Lagoon!

Yesterday we took the kids to lagoon. We always seem to find a nice cold, wet day to do anything outside. It was raining so hard on the way there, that we were sure it was going to be closed. We even stopped at the Gateway and let the kids walk around the Clark Planetarium hoping that we would get even a little break in the weather. It worked!! it was still wet and cold, but it was great!! We left Maggie with her Aunt Tiffini because we knew she would be miserable in the cold, but the rest of us were prepared this time. It rained uncontrollably the last time we went to Lagoon and we didn't have any jackets or sweatshirts. It was so cold that we ended up spending $200 on 4 sweatshirts. We were desperate! Anyway, this time we all had jackets and the nice Micky Mouse ponchos that we bought when it rained at Disneyland. I guess we have a little bad luck when it comes to weather and amusement parks. That's okay though. Yesterday we walked onto almost ever ride. The only one we had to stand in line for was the new ride Wicked, and that wait was only maybe 5 minutes. We also get to go back for free between now and June 16th.
Anyone who knows Morgan, knows that she has a pathological fear of anything fast. She must get this from her father, because it certainly didn't come from me. We were a little worried that she might fall apart when she discovered that she had grown too tall to go on her favorite ride, Bulgy the whale. Luckily, this didn't happen. In fact we were able to get her to go on several rides, and she even enjoyed a few of them! She now likes The Bat, Dino Drop, and Lady Bug Bop, but swears she will never again go on the white roller coaster. I don't get it. Oh well, at least she had fun.
Mike is my ride buddy. I can usually get him to go on just about anything with me. He's a boy after my own heart. He even went on wicked twice. He didn't like it so much the first time, but said he had fun the second time. He was looking forward to going on colossus with me, but the cars got stuck at the top right before we got on, and they closed to ride down. He said his favorite ride was Wild Mouse II.
Josh likes to go on as many rides as Mike, even if he doesn't like them, because he doesn't like to be left out. He wanted to make sure that we knew he never wanted to go on Wicked again! He'll probably love it next year.
Nelson was glad to stay with Morgan while I took the boys on several rides, and was really glad when it was time to go home. At least I know where Morgan gets it from!
Sorry I don't have any pictures. I discovered when we were half way there that I left my camera on the kitchen counter. Oh well. Tomorrow I will take the camera to swimming lessons.
