ARUP LAGOON TRIP

Steve's wonderful work gave everyone free tickets to Lagoon this past week (good thing, since it is now $35 just to get in). I first want to really thank my AUNT SHERRI FOR WATCHING ANDY. She took Andy for a couple of hours so Steve and I could ride the big kids ride for a little bit. THANKS FOR MAKING IT SO WE COULD HAVE A BLAST SHERRI!!!!!I remember the good old days of a "14 year old" at Lagoon. Go there to hang out, maybe come back with a boyfriend. They really have added some fun new rides since those days I must say. The favorite is definitely the new one WICKED. You go straight up, and then straight down then zigzag all around. SO SCARY. So good. Spider was pretty cool too. I really just loved all the new rides. I forgot that I have a little fear of heights. Still managed to go on all the rides. It was the perfect day for the Lagoon--a little overcast, so the weather was just wonderful and I think it scared people off. We only had to wait in line for Wicked. All the other rides we just got in. It was so great!!!























Steve's work was providing a lunch, so Steve wanted Andy there with us to "show her off". Sherri was so great to just bring her right up there so she could be with us. Andy was so much fun to have.








She loved the Carousel, which really surprised me. So, Steve and each took turns riding with her and by her. We also went on the train and saw all the animals which she, of course, loved. Toward the end of our day we decided to see if we could take her on the HUGE Ferris Wheel. While in line, dear little gal fell asleep on her daddy's shoulders.
She has never done that before...we must have worn her out. I thought it was so cute, I couldn't handle it.


Overall, we truly had a blast at Lagoon and all of us wore ourselves out. I am now sick I think from it. Is it worth the $35 dollars? I don't think anything is worth that, but we would go on a discount day again and next time do Lagoon-a-beach! Although, I recommend going on a cloudy day---way cooler and way less people!!

I love that she fell asleep in line on his shoulders, cutest pic! I don't know if I'll ever go to Lagoon. Way too expensive and I'm too cheap. Looks like you had a lot of fun though!

Lucky! Free tickets??!! It's actually $43 each ticket........we were just there too. We still had to pay $30 each. Way too expensive. If we ever go again I'm not bringing baby....I want to ride some of those fun rides! That picture of Andy sleeping on daddy is so precious!!! Glad you had fun!

Such great memories. I loved that place as a kid. I bet I even ran some of those rides while you were boyfriend hunting on them. I love the carousel pics and of course the sweet sleepy one.

Looks like a fun day! Andy really is such a doll! Your momma said Blakeney reminded her of Andy and I can see how that's true. They have a few of the same features. Glad you got in for free! They have half off passes at Deseret Book--I may have to go get some cuz I'd like to go for my birthday...
