Always & Forever: Lagoon Day

Lagoon Day

Sunday was Catholic Day at Lagoon so we decided to take the kids over for their first time. We stopped for lunch and then headed into the park. We started off in the kid area where the kids rode on some smaller rides and then we headed to the first "roller coaster". It was one of those ones that goes way up high and then suddenly drops...it was taller than Todd and I thought and even made our stomaches drop, but the kids loved it. We went over to the waterpark for awhile after that to cool off. The kids had a great time swimming around and going down the small slides. McKayla tried out a bigger slide with Todd and it ended up being way more intense than we anticipated...it was an enclosed tube, went pretty fast and she had to go down alone. When she got off she looked like she was about to cry and I felt horrible, but Todd scooped her up in his arms telling her how proud we were and she got a huge smile on her face.
From there, we went back into the park for an awesome roller coaster, the ferris wheel and some other rides. Todd also went on a few "adult" rides including one of the craziest ones there (see the video below). It started raining really hard after that so we ran over to the bumper cars for one quick ride and then headed out. We stopped for dinner on the way home and let the kids get a huge, yummy dessert for being so good all day.
We had hesitated originally about taking the kids, but in the end we were so glad we did. We had an awesome family day and the kids loved all the rides...even the scary ones. And when we got home....we crashed and slept very well ;-).
