It sure was Wicked!

Steven and I and the girls went to Lagoon. It was the first time for the girls, and thankfully my sister Dondi was there to help us with the fun yet hectic day. The weather was cloudy and nice and once or twice a raindrop. Not too hot that we were miserable. Most of our time was spent in the kiddie rides, but I think we liked them better anyway. **I'll let you in on a little secret. Steve and I are getting old and we get sick at Lagoon. Without kids, we have been known to leave at 4:00.


The Ladybug ride was one of Kiana's favorite rides...it made me quesy. She would just sit there with the biggest cheesy grin!

Being the only child old enough to ride, she had to make a lot of friends fast. Good thing she does that so easily.



Kiana is 3 going on 16. She just wishes she could drive, the only driving she is doing is driving me crazy. She liked being behind the wheel.


She didn't know what to think of this ride. I was the lucky one to be riding with her and just kept asking her if she was fine. She said she was. I think the only ride she had a hard time with was the Tidal Wave. She hid behind Dondi the whole time and cried and when we were done, she told us she didn't like that one.


This was the craziest thing. Have you ever gotten this soaked on the Log ride??? I had never. I think because us heavy weights were sitting in the front and some skinny minnies in the back, we all got drenched. Kiana cried and cried because she got wet. She tried to stand when we were going down the fall and she got a mouth full of water. Poor girl. Good thing we dried fast.



Here is us on the awesome train ride (way better than at the zoo). Thanks for all your help Dondi!!

The classic bumper cars. I am really surprised that Kiana never freaked out without mom and dad holding her hand. She just went and had fun. Steve has been waiting for years to take her here and I think we all enjoyed ourselves.

This was pretty scary for Kiana. She ran and hid behind a tree before we even went in because she saw the skull on the top of the building. I think she cried the whole time.This one made them both sick. I think we need to stick to the kiddie rides!!

Dondi and her cousin-in-law took the girls for a while and let me and Steve go off for an hour. One whole hour to ourselves and we spent it standing in line for Wicked. We'd never been and heard it was the ride to go on. I think the anticipation was the worst for the whole hour and then the ride was all of 60 seconds. I don't really remember it.

The reason for going to Lagoon was Steve's work party. We got discount tickets, they feed us, and we won a raffle prize that was worth more then we spent on the tickets (too bad it was stupid and we had to trade it in!!) It was just nice to spend the day having fun with family. I'm so grateful we had help too.

I miss Lagoon. It is the best!!! Probably because I have so many childhood memories there. I was happy to see all of the pictures you posted of the different rides. I love the "wicked" ride. I think it is so fun. What was the prize that you won? Why did you have to trade it in?

Nani is so funny. If it is any consilation, T still hates the haunted house ride at Lagoon.
Makes me laugh.
