This is the group shot we should have taken at the beginning of the day. Before Natalie K. and Abrielle had left. Tons of pictures in this post. I could have posted so many more but I controlled myself, somewhat.

In typical Chris Weaver fashion we were waiting at Lagoon's gates for them to open and they were pushing us out at closing time. This was my first trip to Lagoon. Other newbies were Whitney, Gavin, Ashlyn, Landon, Ben, Calvin and Abrielle. It is a fun place! I did not expect it to be as big as it was.

The little escape artist otherwise known as Ethan gave us a scare when he wandered off. He wasn't too pleased to be trapped in his stroller after his taste of freedom. Look at those big, sad puppy dog eyes! I almost wanted to let him out. Almost.


Here is Ben with the dragon he won for himself after his Dad failed to win him one at the old pop the balloons with darts game. He also won a smaller dragon for his baby brother Calvin. Ben is the Man!


This is one of the few rides I went on. After 15 years of marriage Chris still cannot wrap his mind around the fact that I do not like roller coasters.

Gavin, Ashlyn and Isaac taking a little break. Ashlyn is in heaven here!

Landon's favorite ride.

We were so happy that we were able to take our niece Joie to Lagoon with us! She was an excellent tour guide and gave us the inside scoop on all the rides.

Joie couldn't wait to take Ashlyn on the Dinosaur Drop ride because that was her little sister Audrey's favorite ride.

Time for ice cream!!! Yum!!!

Ashlyn made Isaac hold her hand while walking around Lagoon. This shot doesn't even begin to capture how giddy with delight she was! Notice how she has his hand locked in both of hers. She has caught herself a man and he is not getting away. We hear that the little girls can't leave poor Isaac alone.

Preston and Gavin

Tall, blond and handsome or tall, dark and handsome!

More ride shots.

Steph, Joie, Wit and Natalie P. getting ready to ride Wicked. The baddest roller coaster at Lagoon. Once they were seated Whitney started to have second thoughts. She started to get up but Steph just pulled back the bar and said "you'll be fine!" Afterwards Whitney was glad she went.

Judging by the expressions on their faces, I would say that blonds really do have more fun!

Ben was not a big fan of the rides

This little doll is Abrielle.

The Terroride was the first ride these three and myself went on. Joie was just a little excited. We don't get to see Joie very often because we have always lived so far away. All day long I could not get over how much she was like Chris at an amusement park! No patience, literally running from ride to ride and wanting to ride every ride ASAP. Now we know who to call when he needs an amusement park buddy. He always has to talk Whitney and Gavin into going on the scarier rides and sometimes he is not successful in his attempts.

The cute and fun Tarbets - Calvin, Chris, Ben and Steph.
