A Saturday at Lagoon

This past Saturday, we spent all day at Lagoon with my whole family.  We had a great time.    Both of my parents were able to come and they took Clara for me while I went and rode rides with the older kids.

We had such a good time!  Nathan and I felt a little old because we kept getting a little sick to our stomachs on some of the rides.

Next time I go to Lagoon however, I am going to remember to bring:

1. Cheap plastic ponchos from the $1 store.  Some of the rides closed when it started to rain, but a lot did not and the lines were super short.
2. Jackets (hoodies are preferable) for everyone, just leave them in the car in case we want them.  It got a little chilly after the rain, plus we were a little damp.
3. Water bottles, they can be refilled at the drinking fountains.
4. Closed-toe shoes and socks for everyone.  Some of the rides will not allow open-toed shoes.  We learned this one the hard way a couple years ago.
5. Have the kids bring some of their own money to spend on stuff they want (carnival games, treats).
