A couple of weeks ago we decided to load up the kids at 7:30 at night and go to Lagoon with some free passes we aquired. It was a bad sign when I was yawning on the walk INTO Lagoon from the parking lot, but we ended up having a really good time. We just had tickets for a few of the "classic" rides, so we split the spinning rides in half and Jed went on half of them with Ollie and I took the other half with him. Avery was able to go on the Merry-Go-Round and the train, which she loved. Oliver had been wanting to go to Lagoon for a long time, so we decided to seize the opportunity and not worry about bedtime for one night. It was a great family time and even though it was short, we managed to get the whole experience, included the nauseous feeling when you are all done (me and Jed anyway, I think the kids were fine!) Oliver decided his favorite ride was Tilt-a-whirl, and ever since we went he has been setting up mock-carnival games at home, complete with small, medium, large, and X-large prizes to win!
Sorry to talk about nausea so much in this post, but the next notable thing to blog about is the sotmach flu that everyone except Avery got. It had the absolute worst timing as Jed was working overtime that week and my family was in town from Colorado at the same time. Needless to say, we did not get as much time with our extended family as we had hoped - only Avery and I were able to go over and see them on Sunday for the evening. But the little bit we got with them was wonderful! It is so surreal to see my cousins whom I really knew better when I was a kid as full-fledged adults, going to college, holding down jobs, getting tattoos, and doing other adult stuff!
