Lagoon, Transmissions and Fun, Oh my!










We made our annual trip to Lagoon this weekend. I think I can only handle one trip to Lagoon a year. Kevin's work sponser's a free day so that's why we go, it's free, but for some reason we ended up spending about $80 for our "free" trip to Lagoon. It seemed like it was going to be a good day so we set off about 10am, Noah was ready to ride rides and Kristopher was just excited because Noah was. Once we got inside the gates it started to cloud up, it was cold and also started to rain a bit. Well we didn't really think of bringing sweatshirts for the boys so we ended up buying them ($23 dollars a peice). Then I really didn't want to haul around a cooler( it seems every other year we've had a bigger stroller it pyle crap in) so we decided to buy lunch at Arby's, $30 dollars later we were all full. Lesson learned this year: Be prepared for anything, bring lunch and if all else fails we live in freaking Bouniful, we should have just drove home and gone back! All in all the boys had fun. Kristopher enjoyed every ride, except for maybe rattlesnake rapids. After it warmed up(which it ended up being a great day) we decided to try and not get wet and go on rattle snake rapids, well Kristopher ended being the most wet and all he said when we got off was "i'm cold." I felt really bad, good thing we had the sweatshirt! Noah rode just about everything except for the Colosus and Wicked, me and him will do it next year, or he said he'd do it when he was 32! Kevin is not much of a rider so him and Kris hung out alot but they left at about 5pm and me and Noah stayed and rode some more until about 9pm. Fun day.

Well the day after Lagoon (Sunday) the Transmission decided to crap out on us in the Blazer, for the second time, in three years...... happy times. So I don't think we will be going on an extended vacation this year, maybe a few weekend camping trips but that's about it. We were going to find a way to visit Grandma and Grandpa Romanosky in Michigan, most likely we were going to drive but I don't think that will happen this year. I'm really trying not to freak out about it, s*&% happens and you've got to roll with the punches. Everything will be OK, at least that's what I keep trying to tell myself.
