LAGOON
Kelsi's work Lagoon day was this past Saturday. And us Bostonians, as you know, know how to have a good time! And check it out...Daren came along this year. I couldn't believe it either!
Yes, as you know, it was raining all day Saturday (thanks Brett Benson from Fox 13 for fooling me into believing the weather would cooperate). Thank goodness my husband is smart and told me I shouldn't wear shorts! Michael had a drivers ed meeting that morning so Daren,
AJ, and I left on our own and got TONS in before the rain hit hard. White
Rollercoaster, Tidal Wave, Wicked, Spider, Colossus, and the Train. As soon as Kelsi, Chris, and Michael showed up the rain began... But we went on Wicked anyways. Followed by the haunted houses...since they are inside.
We went to the arcade, which obviously is inside as well.
AJ won the fuzzy ball type thing pictured below. Who would have thought an arcade could be that fun!! Daren ended up having one token left and didn't know what to do so he won 3 tickets on some machine and traded them in for a ring for me. I know it may be cheesy but it was incredibly sweet to me!
Once we were done at the arcade me and Michael hit Samurai before hitting
Arby's/Subway to eat some lunch. When we were inside eating it was POURING...so we were more than ready to hit the Harris Research
pavilion and wait for Bingo to start(which was like 2 hours away) I was soaked at this point so even sitting under that was really cold. Me and Daren couldn't handle it any longer so we decided to spend our money on some sort of jacket to warm us up. Can you believe I even put a thought to spending our beloved money on some sort of Lagoon souvenir? But it was FREEZING...so here are our matching sweatshirts. So hawt!
You know the good news was Lagoon was having a sale(why do they do that??) It was buy one get one FREE!!! So we only had to spend $20 to look really awesome and stay warm! Score! And yes, once we got home we realized the logo on Daren's is not centered. Even awesomer!
We played bingo...yes, I didn't win again this year. Daren won $25 bucks, so yes we won our sweatshirt money back! Then we ate some hot dogs and burgers provided by Lagoon.
Leslie and Tyler joined in for the fun...I'm wondering how much longer they stayed. We left after eating. No more rain for me!
And as you can see in the picture below...AJ's prize from the arcade didn't last in ball form too long. It was deflating so Daren cut it open with his knife (one of which he wasn't suppose to take into Lagoon...we didn't know until we had gotten in there) And it became a hat.
As you can see it was a very wet day at Lagoon....but I loved it! It was a great day. And Daren even agreed we could go again. Hip-Hip-Hooray!
On Thursday June 25th, my dad- the greatest dentist ever- rented out the aquatic center here in Logan and let's all the patients come swim. This is not the first year he has done this. I'm not even sure how many years he has been doing it. My guess is 6 or 7. But patients really seem to appreciate it. But little do they know, we appreciate them more ;)
He gets donuts, veggies, and brings homemade rootbeer for everyone to enjoy.
Kids really enjoy it because it's the only time you get to go and not have to wait in a long line to go down the slides.
Adults like to just sit around and talk! Boo to all other staff members at the office, I was the only swimmer in the bunch. It was a bit cold, as you can see in the pictures, but lots of people came out and enjoyed the cold water anyways!
