Softies?

Dan and I went to Lagoon today without the kids. We planned on taking them back for a few hours since we promised it to Mason for being potty trained, but he said he wanted to go swimming instead, so that party is tomorrow. We had a blast going on the 'big kid' rides, even though we found out we're getting a little 'soft' in our old age and our stomachs can't handle the spinning that they used to! We loved all the rides and it was a bit upsetting when the queasiness set in! We were fine (okay, maybe a little tipsy) through the Roller Coaster, Wild Mouse, and Colossus, but by after the Wild Mouse we were wondering what the heck we were trying to prove! Wicked was awesome even though I swear it gave me whiplash! Then we were really stupid and went on the Screamer (my idea), and that did us in! We were both done for a while. So, we road the sky coaster a couple of times for a break. Then we tried the Tidal Wave and almost needed a trash can afterward! Seriously???? We came to the consensus that we're getting old and then realized why our parents never wanted to take us to theme parks. What can't a big scoop of chocolate ice cream fix? We relaxed in Pioneer Village and enjoyed our treat. We took a couple of photos of the train collection (Why didn't we take Mason there? He would have loved it) before heading to the log ride . . . that would for sure be a ride we could handle! It didn't hurt that there were only about 4 super slow turns and one short drop! We wanted to leave on a high note, so we went on Wicked one more time and it was, well . . . wicked cool! Dan was a little more brave than me and I think he kept his eyes open for most of the rides. On most rides I couldn't force my eyes open until about half way through the ride. I've turned into such a wimp! There were a few other rides that looked really fun, but we would have had to take a bag on with us :-) We'll have to try those first next time.



Melissa was so nice to pick the kids up for us. They had fun playing out back in the sprinkler. I was able to get a photo of Tristyn doing the sign for 'more' and also her 'where did it go?' or 'I don't know' gesture (elbows in palms up). We also snapped a photo of her cute belly button at Melissa's request . . . she's a bit obsessed with it!

Oh, Mason also had fun dressing Dan up in the pirate hat and patch that he got at a birthday party yesterday. He loves it when we wear the costume, but doesn't like to wear it so much himself.

It's back to the grind tomorrow . . . for me anyway! Dan is golfing three rounds tomorrow--what a cushy life!
