Nicole had gotten some tickets from work, so Jake and Rhian worked out a plan. If they weren't going to be able to come up, we'd get the tickets. Well we got the tickets. During a crazy night, I ended up having Bindy meet up with Nicoles coworker to pick them up for me.
Bindy drove them over to us later that night, where Jake invited her and Brett and Skylee to go with us to Lagoon the next day. We we went to Costco to pick up tickets and up with them around 1:30 pm. We stopped for lunch. And got to the park at about 2:30 pm. We took the kids on a few rides. Then headed to Rattlesnake Rapids. Where Bindy and I sat out with the littles, and Brett and Jake took the older girls on it. While they were gone, I let the kids run around, and even got an icee for them.
Afterwords we met up, and the guys once again headed off to ride rides with the girls, and Lizzy had fallen asleep in the stroller so we let William run around the water fountain in the front area for like an hour.
After an hour we met up with the guys, Lizzy woke up. Jake took Lizzy to go ride rides, and I went with Brett and Bindy, Sydney, Skylee, and William on some rides. He once again hated the rides. The only ride he went on was a jeep ride, that I rode with him and Sydney. And the whole time I kept rubbing his head (like I do when he is upset) and that would calm him for a second before he'd start screaming from the bouncing of the ride again. After that I put him in the stroller. The girls went on the tea cup ride, and I left William with Bindy, While I went in search of Jake and Lizzy. I got to watch them ride the lady bug ride, and see the joy on Lizzys face was just an amazing moment for me.
After this I went to find Bindy again to make sure William was ok. We went to go get food after this. Sydney and Skylee ate great, and then spent some time riding rides around our table while we tried to get Lizzy and William to eat. Finally I had Jake go buy some milk, and it still took some time after that before William fell asleep. Jake took all 3 girls on the little dragon ride. Kids rode a few rides. After that I am not sure where everyone went, because I ended up taking the kids on the train ( which William cried at first, but I think me holding him really helped. Also Lizzy was so excited she kept leaning out of the train and I kept having to remind her not to do that because I didn't want her falling out.)
We left for home shortly after all of this.
It really was a fun day, and I am really glad we got to go a second time this year.
