Lagoon Fun!

On Saturday, July 24th, Brent, Mitchell, Grant, Barb, Amy, Mark and I went to Lagoon in Ogden, UT. Lagoon is an amusement park with lots of roller coasters.

The park does a great job catering to families. They have a dozen Ramadas set up with picnic tables so families can bring their own lunches in. There are also large grassy areas where you can set out a blanket and take a nap in the shade or play with the friendly geese.

One of the first rides we went on was Blast Off. This ride shoots you up in the air like a rocket and then drops you right back down. Very exhilarating!

To travel across the park we rode the lift. Here Brent and Mitchell are waving.

In this picture Barb, Amy and Mark are enjoying the ride across the park.

Hidden in the park is a Pioneer Museum. This part of the park contains several old homes and historical artifacts. Brent and Barb are racing up to this cute house.

Besides cute houses, there was a jail. Unfortunately, Barb and Amy got locked up!

Hmmmm....Amy is now locked up with Brent and Mark. Such a sad face!

Brent and I are standing in front of a cute log cabin.

Barb, Mark, Amy and Brent are in the doorway of an old Rock Chapel. Its amazing to think that this building was able to be relocated to this park.

The highlight of being at Lagoon is to go on the many roller coasters. Wicked is the ULTIMATE roller coaster. This ride starts off by shooting you up 110 feet and then coming back down the 110 feet. Then the ride races you through twists, turns and spirals. It is intense! Mitchell and Grant went on it several times. There were other amazing roller coasters in the park that kept the two of them busy all day long.

Grant is overcoming his fear of spiders! He went on the spider roller coaster.

Mitchell is getting locked into this ride. I can't remember it's name but it spins you in a circle horizontally and then vertically.

Grant exhibits no fear on this ride. We were all impressed that Mark made it through this ride. He is one tough kid!

This is the one ride I refused to go on. This is Grant getting into a cage that the worker will lock. The cage then is attached to a ferris wheel. The insane part of this ride is that the cage spins independently. You can really get this cage rotating fast.

Mitchell is trapped inside this cage and is already getting it to flip around. I feel a little sick just thinking about it!

We left the park at about 10pm. We were all exhausted. As we traveled down Interstate 15 we were able to watch many fireworks going off in honor of Pioneer Day. This was a great way to end an incredible day. Actually, Grant claims that this was the best day of his life. Thanks Barb for organizing the trip to the park!
