Lagoon!

Yesterday, Grandma & Grandpa Rhodes took all of their grandkids to Lagoon. Brayden & Makenzie had a ball riding the rides with their cousin Kara. They don't get to see her much since she lives in Colorado.

After lunch, we met up with the older kids and went on the two rides that everyone could ride: Rattlesnake Rapids and the Log Flume. The line for the Log Flume was soooo slow. Brayden actually fell asleep in my arms while we were waiting to get on. I was debating whether or not to hop out of line and let him sleep or just get on the ride and see if he woke up. I decided to get on the ride. Brayden slept the entire time. . .he didn't even flinch when we went down the big hill and got splashed with water! He was one tired boy. When we got off our log boat, we walked back to the kiddie rides. He woke up as we were getting in line. I asked him if he wanted to go on a ride with Makenzie and he excitedly shook his head yes and started chanting, "Ride, ride!" His power nap was over and he was ready to go.

The first thing Makenzie spotted when we walked into the park was a giant Elmo that you could win by trying to throuw darts. Andy announced he was going to win it for her. Well, $5 and 3 darts later, he didn't even pop one baloon! I decided to try while the kids were finishing up their afternoon snack. And guess what? I didn't win the giant Elmo, but I did win them a small one! As I walked back to the food court, Makenzie saw him and got very excited. "Melmo!" she yelled. Yay for Mommy!

Before we went home, we took the kids on Puff the Magic Dragon one last time. Jessica was kind enough to ride with with Makenzie since neither she nor Brayden are big enough to ride it by themselves yet and I am not supposed to ride roller coasters of any kind. Andy & Brayden got the front, Jenna was next, followed by Jess and Kenzie.

What a fun day! Thanks Dan & Lois!
