Wow! We are all EXHAUSTED!! Lagoon was really fun last night and so was the corn maze two nights ago!! We had a GREAT time and the boys all loved both!!

Today Shaun has to fly out to Los Angeles for work (bummer) but we need the money!! Jordan watched the boys while I rode with Shaun to the airport and drove home. When I got home I took the boys to Wendy's because we didn't have any food in the house. We ate at the restaurant and were having a good time when Tyson bumped his cup and dumped his whole frosty into his lap. UGH!! I took our french fry containers and scraped frosty up off his lap and we finished eating and went home. The kids kind of did their own thing while I started my blog. We'll see how it goes!!

I got the kids to bed and am just waiting for my honey to call me from L.A. and then I can go to bed!! Gotta get up early tomorrow morning to read the scriptures with the kids!!

Lagoon

Yesterday (Saturday October 17, 2009) we went to Frightmares at Lagoon. Shaun had invited Dustin and his family a couple of days before but Dustin said his kids were scared of frightmares to which Shaun said well I guess that means a haunted house or haunted corn maze are out then? Dustin said that was a good assumption. :) Then Jeff found out that we were going to Lagoon so he said maybe he and his wife and Heather (his daughter) would go. They ended up going with us and it was really fun!!

We started off with Wicked because Jeff had never ridden it before and then on to the spider. I didn't ride most of the rides because of my neck ( remnants of the meningitis and brain abscess from last year) but I went through the lines with them.

When it started to get dark we went to the haunted houses. Apparently Heather is scared of clowns :) We went through three haunted houses which were pretty fun and the kids and Shaun rode on the rocket then it was time to go home. Unfortunately the park closes at 10:00 instead of 11:00 like it does in the summer. Anyway, we got our stuff out of our locker and got to the car then went to McDonald's so the kids and Shaun could eat on the way home. Payton was asleep before we even got to McDonald's but he woke up to eat.

CornBelly's

Two nights ago (Friday, October 16, 2009) we went to Thanksgiving Point to go to the Corn Maze called Cornbelly's. It was really fun. We got lost in the maze that was made in the shape of Larry H. Miller's face/head. We ended up cheating by texting a number to get a hint to find our way out. Then we watched some pigs race and they picked Payton to represent one of the pigs they called StinkerBell. Stinkerbell didn't win....they gave Payton a spider ring for being a helper and he lost it about a minute later. :) Then we went to the inflatable haunted houses. The first one we went to was some kind of dinosaur and you enter through his mouth. It was only a little bit scary. Then we went through a 3-D one and it was only a little bit scary too. The last one we went through was a haunted corn maze and it was pretty scary. I was surprised that Payton wasn't really scared! He's a pretty brave boy!! One of the clowns on a bus in the corn maze told me to sit down so he could scare my kids so I did and I screamed as they closed the bus doors and my hero boys didn't even try to save their poor mom. Payton's excuse was that he was in the lead and didn't know until they had already let me out. What a PUNK!! :)

After the haunted houses, the boys all rode the mechanical bull then we sat and watched a little singing program they put on for the kids. It was kind of silly. Payton & I ate some chicken, Jordan ate a burger and Tyson had a footlong corn dog. Then we all shared a fried PB&J which I thought was pretty good but really rich!! I'm not sure anyone else liked it though!! Then the boys played on the slides and on the big bouncy inflatable things kind of like trampolines. I hope we got photos of them on the bouncy things!! Then it was time to go home and I was FREEZING!!!!!!!!
