So the Lunds had some of their good friends in town from AZ for Jeni's wedding and we were the lucky ones to be able to have some fun with them after the wedding celebration was over. Steph (Nana) took Ella with her on Thursday night up to the condos to play with Bonnie (aka... grandma Bunny), Janice and her husband Ryan and their 2 girls Abi (5) and Kenna (3). Ella had so much fun playing and watching movies and swimming with them and was even more excited when she found out that they were all staying at our house Friday night and then we were all going to lAgOoN on Saturday for Mason's birthday celebration! All in all it was a busy and really fun weekend that totally wore these kids out. This was the first time we had guests stay at our house. I was a bit stressed at first, just wanting to make sure everyone would be comfortable but everything turned out better than expected and was really fun. I can see why Ryan and his family have just loved these guys for so long and am grateful that they are so sweet and easy to be around and fun. If they lived here I think we would be together a lot more! Anyways... Saturday we headed to Lagoon. Tons of fun, in fact I wish we could've afforded a season pass, the kids loved it! The weather was perfect and the lines weren't bad at all. Mason went on everything! Nothing was too big or too fast for him. Wicked seemed to make him the most nervous but it did me too. He loved The Spider, Jet Star 2, The Bat, Colossus... not much he didn't enjoy, which didn't surprise me. Ella did surprise me bit though, she is more of a dare devil than I give her credit for. She would've gone on way more rides than her height allowed her to. On the Tidal Wave she even put her little arms up and laughed and giggled the whole time. She loved everything she could go on. Claire, now she is my little nervous Nellie in new situations, especially ones that are a bit out of her control. She went on some of the kiddie rides and would tense up so tight and get nervous, even cry a little, but afterwards would say "dats fun" or point to again and want to give it another shot. So she tried... but its not quite her cup of tea yet. But she did so good, we were there all day and with no nap and being crazy all day she held up really well! We even stopped for a fun silly tradition I always did growing up which is to get ice cream in Pioneer Village... it is sooooo yummy! Mason seemed to have a fun birthday celebration, one that he will remember I hope. I loved going to Lagoon when I was little, and its even better now than it was then. Ryan and I had a great time riding rides together... not much will keep us from trying a ride. We love the thrill! Happy Birthday Mason! and thanks to the Kottraba family and Nana for spending the day with us!
