It was Jeff's work Lagoon day last Saturday. We got there just in time for the company lunch and raffle then we hit the rides. Hannah acted really excited and kept pointing at the rides so we tried to put her on "Bulgy the Whale". All was good until she started trying to climb out seconds before the ride started. Needless to say, we had to take her off. This also happened on the tug boats. The one ride she did end up going on turned out to be the scariest one. It wasn't until after she was on and in the air that Jeff and I realized it went so high. We were nervous the whole time thinking she was going to climb out or fall out, but she actually loved it. She was turning the wheel and screaming with joy the whole time. And when the time came, she did not want to get off.

Before we took her off the ride...

Hannah loving this ride...

Jeffrey's favorite ride was this ladybug that went up and then dropped down as it was spinning. He was scared at first but when Jeff told him to put his arms up and scream he got excited. We ended up coming back to this one again before we left. I also took Jeffrey on the Tidal Wave with some of Jeff's work friends. In retrospect, maybe not such a good idea. He was okay at first but as soon as it started getting higher I felt the poor little guy sink into me and his face was pale. Heck, I was even a little sick. I think we'll wait a couple years before we do that again.

Finally, we hit the haunted house rides. Jeffrey loved them, but the look on his face in some of the pictures is hilarious. All four of us went in Dracula's Castle. Hannah sat with me and she didn't cry a bit but I think her face in this picture says it all...

Jeff and I agreed that it was the most fun we have had at Lagoon in a long time. Maybe it was because we scared the crap out of our kids on half the rides...hahaha! Look people, they were big enough to go on them...I promise!

Fun with Friends!

These past couple of weeks we have had a lot fun with our friends. Amanda invited us to the zoo this week for Ashlyn's birthday. Ashley and her kids came too. It's always crazy trying to keep track of that many kids, but we sure had fun. And it wasn't too hot. Jeffrey's favorite thing, yet again, was the big elephant that sprays water. Hannah was just happy when I let her get out of the stroller. And she got excited seeing some of the animals. Thanks for inviting us Amanda and Happy Birthday Ashlyn!

We attempted to get all the kids in a picture...

Hannah had fun swinging on the bars...

Last week we met some friends at the park. I haven't seen some of them in years. It's funny because I feel like I see them and know their kids because of our blogs, but in reality we never see each other. I get to see Tiff at least once a month, but I haven't seen Niki for a year and Tara, Shantel, and Stacey in forever. The kids had a lot of fun. Jeffrey loves tagging along with Tiff's little girls. It was great seeing everyone. We hope to do it again soon!
