Birthday Lagoon Fun

Brooks turned the big O-N-E on June 4th. We started celebrating the day by making chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast. He loved them!


He went down for a nap and then we were off to LAGOON! Needless to say, Lagoon's not that cool anymore since I practically lived there the summer after 9th grade and worked there the next summer. I do have to admit, it is fun to take kids there. Chris' work rented out the entire park. It was just Overstock.com employees and families.

The first ride we hit up was the Terror Ride. Chris was convinced Brooks was going to freak out. He settled in between the two of us and loved the flashing lights, loud sounds and all the scary things. He didn't cry until the ride stopped and we started to get out. It was pretty hilarious.

We tried the Marry-go-round. I was really surprised he didn't love it. He got really nervous as it started to go but did okay after that.

My favorite ride as a little kid was PUFF so we headed there next. Brooks was excited waiting in line but was pretty indifferent on the ride.


Brooks loves water. Actually that is an understatement. He's obsessed with water! We changed him into his swim suit and let him play in the fountain. He was seriously going nuts the whole time. A high pressure stream of water would spray him right in the face and he'd gasp then keep on going. There's a video below (not yet), it's not the best but catches quite a few of his screams.


He was very worn out and loved cuddling his dad.

It was a memorable day. Lots of laughs and giggles from the cutest little boy!
