Lagoon

The last few days I've been taking it easy trying to get over some tonsillitis. Don't worry, I'm feeling much better now. I was lying low on Sunday and decided to watch my favorite movie Pride and Prejudice. Kate watched some of it with me, and thought it was hilarious. She was telling Kirk today at lunch all about how funny Mrs. Bennet is. She was trying to quote some of the hilarious lines to him. Mrs. Bennet is so animated in the BBC version of the novel that Kate thought she was a puppet. The next thing I know Kirk is begging, and pleading to watch the movie. I just turned it on, and the two of them were so excited. Kirk has a big grinn plastered acrossed his face. I'm not sure if I should be proud of myself (after all how many four year olds are watching a six our BBC mini series), or if this is a sign that I'm seriously way to obsessed about this movie, and book. I think when your four year old boy is begging to watch a Jane Austin film it's a sign that I've maybe taken things a bit to far with my love a 17th century era films. They are watching it right now, I'm curious to see how long he will hang with it. I know Kate loves it, but that's because she likes to watch the actor's dance.

Well that was just an odd side note. I wanted to remember this for when Kirk becomes a teenager. But we really have had a fun month so far. Last week we bounced back to Lagoon. the kids had a ball. They loved the rides. We didn't bother buying Benjamin a pass this time since he hated the rides last time we took him. The only one he tolerated was the cute little boat ride. We bought some tickets for a few dollars, and let him go on that one ride. He had a lot of fun toddeling around while Dan took the two older kids on the rides. Dan and I were able to go back in the evening for a little date night. It was fun to go just the two of us, I felt like I was in high school again. Lagoon really would be my ideal torture. I told Dan you couldn't pay me to do some of the crazy rides there. I can do roller coasters as long as I keep my eyes closed and they don't go upside down. Any ride that goes upside down, or up and down, or spins reallyt fast is a no no for me, which of couse constitutes most of the ride selection at Lagoon. We decided to do rattle snake rapids, the log ride, jet star, the sky ride, white roller coaster, haunted house, and the spider. I was actually really proud of myself. I didn't get sick! Dan did the rocket, wicked, and colossus by himself. Here are some pictures of our fun day at lagoon!

Thanks Mom and Dad for taking us a few weeks ago. We were able to bounce back and have a wonderful day! The kids are already excited to go in August when lifetime will be doing a family day there!
