Lagoon

Lagoon is an amusement park about an hour and 20 minutes from our house. Although Ryan and I have lived here for 13+ years, we have never been. Honestly, having grown up near Disney World for me, and going often to Disneyland for Ryan, we both were pretty sure we'd be disappointed if we went to Lagoon.

When we learned that the summer company party was going to be at Lagoon, and that we would be able to go (last year we were out of town), we got excited! It may not be Disney, but if it is free and includes food, then it sounds good to us!

Joshua had a baseball game Saturday morning. As soon as he was done we left for Lagoon. Although we were on the late side, we got there in time for the Control4 barbecue at one of the pavilions at Lagoon. Of course the kids loved the popsicles, ice cream bars, and cookies for dessert!

this ride squirts water at you as you go around -- it was a cold day for this ride!

Elizabeth -- before we got soaked!

Benjamin and Nathan excited to ride the first roller coaster of the day

We spent the afternoon exploring the park. We usually split up: one parent with Joshua and Elizabeth riding the kid rides, and the other parent with Nathan and Benjamin doing the roller coasters. I was very pleased with how many rides they had that Elizabeth could go on! Nathan and Benjamin loved that there were so many roller coasters! Lagoon has a few things to learn from Disney about line management, but overall we had a great day!
