Lagoon

We went to Lagoon last weekend for the Stampin' Up! company party. It was crowded and hot, but we had a lot of fun. It was the first time I had been since I was in high school, and although a lot is the same (the old roller coaster is still my favorite ride, the log ride had the longest line, and we ended the day on Dracula's Castle) I still couldn't help but notice how much difference the Lagoon experience is for a mom vs a teenager....

• I used to be able to ride the Scrambler over and over again, now I feel sick on all the rides that spin around.
  
• I used to be able to be able to stick a few dollars in my back pocket - and that's all I had to carry. Now I have to carry a camera, cell phone, credit cards, sunscreen, water bottles, plus all of everyone else's stuff.
• I also have to make sure that everyone is wearing sunscreen, well hydrated, and not hungry.
  
• Maybe it was just me, but the lap bars and seat belts on all the rides sure seam a lot tighter than they used to. :)

It wasn't all bad though. It was so fun to see the smiles and feel the excitment of the kids.

And, as a teenager, one of the goals of going to Lagoon was to find all the cute guys. Now I have my own! (and, we totally made out in Dracula's Castle!)

Here are a few of my favorite photos of the day:
