lagoon, mountains, drive-inn

Justin took a few days off from work and we decided to kick off summer exhausting ourselves. But it was worth it.
Justin's mom took Rudger for most of the day so that all of us could ride the big rides at Lagoon together. Levi was just barely too short to ride all of the rides. So with big shoes and spiky hair we fixed that and he rode on all the rides, no problem. I still can't believe that those three big (little) kids rode almost every ride. Colossus and wicked included. I remember not even riding the colossus when all my friends were riding it. I stayed on the very safe Carousel with Cami.

This day was too fun. We went running from ride to ride laughing and full of so much excitement. 

By the time Grandma brought Rudger back we were all dying to see him. We smothered him like crazy and then he got to jump on a few rides with the brothers.





The older kids wanted to ride a few more big rides before going home, so Rudger and I rode some of those very safe rides. This train ride right here began his first favorite toy obsession. Trains. (I caught him mid-choo-choo-sentence)

The next day we headed to the mountains for four-wheeling, dirt, hot dogs, smores, nature, and peach cobbler.




 (thanks for the egg carton nature hunt idea Cami!)

How I felt after riding the four wheeler down the mountain with huge cliffs on the side.

So sorry there are no more pictures from our adventures (enter sarcasm) But we did go to the drive-inn to see Maleficent. Good show and fun night. Except for the fact that we missed the first 20 minutes because the fast food place was so incredibly slow AND a couple of ladies smoking away not even aware of how many children were at the theater....
