LAGOON WELCOMES US BACK



Who's excited for another year of Lagoon fun?! Well, we all were, but on our first day back on April 14th, no one seemed more excited than Miss Vivien. When she got her first official pass in her hot little hands she looked at it and FREAKED OUT ! "It is me! It is Vivi! Stella! It is Vivi!" The second thing that filled her with a thrill was having a stamp. I guess she remembered last year how she would go to Lagoon without a stamp like everyone else. And man, she was happy to have that stamp. (Sometimes in the car these days she will out of the blue ask me what happened to her stamp that has washed off. So cute.) Notice that second picture of the girls as we came in, Vivi is looking at her stamp...

We were able to go with Ava which was so fun. The girls went on some baby rides with us and that was fun for Vivi. Vivi is pretty much fearless with most rides, and she always thinks they are "So fun!" It was such a beautiful spring day with the tulips in full bloom. It was slightly chilly, but in the sun it was amazing and I loved just sitting in the sun and thinking about the fact that we had a whole year of Lagoon fun in our future. 















Our only other spring visit was a few weeks later on April 28th. And Brent shocked the world by expressing interest in joining us as we went to Lagoon. He offered to watch Vivi while Stella and I went on the bigger rides. It really didn't make any sense to pay for him to go one day and not to just get him a season pass, so we did it. And the whole moment of him walking from the parking lot, to getting his picture taken, to getting his stamp was just great. We were all excited. I do love having us all together, even though I know Brent basically doesn't like it. We had a fun day though. Stella and I did go on some big rides. Stella is finally tall enough to go on Jet Star and so we did. She was pretty scared, but she LOVED it of course. Still, Stella didn't really like being away from Vivi. She wanted to take Vivi on all of the rides and watch her enjoy all of these new adventures. Which of course just goes to show that Stella is pretty much the best big sister of all time guys.

I love that Vivi loves Lagoon. Before we got her in China, I warned Stella that Vivi would maybe not love the rides or all of the crowds. But apparently she is kind of a dare devil just like her awesome big sister.
