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!

Wow I can't believe you guys did Lagoon in the rain. Sat. was really pouring. It sounds like it ended up being okay anyway!! Love the matching sweatshirts!!
It was a fun day even though it rained. We ended up staying until about 8:30. It actually stopped raining and the sun came out around 7:30.
Sounds fun even in the rain! LOVE the shirts.
Oh man! I Lagoon was so fun! We went and rode the rides after you guys left in the POURING rain and seriously, it looked like I had jumped into a pool- I was completely soaked from head to toe. Think I ruined my girraffe sweater :(
My favorite part of the day though had to be (1st) you and Daren in your matching sweaters and (2nd) when Daren was all quiet and bummed at the start of bingo and then after he won (twice) he was all "boo yeah" and happy. Hahah that was funny!
By the way, don't be afraid to comment on Moments By Kellee's blog. She does a comment contest every month so if I have the most comments then I get a free 8x10. So we need your comments! :) I am so glad you like them!
Why is is that Lagoon days with the fam are always so much fun? I do love the matching sweatshirts. It reminds me of that day when we wore the exact same outfit and claimed that we didn't do it on purpose to anyone who asked. Oh geez.
Lagoon time again! I was wondering when I was going to start seeing some of these pics. Erica, you guys are serious fans to brave it in the rain, however it probably made for a lot less crowds which is totally a bonus. Ok, I'm totally laughing at the awesome "off-centered" sweatshirts. Daren is such a trooper. And, I've never known anyone who's gone to Lagoon and played Bingo. In fact, I didn't even know Lagoon had Bingo. Congrats to Daren for winning back your sweatshirt money. Erica, we need to catch up on things, I feel like I have so much to say/hear!
