What a Fun Day!

On Tuesday, we went to a giant amusement park just north of Salt Lake City which is called Lagoon. There are rides and activities for every age group as you can see in the pictures.

Hannah and Jaxon ride a boat in the same little pond their daddies rode in when they were little. (I think the boats are actually new, but the pond is the same.)

Jaxon and Hannah were riding the little rides at first, but soon were riding the bigger rides with everybody else.

Lauren driving her green convertible.

Connor and Parker are doused after they ride the river raft. But they protected the snakes they won!

Jaxon is so proud of the bear his daddy won him on the basketball shoot. He says he's going to get a Phoenix Suns' uniform so he can match his bear!

Sydney, Lauren, Jaxon, Jenna, Tyson, and Hannah wait to get on the Atlantis ride.

Parker, Connor, Bracken, and Kade loved the miniature golf.

Jaxon loves to golf with his daddy.

Did Bracken just make a hole-in-one?

Whoops! I think Grandpa just missed a putt.

This was one of the scariest rides! It is called "Wicked," and all of the adults (except scardey-cats Grandpa and Grandma) plus the older children rode it! I was so impressed! This is Angie with Connor and Kade.

Sydney wants to make sure her mother is okay after the big ride. Alison was laughing the whole time.

Grandpa gives Kade and Parker a big hug.

After lunch, the kids had to have Dippin' Dots ice cream.

Alison, Anne, John, and Hannah on the Jet Star.

I don't think there was one big ride Parker and Connor missed in the whole park. They were ready to try anything!

This was probably the scariest ride of all--they got inside a huge ball which just basically threw them everywhere. There was a camera inside to see their reaction.

I will only post the "after" picture. It was pretty scary "during" the ride.

Now Grandpa George decided he needed to go on one scary ride today. (I was a little smarter this time! I learned after the adventure at Busch Gardens that I was getting way too old for this!) Anyway, here he joins Christie (Anne's sister), Anne, and Cameron for the Rocket. You get in chairs and drop about 200 feet. They are all smiles here, before the ride.

Anne does her deep-breathing exercises to calm herself on the way up.

After the ride--let's just say it was a "hair-raising" adventure!

After 10 hours in the park, we all went home. No one had a hard time sleeping this night!
