Lagoon Day

Friday we spent a "lovely" day at Lagoon - Utah's favorite (only) amusement park. It was Stake Day at Lagoon and my kids are truly deprived of Lagoon, so we went. B thinks I'm a very large BAH HUMBUG when it comes to Lagoon - and for once I agree with his assessment. I'm not anti - amusement parks. Just Lagoon. For 3 reasons mostly 1. They have Carnival games that tempt children and torture parents to win them something ridiculous. 2. The majority of people that attend Lagoon are (and I know this sounds judgemental because it is) not the highest caliber of people. On any given day, you will see your fill of missing teeth, meth sores, unusual piercings & tatoos and most of them wear bikini tops so they can go from the Water Park to the rides and keep cool. Thus showing off their tatoos, piercings and meth sores. 3. It's always REALLY crowded.



From the kids perspective - it is SOOO FUN! Mr. T is now 46 inches and tall enough to ride everything, except "Wicked" (the biggest roller coaster). But Arielle is not, so she was not too happy to wait for us to trade off taking her to the kiddie rides - while Mr. T wanted to stay on the big rides. D hooked up with some friends from the ward and enjoyed himself enough to give me grief about how mistreated he is to only have been to Lagoon 3 times. My response to that was "And how many times have you been to Disneyland & Disney World?"



Lelu returns from AZ today and WE HAVE REALLY MISSED HER! We were glad to share her for a little bit with her "second Mom & Dad", but we have an ache in our hearts when she's away.
