Yay Lagoon!!

Before we went to Lagoon K. and I went to the Dr. to check out her kankle.  She got a bug bite a few days before and it swelled up huge!  I had given her Benadryl to no avail the night before so we just wanted to make sure she was OK before taking her

Right off the bat z made us go on the White Roller Coaster.  I hate that ride but the kids wanted to go on it too.  It seems like every time I go to Lagoon I get stuck going on that ride against my better judgment.  You should have seen how excited the kids were for that ride though.  I remember riding it with my parents back in the day and I can remember my mom holding me on the ride so I didn't fly out.  I think I really might have if it weren't for being held in that rickety old ride with crappy seat belts.  I opted to ride with K. so I could hold her in just in case.  It turns out the seat belts are much better these days but the kids HATED the ride and K. was terrified of the whole thing.  She kept her head down which probably made it 100x's worse than what it really was because she also hit her nose on the bar on one of the bounces.

After that ride K. was a bit mad for the next hour or so at Lagoon.

Onto the next ride!  It was about 2:30pm and not too hot outside.  z decided we should go on the Cliffhanger before it was too late so we could get the getting wet over with.  K. and A. were both scared to go on this ride, more so K. than anyone though.  She saw them go upside down and wanted to be left off the ride.  Of course her mean old mother wouldn't let her.  We got drenched from head to toe.  Our shoes were soaking, everything in z's pockets were soaking, our hair was soaking.  Everything!  So after that K. was freezing for the next several rides.  The good news, she didn't hate the Cliffhanger other than the soaking part.  Oh, and we never even went upside down.  Don't know why. 

Next we went for the spider.  z and I have gone on our own a few times and the line was always too long so we'd never gone on it.  K. of course was scared again.  Let me just tell you, it was awesome!  Even K. loved it!  That ride was so fun!!

After that we went to the Colossus.  I love that ride!  I made A. go on it with me years ago and she swore she'd never ride it again.  Too bad, mean old mom made her anyway.  Neither of the kids wanted to and K. was scared to go upside down.  Turned out to be another ride that K. liked in the end.  A. still didn't like it though.

After the Colossus we rode the Music Express since it's one of the kids favorites.  That was the treat for going on all of our crazy rides.

Then we rode the Sky Ride back to the other side of the park so we could go eat.  It was still a little early so we let the kids go on the Tilt-O-Whirl while z and I sat the ride out.  We went and looked at the Catapult, wishing we weren't cheapskates (it's $20 a person!) and then sat down and tried to let all the soggy papers in z's pocket dry out.

We had a free meal from z's work which consisted of two meats (choice of hotdog, hamburger, or chicken)  letus, onions, tomatoes, chips, condements, potatoe salad and red jello.  Knowing K. would only eat one hotdog I had her get two in case someone else was hungry.  A. stuffed her face with three hotdogs, potatoe salad, jello, chips, and a drink followed by her icecream treat.  After that she was sick.

We went to do the Rocket, a ride that a year or so I was scared of but z made me go on it anyway and it turned out I love it.  K. again didn't want to go on it and A. decided that she was going to throw up and couldn't go on it.  When we got up to the front of the line they took A. to the exit to wait and K. by this time had decided that maybe this would be a fun ride after all.  When we were sitting on the ride and the guy was checking out our seat belts the guy noticed K. was happy to go on the ride and tried to scare her!  It didn't work though, thank goodness!  When we shot in the air and felt the rush of going up I thought to myself, I hope K. isn't freaking out right now!  When we got off the ride K. was so excited!  That was her favorite ride!

When we got off the Rocket A. was ready to go home for not feeling good.  We called z's parents to come get her and walked her out to the pickup zone.  As it turns out this was part of the last good part of the day. 

We went back into the park with K. and hit a couple kids rides.  Right after that it started pouring hard!  We were right by the Terror Ride so we decided to go on it too since it's a covered ride.  Standing in line we got completely soaked once again.  When we were done with the Terror Ride we decided that it was too rainey so we left.

It was really crowded there and all the lines were long.  They went sort of quick but we didn't get to do nearly as many of the rides we wanted to.  Luckily z and I are going to bounce back next Friday with NO KIDS!!!  We're going to try out Wicked and whatever else we want to do.  I can't wait to not have kids wining to go on all the fun rides only to have them love them after they get off the ride.  What a bore!  Yay for next Friday!
