We fell behind on the special nights in the summer thanks to all the crazy things we had to deal with, so we decided to have a good one before the holiday's stated. This past weekend was the boys turn. They keep asking to go back to Lagoon, so we decided to take them there. It is Frighmares there now, so it was geared more to Halloween stuff, which was fun to see. They were really excited to go and couldn't wait to get there. The second we got there Cam's attitude flipped. He wasn't happy and didn't want to do anything. All Brad and I could think was how long the day was going to be if this kept up. We made them go on one of the regular haunted houses because if they didn't like that, they ones set up for Frighmares would really scare them. Camden lasted till the first door opened to let us in. He hated it, but attitude had a lot to do with that. Beck didn't mind it. Next Beck and I went on the Samurai. He was scared at first but wanted to do it. It was so fun to hear him go from freaking out to having a blast.
Next we tired to get Cam to do a roller coaster that didn't flip upside down or go high, but he wouldn't have it. Brad and Beck did it though. It was looking like the day wasn't going to be much fun.
We decided to try one last ride with Cam. It was a fish one that went up and down a little, very easy and not scary at all. We showed him a mom took her 6 month old baby on it. Still in a crappy mood he got on (and by got on I mean I pretty much had to carry him. We sound so nice right now) I told him that today is meant to be fun and it will be if he lets it. If he doesn't want to be there we'd just go to the car. I told him they have shops and if he wants to look for something to remember the day he better get try and have fun. Snap, just like that he was happy. No joke it was a snap. The rest of the day was a lot of fun.
This was him on the next few rides. Even ones that were a little scary he stayed happy for. We were so glad it changed.
There were photo things like this all over. The kids loved these things but when it came time for the haunted houses to open they didn't want to have anything to do with them, which I don't blame them.
Their favorite was the dragon. They wen't on it three times. I love how happy they both look on it here.
Cam got out of a few rides thanks to him being too short. This was one of them. I didn't want to get wet, so Brad was up. The first picture Beck looks a little scared but they he really gets into it.
We went on a lot of rides and had a really fun day. I'm so glad we are able to have these days with just the kids one on one (well two on two here). When we were in the shop Camden asked first if he could get Emery and Jacks something. He was really excited to give them their prize when we got home. Next month we head to Boise for Emery and Jacks' night.
