Lagoon

This weekend Kodie decided to participate in a dance competition at Lagoon.

So we packed up and pulled the trailer down, stopping at my mom's house Thursday and then leaving Friday afternoon to Lagoon. We rented an RV spot at the Lagoon campground. Devan, Leslie, and their family, because Marley competed also. Bruce and Layne Crockett, and Jesse and Marsha Dye also decided to come along for support and some fun away from home.

On Friday the weather was perfect, Parker crawled around on the grass at our camp spot, the girls went for walks, and we even cooked out side.

( Isn't he so cute in his new hat?)

But Saturday turned into something else.
It was pouring rain starting first thing in the morning, making it horrible conditions for a dance competition. But they always say that the show must go on. So we did. We bundled up bought umbrella's and ponchos, and walked into the park at 8am to prepare for the dancing.


(We are so glad you were able to come enjoy this with us.)


And then it was our turn....

Kodie did a great job and had a lot of fun despite the weather.

Paige on the other hand was a little board.

Marley's class also did very well and there are also a couple of girls in our ward that danced in her group. Madison Batchelor, and Tierra Swensen. It was fun to see them also. It was like one big family reunion, we saw all kinds of people we knew all day long.

Jared and I took the kids back to the trailer fixed lunch, and tried to get a little time to pass because it was of coarse still raining. And when Jared had had enough of sitting around he talked me into getting ready and going out to the rides. We left the kids with Jesse and Marsha for a couple of hours and ventured out into the rain. We went to the ride Wicked first and whooooa... I was not prepared for that. It scared the crap out of me but I am still here. Then of coarse the Colossus, the Spider, the Bat, just to name a few. Then when we were soaked from head to toe we headed back to the trailer to change and take care of the kids until the rain let up.

I think it was around 3 or maybe 4 when the weather finally decided to cooperate.

So we got the kids, and even Jesse and Marsha decided to head out for a walk around the park.

We took them to the Lady Bug hop, the kids swings, Puff the Magic Dragon, the mini Tidal Wave, Helicopters, etc.

Jared decided he'd take Parker on this one, he didn't like it too much but he wasn't screaming either, I think he was just a little unsure about what was going on.

We also hung out a little with the Wright family

This ride was the Bat and it ended up being Kodie and Marley's favorite one there. I think they went on this ride at least a dozen times.

Devan and Marley held Parker while we went on the train ride.

And by the end of the day Parker was so sick of riding in a stroller while Jared went on the Colossus a couple more times I let him out to wander.

I think he really wanted out of there, so we sent him and Paige back to the trailer with Jesse and Marsha again for the last hour or so. Kodie was so much fun this year she is starting to like some of the older kids rides and was able to run around a little bit more on her own.

Over all I think everyone enjoyed them selves despite the rain. We had fun and the kids are all ready talking about the next time we go.
