We are finally home from our INSANELY crazy summer trip! We must have been crazy when we planned it, but it was sooooo much fun! It's just going to take the rest of the summer to recooperate I think!
So after arriving late on the 3rd, we woke up early to go and meet my brother and his amazing family at Lagoon. We had 7 kids and the 2 of us and headed back into the car. For us, coming from La Grande, we had already had a TON of driving.... but when in Utah, do as the Utahns do!!
We had so much fun at Lagoon. It had been years since we had been. In fact the last time we had been Spencer was 1. We took him on the Ferris Wheel and while at the top of the ginormous thing, Spencer decided to DROP his binkie! All we could do was watch as it fell making the "ting, ting..." sound as it hit every surface on the ferris wheel going down. So we were out to make some new and improved memories of the place of fun!!
The weather was wonderfully bareable and things were not crowded at all!
First shot of the day!! All excited, then the twins saw a ride out of the corner of their eye... So much bigger than what we get at the County Fair!!
Andy spending all his hard earned money to get us in!!!

We were quite the group running around the park together. My favorite thing about Utah is that you don't get stopped everywhere by people asking "Are these ALL your kids?" Really makes it nice!
My favorite part about this shot was the maintenance guy from Lagoon that jumped in the pic with us!! Dallin was VERY confused:)
Rattlesnake Rapids was a BIG hit with our group!!! The sign reads: "You will get wet, you may get soaked." Didn't read that part til the 2nd time on! It Should read..."You will get soaked, You may want to rethink!!!"
After getting soaked!!! Funny boy, he did NOT like being that wet!! Even though he laughed during the whole ride!!
These guys didn't mind getting soaked!!! In fact they jumped back on right after getting off.
Their SCARED faces!!!
The two BIG boys on the Colosus. Spencer is so not the one who rides the roller coasters, but the peer pressure to do so was great!! Then come to find out Talyon isn't either!! Great job boys, it was fun wasn't it!!
Love this shot, it so makes my stomach hurt!!!
The brothers figuring out what is next... Actually Dallin just loved looking at the map!
There is always something to climb on there. This was a neat big ball that rolled and had water coming off of it.The bumper cars were a hit!! For everyone!
The two monkeys climbing... Does a normal mom tell the kids to get down from there? Or "Wait, I want a picture of that!"?
End of the day... Everyone was getting so tired! Legs were tired too!
The highlight of the day was this tender hearted little guy. We got into the car for the long ride home with a bunch of exausted kids wishing they had gotten ONE MORE RIDE... and Dallin pipes up..."Thank you Mom and Dad, for taking us to Lagoon." Melts my heart when the 3 year old is the one who is grateful and happy to do something fun!! Love that kid! What a fun fun day!
