it's what FUN is

Instead of having a "friend" party, we decided to go to Lagoon on Saturday for Noah's birthday. I think this is the second time since Jr. High that I have been there. I will have to say it is in much better shape than I remember from my youth.

Arlette, her boys (Parker, Elliot & Bridger) and Colette came with us. Bridger and Noah are only a couple of weeks apart in age and are good buds. We had so much fun!

My kids LOVE coasters! Chris and I used to be "coaster chickens", but our kids have broken us of that (well, Chris anyway). Noah's favorite ride was WICKED (above). He was barely tall enough to get on and could not wait to ride it again.

Colette and Arlette decided to brave the Sky Coaster. That is one you will not see Chris and I on any time soon. They basically attach you to a harness, lift you 143 feet in the air and the you pull the cord and swoop down. It is supposed to be like hang gliding/skydiving. Arlette loves the adrenaline rush, but you can see Colette contemplating the fate of her decision. If she hadn't have been on drugs (root canal), she may not have gone ahead with it. You can see in the picture of their first "swoop" Colette was holding tight to Arlette's arm and would not let go. I am really proud of you guys!

As for me, I was beat by the end of the day and could feel it in every part of my body. My hips were so sore I could hardly walk at church the next day. I know I am not that old, but I sure could feel the years after that.

We finished the day off with yummy pasta at Firehouse Pizzeria in Centerville (also in Logan). Of course, we couldn't leave without a FH'zzookie! (What is a FH'zzookie!? It's our famous gourmet cookie baked to order in a cast-iron skillet then topped with ice cream, chocolate, and caramel syrup.) DE-LISH!
