Our good friends from Vegas were in town last weekend. Joel called Jer Thursday afternoon to see if we wanted to go to Lagoon with them on Friday. We had been meaning to take the kids all summer long but with the baby and all, we just never got around to it. So long story short, it worked out perfectly that Jer took the day off work and surprised us with a fun day at Lagoon with our friends. We spent the afternoon letting the kids ride whatever they wanted then my
awesome parents so lovingly drove all the way up there to pick them up for the evening so Jerry and I could ride some of the roller coasters together.

Not so funny story- On our way out to drop our kids off with my parents we stopped at the gate to get my hand re-stamped. Then we walked all the way to the back of the parking lot where the drop off loop is at. As we walked up to the car my mom calmly asked where Sonrisa was at (just thinking we left her with a baby-sitter). Both mine and Jer's eyes popped wide open. Jared immediately took off running back to the park. I looked in the front of the stroller and sure enough... no Sonrisa. I then took off running back as well and was balling and shaking by the time I got back to the entrance. The lady at the gate looked at me with a smile said, "Lost your daughter?" That obvious, huh? She told me where she was at and by the time I got there Jared was just walking out the door with her. They had found her right by the entrance gates. I guess while I was figuring out where to get my hand re-stamped, she had crawled out of the stroller and was probably standing right next to us as we walked away. But did we notice? Nope! We pushed a half-empty stroller all the way across a gigantic parking lot and didn't even notice. Are we great parents or what!?! For those few minutes running back to the park I had all sorts of horrible things going through my mind. I am sooo incredibly thankful that she is okay!

After we finally got the kids sent off with my parents and our nerves settled down, we ate some dinner and then met up with our friends again. They dropped their kids off at Brooke's parent's house right there in Fruit Heights and her mom came back with them just to ride a couple of the big roller coasters while her dad watched the kids. Thanks so much for inviting us Brooke and Joel! Other than momentarily losing Sonrisa, we had a blast spending the day at Lagoon with you and your kids... and your adorable, roller coaster loving mom!

This picture is so hilarious to me! Look closely at Ivy and Sonrisa's face. Think they enjoyed riding Puff?
I wish we took more pictures of everybody that we were with but sadly this is all we have. Didn't even get one of Lincoln while we were there.
Since I didn't have a picture of Lincoln to post from Lagoon I just had to post something about him. This is my sweet little boy in an outfit that Jared wore when he was a baby. Kinda cool, huh!?!!
