Lagoon


Every summer my dad gets discount tickets to go to Lagoon and so we all go together. We've lived in Farmington now for a year and a half and we haven't gotten season passes yet. Last year I was pregnant and this year with Sawyer being so little I knew I wouldn't go that much. Maybe next year... Anyway, the kids love Lagoon. We all love being there with the family going on rides together and taking turns watching kids. We went on a Friday and it got a little crowded later in the day, but we were still able to go on quite a few rides. The only problem I have with rides is the fact that I can't go on ANY rides anymore without feeling like I'm going to lose my lunch. I don't remember being like that before I had children but now you can't even jerk me side to side before I'm spinning. No fun!! Hopefully next time I can figure out some good drugs to see me through because I love going on rides. After heading to the Bombora the kids decided to ride the Dinosaur Drop. Brad went and stood in line with them and them strapped them in and left them to ride alone. Well, Ryker was all smiles and we weren't too worried. They were taken up and had the first drop and all of a sudden we hear this high pitched screaming. Ryker had decided he wasn't too excited about the whole ride and we had to watch while he was taken up over and over. We have great before and after pictures. We felt bad for the kid but we still managed to have a good laugh over it.
We hit some other rides and the bumper cars. Ryker got stuck and couldn't move his car and so the guy running the ride let him go again because he felt bad for him. He was pretty excited.
Feeding the goslings was just as fun as rides for these kids.
After a few more rides we decided to head to Rattlesnake Rapids. We waited in line for a bit and then they closed the dang ride. Michelle wasn't too happy. :) We headed to Laguna Beach after that for about an hour and it was perfect. We were able to cool down and take a break from lines.
I was feeling pretty done with rides that night but the fam wanted to hit the Tidal Wave. I decided to sit it out and while I was waiting with my dad we looked over and there was the biggest swan hanging out next to it. The pictures don't do it justice! It was huge!
Overall, we had a great day at Lagoon. It might be the only one we get this summer!
