Lagoon Summer Fun

With school starting our Lagoon summer fun has ended, but now we can enjoy the park in the fall too. Lagoon is open on the weekends so we will fit in some Saturday fun days. We also like to go and enjoy the Frightmare adventures in October. This year Ashlynn is now tall enough to ride more of the big thriller rides. Believe it or not...her favorite ride is the Wicked roller coaster that goes straight up and down and does several twists that go upside down. She just loves it! We have had some great memories this summer with friends and just our family. One memory of mine is when the park just opened for the season and the weather was still slightly cold, Carter and Lauren (our neighbor) wanted to ride Rattlesnake Rapids, but it was a little too cold for me to get wet. I sent them to ride without me and there was no line (because it was so cold). I waited for them and kept seeing them going around the river a few times because the lagoon workers said they could stay on the ride because there was no one waiting to get on. So, they went around and around the huge river with big rapids soaking them. (That never happens that you don't have to get off the ride) We left this ride for the end of day because I new that they would be freezing when they got out, but they had so much fun. Little goof balls! We definitely enjoy our time here!

Boys at 40 Pines

Matt and Carter had a boys weekend at the cabin with grandpa Tom. Carter said he had a fun time being there. He did say that he was a little lonely because he didn't have his other cousins there to play around with. He still had a great time with dad and grandpa, although they probably don't feel the same. Carter tends to be a little on the high energy side for some and doesn't want to miss out on anything, I mean anything! We just love this kid.

Girls Weekend...

The boys went to the cabin for the weekend and we had fun having Ashlynn and mom time. We went to dinner, shopped at the mall, spent some time at Lagoon, visited a friend in the hospital and then Ashlynn decided she wanted her ears pierced. I was slightly hesitant because I wanted to wait until her 8th birthday, but I thought maybe this is my window to get it done. I got to thinking would if she didn't want them pierced later. So, we went for it...she was so good that she didn't even flinch in the chair or even shed a tear. She said that she was kind of nervous and that her hands were sweaty..she is so cute! She has been very good about being careful with them and reminding me to clean them. The Hello Kitty earrings are perfect for her since she has to wear them for 6 weeks before she can change them out. Ashlynn is so excited about her new pierced ears.
