Jonah on the sky ride going the opposite way. 
I was really surprised to see Keith on it.  He hates heights!  He loves his kids more though, he said they wanted to go so he went. 
Hallee tried a few new rides this time.  She loved flying aces and the dragon ride. 
The heat wasn't terrible when we first got there, but by the afternoon it was getting unbearable. 
We were all ready to go home and get out of the heat after five hours except for Hallee.  She wanted to stay.  We let her do a few more rides and then we headed home.  I'm so glad we went and I'm so glad we didn't pay so we didn't feel bad leaving!

You and Keith are so good to go on the rides with your kids when you don't like them! It looks like a fun day and Wyatt was cute in his hat and it was so cute what he said. He really is a character! I'm glad you could go for free!
