Nu Skin Lagoon Day

Just about every year that Leon has worked for Nu Skin, they have held their summer party at Lagoon Amusement Park. Now, this isn't your typical "Lagoon Day" that most employers do. Nu Skin actually reserves the whole park for just employees and their families. This means short lines!
At one point Leon took the older 3 boys off to do big rides, and Landon and I hung out in the Kiddie Land. I couldn't help think that this just might be the last year I will ever have a child who wants to ride these little boats. Landon loved it, but I think he was one of the biggest kids on the ride.
Leon and the boys rode "Rattlesnake Rapids" and got soaked. They were kind of irritated at me for not wanting to go on it with them, but since I only had a change of clothes for the kids, I wasn't willing to walk around the rest of the night in wet jeans. Call me a stick-in-the-mud, but I was a dry and warm one.
Of course, we had to ride the train.


As I mentioned Landon and I spent a lot of time together in Kiddie Land. Having a small child gives me the excuse to rides these types of rides - just my speed - without appearing creepy. If he grows at all through the year, he will probably be able to ride the big rides with the rest of the boys next year, and I'll have to suck it up and go with them - either that or bring some Dramamine.
Thanks, Nu Skin!

My kids just don't even know what Lagoon is. We have never been and, if I am totally honest, I have no desire to go. Guess I am not a "thrill-seeker". I might consider it if it was free and there were short lines. How nice of NuSkin?!?!

Did Leon win anything this year?

I'm with ya on the whole motion sick thing. I never used to be like that! I used to go on anything and everything, but last yr at Disneyland, I went on like 3 rides. None of the REALLY fun ones, either!

First of all..whoa, Camille made a comment?!?!? ;) (And I think we would have heard Leon's yell from here if he had won something, so I'm guessing that he didn't.) Second, sniff..sniff...we don't get to go anymore? :( Seriously, I'm glad you had a fun family trip together!
