Mini Vacation

Sorry no pictures. I am a slacker but here is an update to read.

Last weekend we went on a mini vacation with our family! We never have the funds to go on a real vacation like we want so this one had to do for this year. My sister, Cody, and her family went to Lagoon over the weekend for a dance competition and invited us. We took her up on the offer and made a weekend out of it!

On friday we went to Delta to spend the night. Saturday morning we got up and headed to Lagoon taking my brothers kids with us. We had SO MUCH FUN!!! We spent all day at Lagoon watching my Nieces dance and enjoying the rides. What a blast! Sunday morning we got up and went to the Zoo! Ty LOVES animals so we couldn't wait to take him to see them live and up close. Too bad the Hogle Zoo sucks. I was not impressed but I don't think the kids knew the difference.

Here are 15 things I learned over the weekend.

1. I forgot how much fun Lagoon can be.
2. If you give your teenager a little bit of freedom at Lagoon he will have an absolute blast!
3. If your 3 year old is being brave do not freak him out and take him on a scary ride.
4. My kids LOVE to be with their cousins.
5. My 5 year old daughter is a dare devil. She rode all the kid rides and a few of the adult rides. She even went on rides that she didn't care for just cause her cousins wanted to go. I was completely impressed by her!
6. It feels good to find and return a lost child to his Mother.
7. The Hogle Zoo sucks right now. They don't have very many fun animals.
8. My sister can be brave with a little prodding.
9. I LOVE to spend time with my family!!
10. Children have complete trust in their parents. It is wonderful to realize how much they love and trust you.
11. It brings me COMPLETE JOY to watch my kids have so much fun. They had permanent smiles at Lagoon
12. My husband still makes me laugh! I love him dearly.
13. No matter where you are it feels like home if you are with family.
14. I still love the classic carnival rides. Tilt a whirl, scrambler and bumper cars are my all time favorite!
15. It's refreshing to relax and enjoy a few days of pure fun with my family!
