L-A-GOON!

(I love the picture of Bode and Peiton, it is so dang cute)

I remember when I was little and I knew that I was going to Lagoon. About the week before I would be so excited, I couldn't stop thinking about it and especially the night before I couldn't sleep. We would get there and it was so exciting, so many fun things to do. When I was a little older, my friends and I would always try to check out all the workers and find all the cute boys. The Sky Ride was the best place to do that. I have so many memories of Lagoon and now I hope my kids can start having those memories too (hopefully not the one when you look for the cute boys/girls for a while). And I can't forget how I never wanted to wash my hand, I wanted EVERYONE to know that I just went to Lagoon....I was SO lucky!

We took our kids a couple of weeks ago to Lagoon for UDSF (Utah Down Syndrome Foundation) day at Lagoon. It was buy one get one free, which we thought was a pretty good deal. This was the first time we have taken our kids to Lagoon. At first I was kind of hesitant, not quite sure how fun it was going to be. I knew I was going to have to sacrifice riding the rides I wanted, which I love riding the rides. But, I actually had a great time! It was so fun to see Cooper get scared out of his mind and excited to go on a ride. It was fun to see Bode LOVE all the rides and just laugh, smile and wave, and Peiton wasn't quite sure about it all, she just had this look of terror on her face whenever she was on a ride. I guess I realized that happiness is seeing your kids happy (not that I didn't already know and feel this, but it just reassured me). Anyways the real reason I go to Lagoon is for some serious people watching, it is the best place to do it....just kidding (not really).

It was also great to be around a few Down Syndrome kids and see
how they interact at places and with their families.

Collin's parents joined us and helped us out a lot, it was great to have them there. My sister Hollie and her family came too, it was fun to be with them. Although Haws, we never made it on the Wild Mouse together so we could laugh our heads off.... Cooper had made up his mind on what rides he wanted to ride with Uncle Cam, I think they made it on The Bat together.
Thanks Lagoon for the fun day, you never seem to disappoint. Not quite the Disneyland feeling, but still a fun place.
