Lagoon

Over the Summer Will and I went to Lagoon with my family. We had a blast! It was the perfect day to go because it would sprinkle rain every other hour so we all stayed pretty cool. Will has only gone to Lagoon once before when he was younger so there were a lot of new rides for him to try out. Example: Wicked!!! This ride drops you at an almost 90 degree angle so you think your gonna die but you dont, you just peed your pants a little.


Karen, Mom, Mike, Tyler and Katie just getting off Wicked!

Will is getting ready to go on the Collosus. A classic.


Will didn't go on the Samuri. He refused. The Samuri is one of my favorites, as long as you get an end seat. Oh Yeah!


We ate lunch and dinner in the park. My mom made this yummy greek spinach and pasta salad. That's what's great about Lagoon. Just bring a cooler stuffed with food and snacks and a blanket and you don't have to worry about anyone stealing your stuff.


Me and Will riding on the skii lift to other side of the park. Another classic of Lagoon.


Karen and Mike


Another classic of Lagoon is the super cheesy haunted house. I don't know why, but the haunted house has always smelled like burnt cotten candy that permiates the Lagoon entrance. I remeber that smell as a kid and have always looked forward to it when I go again. I can see the terror in Will's face!

Who doesn't love riding on the ship! Another childhood favorite!


Sammy and Jackson going on one last kiddie ride before the park closes. They had a blast! They loved every single ride and didn't cry once. Boys are so awesome. They are made for adventure!



My all time favorite is the Rocket: Re-entry. This ride gives me butterfly’s just thinking about it! I went on this one 3 times. The Re-entry slowly pulls you up to the top of its 217 foot tower and when you least expect it, it drops you! Oh Yeah!


Katie and Tyler getting ready to go on my favorite ride


We all had so much fun. I can't wait to go on another fun trip with my family. I would have to say that my favorite memory is when Katie, Tyler, Kelly, Will, and I went on Raddle Snake Rappids. This is a water ride which means your gonna get wet but we didn't think we were gonna get that wet so we went for it. The entire time we all tried not to get wet. Katie, Kelly, and I were screaming and Tyler and Will were laughing like crazy! We were all standing up on the ride trying to not get wet and tried to avoid the waterfalls. We were all dripping wet head to toe by the end of the ride. Best memory ever! I wish we had a picture.
