.: Fabulous Cousin Fun at Lagoon !

A few weeks ago, Parker and Jordan found a Lagoon brochure and spent hours looking over the map and discussing what they wanted to do. It had been 2 years since we had gone so I casually mentioned to my Mom that we should take the kids when Laura's family was in town. Well, my Mom being the awesome Grandma that she is, planned a Lagoon cousin trip to die for (literally)! We had 7 children 5 and under, two mommies, one Grandma and one pregnant mommy ( I'm not sure if I was a help or a hindrance) Luckily, Ryan was able to get off work and Amanda's fiancee Nate was able to come. Then to even make the party better, our cousin Jenni and her daughter Claire and our cousin Travis met us! WOW, what a great day we had!!! The weather was perfect, the lines not to bad and you couldn't bet the company. I spent the day walking from bench to bench with baby Jason, neither one of us could ride much... so we spent the day eating treats and drinking water :) I loved to watch the kids as they ran from ride to ride, squealing with delight and laughing. There were a few favorites (bumper cars, helicopters and fighter planes) that they rode over and over, yelling "I'm going AGAIN!" Oh, to be a child again with so much energy and love for life! Ryan was such a trooper, he kept everyone corralled and went of the bigger rides with everyone. Parker couldn't wait to go on "Spider Man" (the Spider) and "Batman"(the Bat), which he had noticed on the brochure map. He is growing so fast, he is almost to tall for some of the "baby rides". All the boys liked the "Pirate ship" and giggled as it tickled their tummies. We rode the train several time, a highlight for Jason and I. This was a great day, fun had by all and no one got lost or hurt... a success by my books.
