Thursday was our "big spender" day. We went to a theme park called the Lagoon. I really love this theme park because not only does it have all kinds of rides, but it also has an outdoor waterpark as well. How fun is that!!?? You get all sweaty from the rides, you just walk over and cool off on the waterslides. Awesome. So off we went. Rides first. Now, I am not a "rides" person. AT ALL. Just the thought of spinning and dropping makes we a little uneasy in the tummy. Luckily, Josh and Merynn were tall enough to go on most of the rides by themselves and they were also allowed to take the two younger ones on the rides they wanted to go on. So, I lucked out. It is more fun for me to sit and watch them have fun anyways. Nathan was a real trooper and went on a lot of the rides with the kids as well, which was also a fun thing for me to watch. I did go on most of the "kiddieland" rides. (yes, I realize I am lame)But we had a blast. Smiles were on everyone. The waterpark was equally fun and they have some very unique waterslides that the two older kids couldn't get enough of.
For about two years now, Merynn has been asking to go on a ferris wheel. Not sure what put the thought in her mind but it has been something she would talk about ALL the time. It just so happens that there is a HUGE ferris wheel at the Lagoon, so after we did all the rides, and all the waterslides, we ended the day with a ferris wheel ride. Nothing but pure contentment radiated off Merynn's face as she sat through that ferris wheel ride. The middle picture I posted doesn't even do the moment justice. A tear actually crept down my cheek for my daughter and the fact that one of her wishes actually came to life. So,so magical.
