We Found Out Who's Brave and Who's Not

Unfortunately, I don't have many pictures from our fabulous trip to Lagoon. But, it was so fun I thought I would blog a minute about it anyway.
I haven't taken the kids to Lagoon since Katie was about 7 and Kelsey was about 3. This experience was totally different from back then -- of course.
Anyway, Katie invited a friend and her cousin, Samantha and Samantha's friend came. Kesley invited her cousin, Madison and Aunt Tiffany came. Sooo, The teenagers went off and did their own thing while me and Tiff followed Kelsey and Madison around the park letting them do their thing.
Kelsey had told me before we even left that she was going to ride everything. I thought, "you say that now..." But I really thought when she saw some of the roller coaster rides she would be rethinking that statement.
No. She did not rethink. She got on everything she possibly could. On a few rides I asked her if she was afraid and she would say, "Yes, but I'm going to ride it anyway." I was so impressed with her bravery! I rode on a few with her but I chickened out on some she road. For instance, the ride called Wicked. I did not go but she jumped right in line and went.
She went on a ride called The Spider and came off looking a little green in the gills so we took a break, had some water, and walked around a minute so she didn't lose her lunch. After a bit, she felt better and got right back to it.
The big sister, on the other hand, was too afraid to ride on a bunch of stuff. Katie said she realized she was afraid of heights after her Lagoon trip. She still had a really good time and went on plenty of rides but wasn't nearly as fearless as her little sister.
We'll definitely have to do that again next year, it was so much fun!
These are pictures of the ride "Wicked" :

AHHHHHHH! Wicked brings back some very bad memories. I can't think of the ride without my neck hurting. I don't blame you for skipping out on it. But sounds like you guys had a great time.
