The 24th at Lagoon!

We finally took the kids up to Lagoon for Pioneer Day. We had so much fun- and so did the kids! We spent the first part of the day at the Laguna Beach going down the slides and swimming with the crowds. After we got all cleaned up, and ready to hit the rides, the kids were already exhausted! I wasn't sure how they were going to do for the next 6 hours in the HOT sun waiting in lines for the little kiddie rides. Luckily- they loved it- almost every minute of it. Natalie was thrilled to be riding on the pink boats, and Nick and Mckay loved flying the airplanes.
Nate took the kids on Puff. It was so funny to watch Natalie's face while she was on it. She tried to act like it was fun, but I could tell she was totally freaked out! Before Mckay got in the little cars, he was a litle scared and said "Mom, I don't know how to drive!" I had to tell him that he really didn't have to drive, but that it was on a track. He was a little nervous as it got started, but quickly figured it out. Nate bribed Nick to go on all of the big rides. He was grabbing onto the fence before getting on every ride, but after wards, he loved it. Hopefully he doesn't have horrible memories and fears of big rides now! We tried to sneak out before the crowds and the fireworks, but as we got into the parking lot, we heard the first big BOOM. We watched the whole firework show from the parking lot! Everytime we tried leaving before the end, Natalie threw a fit telling us "it's not over yet!" The finale was amazing and we were glad we stayed! We are thinking of making this a yearly tradition.
