Since Lagoon is only a few hours from Declo we decided on Monday that we would go for the day on Tuesday. We were a bit nervous since the weather had been so unpredictable and there was a high chance of thunderstorms, and it was pouring the closer we got to the park. But it was actually really nice because it wasn't crowded and there were hardly any lines. It wasn't unbearably hot, though it was pretty chilly the first few hours. But I would rather have that weather than stifling hot and sweating buckets while you wait in lines.
This is how Olivia spent most of the morning and early afternoon:
Jeff took Ethan & Kamden on some of the bigger rides, they were really adventurous this year and went on a lot of them.
Kamden even dragged Jeff onto Samurai:
While they were doing that, Olivia & I watched Owen on some of the tamer rides. He always enjoys these little planes, and Bulgy the Whale is an all-time favorite.
He only rode the Carousel twice this year, though.
We met back up for lunch and then went on rides together.
These little Jeeps get a bit crazy on the corners, Owen didn't like them last year because of that but he had more fun on them this year.
All 3 boys went on the Tilt-A-Whirl together and Owen did NOT care for that. He cried and screamed for quite awhile afterwords.
Jeff, Ethan, & Kamden went on the big bumper cars right after that and Owen cried about how much he hated the Tilt-A-Whirl the whole time they were on the bumper cars.
He did like the Twirling Tea Cups, though.
Ethan & Kamden went on this crazy dragon ride that goes super fast both forward and then backward. I have a feeling Owen wouldn't have cared much for that, either.
Olivia did spend some time out of her car seat once the sun came out and the day warmed up a bit.
And Owen took advantage of the empty car seat:
Here are our 4 little loveys on the Lagoon Express:
Jeff took the boys on Rattlesnake Rapids, then Ethan & Kamden went again solo:
It was a great day and I'm so glad we decided to go, despite the weather and adding an extra day to our time away from home.
We drove back to Declo and stayed the night, then headed home on Wednesday.
