We went to Lagoon today for John's work's summer party. We weren't sure if it would be fun or not what with a wild Alex and a crabby baby and neither of us being able to go on any "Big Kid" rides, but we ended up having a great time!
We spent six hours letting Alex go on every single ride in Kiddieland. Alex had a blast and to our surprise, John and I had a great time too! There were a couple of rides we were able to go on with Alex and the rest of the time watching him waving at us from the rides was just as much fun.
It was strange for me, taking my son to a place I used to go to as a child. Lagoon has changed since I'd been there last, not just the new rides, but the experience of Lagoon is so different as a parent. I don't know how to describe it other than it made me feel really grown up. I suppose there's nothing quite like the reality check of being the person waving to the kid on the ride rather than being the kid on the ride.
