It's Lagoon!

This year we got not one but TWO trips to Lagoon thanks to American First Credit Union. They rented out the park on August 30th and let the the employees leave early. Because we were all set for our annual Labor Day trip the next weekend, we decided to just take the early trip with only Spencer and I.

It was such a blast and we got to pretty much walk on every ride... and then we got super sick. SUPER SICK! I don't know if it was something we ate or just because we were going on so many rides with no breaks in between... but we were really sick. I actually think we have never both been sick like that at the same time. It was not fun

We decided to go home really early (don't worry we had plenty of fun) but both of us were too sick to even drive home, so we just walked around the new shops in Farmington for a while. I know it sounds like kind of a bummer, but it really wasn't... okay, being so sick WAS a big bummer... once we were felling a little better, we had a blast shopping and laughed and talked all the way home.

Four days later we were back up for Labor Day weekend. This year, we decided to save some money and only stay in the hotel for one night instead of two and drove up on Saturday Morning. Oh and in case you didn't know (Katelyn likes Adam a little bit)

and I could say the Little Guy and Julianna get along as well

The jury is still out on how many times we went on Rattle Snakes Rapid... weather it was 13 or 14... and then met Grandma Julie and the kids for lunch

Okay, we had SO MUCH FUN with the kids!!!! They are at such a fun age, they were able to go on everything and they just loved it!

Last year, the Little Guy was a scaredy-cat and refused to go on a bunch of rides even though he was tall enough so I was not having that this year. I told him that he had to go on every single ride that he was tall enough for and if he cried about it, he had to go on that ride twice (a trick I learned from Julie's friends the Wilsons).

The result: the Little Guy had so much fun on all the bigger rides! His favorite ride was actually BomBora to which he threw a huge tantrum last year and refused to go on it. Yeah, that's good parenting

We played for a couple of hours and then decided to let the kids play in the splash pad before going to take a nap but they were both way too tired

Of course, they didn't actually take naps, but the break was good nonetheless

We made it back to the campground perfectly in time for dinner

and of course, Tio Adam had a giant minion waiting for Katelyn and some pokeballs for the Little Guy

We went on a bunch of rides again after dinner and around 8 met with with these goobers to that we could ride Sky Coaster. I mean, there is pretty much nothing better. Sure it is scary but once that initial drop is gone, you are literally flying and it is so amazing!

Julianna and Aubry went on it for the first time as well and they loved it

Some un-pictured stories from Lagoon... The kids favorite ride was the Jumping Dragon and they went on it a ridiculous amount of times. Katelyn would be so exited when she was getting on it that she would literally bounce on the balls of her feet while she was waiting in line.... Adam took the kids for a little bit (completely unprompted and because he wanted to) and Spencer and I got to go on one last roller coaster by ourselves.... this was our first time since we have kids that we actually stay until the park closes.

We were all so exhausted by the time we got to the hotel, we went straight to bed (Katelyn didn't even make it out of the park, she fell asleep in the stroller as we were walking towards the parking lot)

The next morning, we packed up and had delicious breakfast. The Keeles decided to go straight home, but we actually took the kids to Temple Square which is something we had been wanting to do for a long time (I'll write more about that in the month update post)

Until next year Lagoon!!!!
