Our Utah Adventure!

Finally getting around to posting about our little trip! Wow, what a blast! We all had so much fun and the kids were great! I must admit I was worried thinkin "what if the kids are complete monsters at Lagoon?", I'm so grateful to report they were anything but... We were there 12 &1/2 hours straight and all the kids were EXTREMELY good! I can't even explain how much fun we all had! There was the perfect amount of us so we could all have "riding buddies"! Our little Lilly amazed me, she's definitely our thrill seeker! She rode every ride no problem, even the adult rides and just wanted to go again and again! We did draw the line on Wicked though, only us big kids got to ride that one, (minus Aimee, she watched the kiddos) and I must say it's the first ride in a long time that scared the crap out of me! We smuggled Preston onto the River Rapids (or whatever it's called) ride so the whole group could go on it together, everyone loved it except Lexi and Preston about half way through! He was quite the trooper though, we even made him go in the haunted house with Lilly and he just sat through the whole thing with his finger up to his mouth, mean I know but sooo cute! Lexi did very well doing her dance, we'll find out Thursday if her team placed! Friday when we got there we went to the Dinosaur Park in Ogden and that was fun! The kids loved digging for Dino bones! We got some swimming time in at the Hotel Friday night, which the kids loved! Then Sunday we hit Ikea (YaY) got some much needed organizing baskets, bookcase and some other great things, then headed home! Monday the kids and I just laid around and took some long naps, by Wednesday the kids were asking to go back!
