Lagoon Video--Getting Ready to Ride

Too bad you can't enlarge this video and really see their faces...anticipation brings out the cutest expresssions.

Lagoon Video--Clara!

Excited little Clara and she wasn't even on the ride. She was just this happy most of the day. Lots of mothers in Kiddie Land stopped to admire her.

Lagoon Video--Bulgy

First ride of the day...The Classic, Bulgy the Whale!

Lagoon Video--Sydney Diving In

This video is short but priceless. By the end of the day, Sydney was no longer waiting for the attendants to put her on the rides. With a little support from Talmage, she just dives in head first!!

The Day At Lagoon!

WHAT A DAY! We arrived at Lagoon shortly after opening at 11:00am and trudged home at closing at 10:00pm. That's 11 hours for Laur, Paula, Briton, Robin, Talmage, Sydney and Clara. I don't know how a 4 year-old, 2-1/2 year-old and 5 month-old made it...or two grandparents for that matter, but the kids were amazing. We kept thinking we would take them home and let Briton and Robin go for the roller coasters, but the little ones were having so much fun and being so good, that we just kept going, putting T and Syd on all the Kiddie Land attractions for the 2nd or 3rd time, strollering Clara, and taking turns so Briton, Robin and Paula could have fun on the grown-up rides. It was a good time for all and probably the most fun Laur and I have had at Lagoon since our own kids were small. It was pure pleasure watching the grandkids enjoy the rides. Hooray for Lagoon!
