Lagoon

I have been a really bad blogger lately. Summer is definitely here and is wearing me out! The kids are playing non stop with neighbor friends, cousins, and each other. We decided to buy Lagoon season passes again and we figured that it had to be easier this year than it was last year with Gabe being so small. So far, we've been 3 times and the kids LOVE it. Jaxon surprises me with how brave he is. He wants to go on all of the "big kid" rides. He loves the Tidal Wave and he and Jameson went to go get in line and Brooklyn started to cry and throw a fit cause she wanted to go. I had her watch them and she cried the whole time and said she wanted to go on it. So...I let her. She was pretty scared while on the ride as you can see in the picture but when she got off I'm pretty sure she would've gone again.
Gabe had a similar experience on the baby boats! He was having fun until the lady came to get them out. I love this picture of Jaxon and Brooklyn because it describes the way they work so well: Jaxon is in charge and Brooklyn will do anything that big brother does. It's pretty cute (most of the time). Jaxon really does watch out for her though and we noticed them holding hands while standing in line. They always start out Lagoon with the bumper cars and Jaxon helps Brooklyn get in her car and get her seat belt on. So cute! This picture isn't from Lagoon but I have to say something about my bawl baby Gabriel! He cracks me up with his concerned furrowed brow look. He is in the middle of saying, "Mama" in this picture and even though he's exhausting because I can't leave his sight, I'm sure that one day I will miss it.

Was she really tall enough for the tidal wave? Kudos for her! She's not going to be outdone by her big brother.

Looks like you guys had so much fun. We need to go and take my kids. I am like a little kid when it comes to lagoon. I love it:) I have to go every summer and it is like christmas morning to me! Your kids are so cute. I can't believe the marker pics with your girl! That was naughty and I'm sure no fun to clean!
