...LaGoOn...

Dallin loves roller coasters and rides and would go on them all day if we let him. But we never wanted to bring him to Lagoon until he was tall enough to go on everything and not be stuck in kiddie land the whole day. Plus who is going to pay Lagoon prices to hang out in Kiddie Land? So anyways last week David got a discount pass from work and yesterday we were finally able to bring Dallin to Lagoon for the first time. He LOVED it!!!!! We left Logan with Amy all day so that we could just have a fun day with Dallin. It was a long 11 hours of going on rides but the time went by really quick and it was fun to just hang out with Dallin for the day. Its amazing how the older you get the more those rides make you want to puke lol

Dallins favorite rides were Wild Mouse and BomBora.. I think that we went at least 10 times on each of them if not more lol. But he loved all the rides and we went on pretty much everything there. There were still a few that he was not sure about :)



Here is David on wicked one of the rides Dallin was not going on :) He is the one hanging upside down in the front row on the right in the white shirt. And the bottom pic he is in the back row on the left going up that horrible hill of death lol






Waiting for the Train.





Dallin showing his scary face waiting to go on TerrorRide


And on BomBora after a while he wanted to go in his own bench. And then would ask us if we were proud when we got off ha ha

Waiting in line for the Bat
















David and Dallin on the front row of BomBora I sat out this time to take pics and they happened to get the front row. Plus you can only go on the same ride 4 times in like 15 min without wanting to puke.





After a while we stopped and had some lunch and let Dallin run thru the fountains.




So after lunch we were getting ready to start the rides again when one of the workers said "didn't it just get really quiet" well not really thinking anything of it we were like yeah sure. And that's when they said "the power is out" yes that's right the power went out at Lagoon not a good place for this to happen. Well not knowing how long the power was going to be out we just sat around with everyone else in the park and waited the first hour passed then an hour and a half and none of the workers seemed to know anything about what was going on. So we made our way to the front of the park when finally after 2 hours the power came back on. And after about 2.5 hours we were able to get back on the rides. And we found out that because of this everyone at the park gets to come back by aug 12 for FREE !!! Super sweet we get a whole other day at Lagoon for waiting around for 2 hours. I was so excited cuz there were still alot of rides that we didn't get to go on cuz we ran out of time. Problem is we are going on Vacation until Aug 10 so I hope that we can squeeze it in again.




Because of the powder outage we went to Pioneer Village and walked around looking at all the stuff that you normally don't look at so that was fun. I didn't realize how many old stores and displays they have there now. Here is Dallin the the old phone display trying to transfer power from the phone back to the rides lol




David and Dallin on the Tital Wave they are in the back row you can see Dallin to good lol



Dallins first time on Colossus.... They are on the second to last seats you cant see them that good but they are there. Dallin thought that it was awesome and when he got off he came running out the exit proudly saying " I peed my pants" lol yep that's right he peed his pants but it was just a little so no damage was done.


On the Wild MouseAnd the Sky Ride



Flying Aces





And the water slide that Dallin did not know how to lean into the water so every turn the water would go all the way over our head. We were soaked I was ringing out my pants.

More fun for the 24th....

After church on Sunday we packed up the car and went to the park for another bbq. And to have the kids play on the playground. They had so much fun running around together.

Now that Logan is walking he thinks that he is pretty tough. He loves to wrestle with Dallin.








I loved this picture that Dallin is all happy and Logan behind him has the most evil face lol

The kids enjoying there hot dogs.



Logan Loves to swing.















Dallin was so excited to be able to go down the slides with Logan



I love that Logan has a wood chip in his mouth lol And the huge scratch on his head happened at church that morning. He fell off the bench and smacked his head on the book holder. It was a goose egg the size of a golf ball and if it would have hit any harder it would have needed stitches again.. That boy is so accident prone.


























After the park we came home and Dallin did a few sparklers.





And we ended the day with some red white and blue cupcakes...
