Lagoon Frightmares!

I got a text message from my Mom early Sunday morning saying that we should take the kids to do something today outside because the weather was going to be really nice.  We decided to take them to Lagoon.  We haven't been there at all this year and we are running out of time before they close for the season, so we were really excited.  The only thing missing was Daddyo, he was working in Alaska :(

On our way to Lagoon we got a call from my Aunt Mindi saying they were coming to Lagoon too.  Austin was so excited because this meant that he could go and play on the big rides with his Uncle Mark and his cousin's Chandler and Noah.

The kids were really excited, to help them understand where we were going I just kept asking them if they wanted to go ride the roller coaster so that was our 1st ride.  We went on Bombora.  Abby was 3 inches too short so she wasn't able to go but the boys loved it!  Gabe was a little nervous at first, he kept saying "oh no, oh no" on all of the turns but by the end he was smiling and loving it.  Next, Austin and I took the boys on the Jumping Dragon.

This is Abby's first time riding the rides at Lagoon because last year she was just a baby.  She is 33 inches tall now and can ride most of the kiddie rides.  First, Bulgy the Whale..

She just sat there mellow and took it all in!

She really really loved the spaceship ride,

the planes,

and of course the boats!  She and Sebastian kept fighting over who got to ring the bell.  

Gabe is almost 47 inches tall and you can't be more than 46 inches to ride the boats but the ride attendant let him go one more time.

Of course they loved to drive the cars, what kid doesn't right?

Austin took Sebastian on the Dino Drop while Gabe & Abby went on the Spaceship a few more times.

While we were walking around from ride to ride we ran into some nice witches..

Austin didn't really care to get in the picture with the witches, silly kid!  He was patiently waiting for Mark, Mindi, Chand, & Noah to get there.  

We headed over to Puff the Magic Dragon roller coaster.  Poor Austin, he was not too thrilled to go on anymore kiddie rides!

So after Puff Austin talked me into taking the boys on a big ride, The Tidal Wave!  They all loved it!

Mark & Mindi got there shortly after and off he went to the bigger rides and we went to the train...

They had a little "Scarecrow Maze" set up for the kiddie's to walk thru.

We stayed pretty much the entire day.  We got there just after 11:00 (that's when they opened) and left around 7:30 (they close at 8:00).  They were pooped by the time we left.  Both Abby & Sebastian fell asleep in the car.  Gabe was hanging in there until we got home.
