RattleSnake Rapidly Soaked

I got to spend my Independence Day weekend with a few of my cousins this year. It was something we don't get to do very often, but something I do hope we can make happen more frequently. Usually I only get to see my cousins whenever there is a wedding or funeral so it was nice to just get together and have fun this time.

We went to Lagoon on Friday. We did have to break a few speed limits to get there in time to take advantage of the $5.00 off coupons and free drink coupons, but only some buy in front of us got nabbed by the cops so no harm done.

We spent the first half of the day taking my cousins to the kiddie rides. Oh, they had so much fun. We started them off easy with a simple little whale ride that just goes up and down like a see-saw but soon they were riding the wild kiddie rides over and over. By the end of the day my Cousin was dragging her dad on to some big kid rids that even I wouldn't go on. they would come off the rides with the biggest grins you ever saw. It was soooo worth it!

I didn't ride my myself except for the bumper cars of course. I love the bumper cars. I got some good rams in on my cousins and visa-versa. We also went on the save Ferris wheel. I was having second thoughts while we were still in line but I brushed them off. We rod the Ferris wheel up to the top and it is really high. I also didn't know before hand, but the Ferris wheel is kinda like the tea cups at Disney land in that there is a wheel in the middle so you spin the carriage...as if being 10 stories off the ground with only 2 bolds between you and certain death wasn't enough.

We ended the day by riding the rapids of the rattlesnake. The girls caught the brunt of the waterfall so I couldn't really ask for more there. Then we had ice cream. Yeah, it doesn't really get much better does it? Last 4th of July will go down as one of the best July 4ths I have ever had. I'm so glad they all made the trip up here.
