We went to Lagoon today and no one cried. No one whined. No one voiced much discord at all. The kids even tried lots of rides and seemed
to have a great time. Levi went on Puff the Magic Dragon for the first time (he's ducking next to Erin but said it was fun):
The kids also rode on the airplanes, the boats, the Train, the sky ride, and the ferris wheel. This is a pretty HUGE breakthrough because last year, and the year before, they couldn't ride a ride without one of them bursting into tears and screaming/shrieking at the top of their lungs. Today was just incredible.
Erin and I each took turns riding Wicked. That was quite an experience for both of us. Oddly enough, we could both fit our girth into the seats comfortably, but got a pretty good scare because the attendants told us both that the lap bar hadn't latched. No big deal, right? Not exactly:
Yeah, that yellow tower is probably 6 or 7 stories high and gravity forces you forward against your lap bar the entire time you're basically free-falling downward. That same lap bar that the attendant had told us hadn't latched completely. I've never prayed so hard not to die in my entire life. I may just try it again if I ever get around to losing 130 pounds or so.

Yeah, it was pretty amazing.
Glad you had a good time. No whining and crying? That's a red-letter day in my book!
And Levi keeps saying "I want to go to the Lagoon"!
