Frightmares At Lagoon!

Saturday morning I told the kids to dress warm for Lagoon.  (I brought extra clothes for everyone!) I told Keala to wear a warmer jacket - she ended up with my 'extra' shirt.  (And Kai ended up wearing the 'extra' shirt I TOLD him to wear in the first place!) I still don't get how kids don't listen to their mothers!

But as soon as the rides started - everyone was all smiles. (And we KINDA forgot how cold it was!)

Brent and I lobbied for which rides we were and were NOT doing with the kids. We both suckered each other into at least one ride we didn't want to do... This was the one he didn't want to do. (I got stuck on a spinning ride - it was the first and last one of the day for me!)

Brent recieved free tickets earlier this week for Lagoon.

I had been wanting to take the kids all summer and never did.

I was so glad we were able to do it this Halloween weekend!

Once the sun came out it was the perfect day, warm and beautiful!

This trip was the first time Kai, Keala, and Sam had ever been to Lagoon.

Meeja had sinus surgery this week so we offered to bring Sam to give her a little 'R and R'.

This was the first trick-or-treat maze of the day, but not the last!

We stayed here in 'toddler' land for most the afternoon... It was a blast!

(We finally got Kai to ride some rollercoasters for once!)

After too many 'spinning' rides, Kai chose to sit this one out.  Keala and Sam were all smiles until...

The ride got stuck! Keala started crying and mom started laughing. I couldn't help it! Kai was standing next to me saying "mom, its not nice to laugh".  After a few minutes they finally got the ride working again.

The kids were asked if they wanted to do it again... Of course they did!

Yes, we did ALL the toddler rides! Why not!

Brent and I sat and relaxed while the kids ran from ride to ride.

Yes, I cut my hair. Don't worry, 'some' people didn't notice either!

These girls were so cute! (I have no idea who that other girl is!) But she was adorable!

 They all were so excited to try everything out. It was nice that this was new for each of them!

Keala got to trick-or-treat these witches. They were really sweet to all the kids.

We also found another maze were the little kids could trick-or-treat in different rooms.

Some rides became our 'favorites'!

Keala loved hearing me yell at her from the ground as she went around and around.

On their second time around Keala instructed me to stop kissing Brent so I could keep yelling at her. Well, ok then!

The train ride had the longest wait of the day.

However, Brent said it'd be worth it to see the second best zoo in Utah.

(Doesn't Utah only have 2 zoo's?)

It turned out to be such a beautiful day!

Some of the smells weren't so beautiful... but the zoo WAS impressive!

We got a snack at 'Dippin' Dots' and coincidentally a show started right where we were. It was fun to watch. (Warning to all those aspiring to eat Dippin' Dots one day... you're taking your life into your own hands!)

Whats that behind you honey?

Aside from snacks, rides, trick-or-treating, and posing for pictures... we had a GREAT day!

This is the best picture I've got of Brent's hunting trip last weekend.

Somehow I don't see any hunting going on.  But we're supposed to believe they really do hunt!
