Lagoon 2018

Remember previous advice about Lagoon trips.  The 24th of July is the best day for this adventure.  Being there when the gates open is the best time to start.  Front row parking, short lines to get in, and not as many strollers to avoid.

We caught the early flight without any problems.  Car rental when smoothly the "Mystery Car" didn't turn out so well.  It was a compact and a little squishy.  First stop breakfast at ODenny's (this one will have to change)  The food wasn't very good and grumbling about the menu choices requires a change for next year.  One more stop for water & treats we were the 2nd car in line for parking.

Only one smile in the group.

Second ride
"The Roller Coaster"
Much rougher and creaky than last year.  My back will hurt for days and my head will recover sooner.
Reganne wanted to break things up this year and head to Rattlesnake Rapids now instead of waiting.  The lines were much shorter and they were able to fit in 2 rides instead of just the one.

These 2 are crazy
Going for their second ride.

Drenched???

YEP!!

Gorgeous
Beautiful
Time for the train ride and a visit to Reganne's tigers.

Don't they look excited?
The train ride is a must to visit Reganne's tigers.  They weren't moving around it was either nap time or an early lunch.
WOW!!
130 years old!!!

A couple more rides.
Bora Bora

Loved this!!
The lines were minimal all day with the longest wait being about 20 minutes.  Everyone rode what they wanted to at least once it not multiple times.  5:30 we were hot, tired, and hungry.  Everyone agreed on Subway without one complaint.  

Dave was gun shy from our Granby trip so we arrived 3 1/2 hours early to the airport.  We had plenty of time and sailed through returning the car and security.  We know had a 3 hour wait until they called our flight.  Hopefully this wait will go as fast as the one in Denver.

Charging station
You Tube will entertain.
We made it home all together and even on the same plane.  It was a fun day but it was time for bed.  Everyone but me would be able to sleep in and they did.

I am sure glad for these small adventures that we are able to take as a family.  I hope this kids will have good memories of the crazy things we find to do.
