Last week, Bryce’s company treated everyone to a day at Lagoon, our local amusement park. We had such a fantastic time! Easton got to spend the day with Grandma Brenda–we figured he would be much happier crawling around her house than riding in his stroller all day. This made it so that Bryce and I could go on lots of rides with the kids. We really had a blast! I was blown away by how Amelie and Calder were totally fearless. If they were tall enough to go on a ride, they rode it!
On the train. Bryce and I thought Calder's look was so classic. Love that boy!

Amelie loved going on this big wooden roller coaster. It's one of my favorites, too. Don't look for us in the picture--just got this one online.
This was another fun one that both the kids loved. It twisted and turned just like you were getting sucked into a whirlpool or something. And it played Beach Boys music while we rode. Pretty fun!
The ferris wheel! I will admit, I am not super fond of heights. Roller coasters go so fast--you hardly even know how high you are. But this ferris wheel was high and sllloooow! They paused the ride a couple times while we were at the very top. I tried to hold it together for the kids, but I was dying a little on the inside.
The kids were oblivious to the height! They had a marvelous time!

Calder collapsed 2 seconds after we got back to the car. A day of walking and riding exciting rides can do that to ya!
We just had such a great time. The lines were awesome (we walked right on to lots of rides), the day wasn’t too hot, and because HandStands was paying for our entrance and our dinner, it was cheap to boot! It’s fun having kids old enough to enjoy this kind of thing now. Last year, we just watched them do kiddie rides. This year was a totally different experience. Thanks, HandStands!
