I was so excited, thinking about how much fun the kids would have. They went on a couple of rides this summer at Bear World and LOVED them. Turns out, Leah was a ride fiend and ran from ride to ride to ride and we paid $20 for Abby to run around with her cousin, Cadence. As long as she's happy, I guess. It didn't help anything that we arrived at Lagoon the same time nap time was scheduled to begin.
And after the kids had THEIR fun, we dropped them off with cousin Sela so Lenny and I could spend a couple hours riding the big rides. Double fun: family activity AND date night!
My favorite picture of the day: Abby and Cadence are SO funny together! Cadence is 3 weeks older than Abby and they adore each other. Instead of doing the "parallel play" so common with kids this age, they actually interact with each other. They look to the other for approval and teach each other new tricks, like how to climb up on furniture previously unexplored or open doors to escape from the house. This picture is the kind of thing you'd see in the slideshow of a well-traveled couple. "And this is us in Paris...." Cute kids.

My pretty daughter, Leah. From the moment she found out we were going to Lagoon she was saying, "I want to ride the ferris wheel." First thing when she woke up that morning, "I want to ride the ferris wheel." So the first thing we did... we rode the ferris wheel.
