Summer Fun

We are having a great time so far this summer. First, we ventured to Lagoon with Chris' office. Doesn't everyone look thrilled to be riding the train? This was a little later on in the day, so we were a little tired and worn out. Tyler is our little Geronimo. He was game to go on just about anything he could. He loved the Wild Mouse and the Flying Aces. We also had a blast on the Tilt-A-Whirl. I dragged my sister along for the day so we could do the twisty-turnie rides. Chris gets motion sick and can't do a whole lot. He occupied Sam on the Sky Ride for about a hour because it stopped and started so many times. I took her once and I was freakin out. She could've fallen through the bars easily. I was fine if we kept moving because that meant we were almost there, but when it would stop, so would my heart. I had a death grip on her the whole time. Sam had a good time with Aunt Steph. It really was a fun time for all. Steph and I ventured on a ride called the Samuri. I literally thought I was going to throw-up and then DIE! I was so scarred. I couldn't hit another ride for almost an hour afterwards. I think that's a sign you're getting old: you can't go on the intense rides over and over again.



The next day we went to the ward camp out. We were pretty much spent by that time. It was somewhat of a chore to get everyone ready, but we thought the kids would have a great time. They really like to get dirty. Chris and I don't mind it either, I guess. We explored, visited and tried to sleep. I think I got a total of 2 hours all night just because. The kids and Chris slept fine. I think I've learned that whenever I'm NOT sleeping in my cozy bed at home, I need to take something to knock me out. Otherwise, I don't sleep. It was a fun time for all. We especially liked the tower o' cobbler. Quite impressive. Nick and Mark would've kept piling them up if there had been more to put on. Thanks to those who organized it. I know it can be a lot of work.
