Lagoon

Thanks to my awesome Sister-in-Law, Carole, the kids and I had a chance to go to Lagoon before school started. Carole's work gave the whole company tickets for Lagoon and her older kids and husband could not get out of work. So we were more than happy to use their tickets.

I've been to Lagoon twice in my life. The first time was for my 18th birthday. After growing up next to Disneyland I was a little unimpressed with Lagoon.  I went again in my late 20s and don't remember too much from that trip either.

But I think Lagoon has finally grown up. We had so much fun with Carole and her daughter, JaCee.  John is not the most adventuresome when it comes to amusement parks, but I was prepared this time and did not get so frustrated.

John and I enjoyed the train ride and all the animals!

John dreaming of the day when he will get to drive a real car!

Who would be crazy enough to go on a rollercoaster that goes straight up and then down?

And then twists sideways? Wicked is a very good name for this ride.

Jessica, Ashley and I got to conquer this beast!

Carole somehow convinced John to go on this ride!

But I think she regretted it when she got wet every time they went around because John would not let the whale go up!

Ashley and JaCee look so big going on this ride by themselves.

Jessica and Carole ready for some fun!

(note this was another ride John and I skipped ;))

But John did love the water fountain!

I told Mark I thought we would be home about 6pm. In the end we left Lagoon around 10:30pm!

The kids loved it and I think we'll go again before another 15 years passes us by.
