It's what fun is

First there was this:

Lagoon has a deal that if you go after 5:00 on Friday or Saturday you can get the "Date Night" special and get in two for one. We went with Michelle and Cody and had a blast. Here are things I thought and learned:

• Always have zipper pockets.
• Lockers are worth it. If you MUST carry things in your pockets put a ziplock bag in first and refer to bullet point number one. (just leave the camera/phone/ipod in the locker. electronics + rides/water/upside down = broken things)
• Steph screams really loud on all rides-- even the non-scary ones.
• Adam laughs at Steph screaming really loud on all rides-- even the non-scary ones.
• If you're going on Cliffhanger prepare to be SOAKED. We're not talking log-flume/water squirting soaked. We're talking jump into a lake fully clothed soaked. We're talking still pretty damp on the ride home soaked. Be warned.
• Wicked, like it's cousin the musical, ROCKS!! Not only does the ride rock, but they entertain you in line with all kinds of fascinating facts about G-forces and magnetic repelling (do i want to know that much about how my ride works? then I panic that the magnets will malfunction...)
• Subway and Lagoon have met and begun a beautiful life together of healthy dinner options.
• We felt really bad for all the girls who forgot half their shorts. And part of their shirts.
• So, I realized I'm not a huge thrill seeker. I get nervous every time I'm about to go on a ride. And especially roller coasters. But put me on a roller coaster backwards that might turn in circles while you're on it (aka The Spider, aka Steph's Nemisis) and that's pretty much my breaking point. The quease did me in.
• I LOVE churros and cotton candy and all amusement park treats!
• The Rocket is way fun. Even when you think you're gonna die, it's okay, cause you don't.
• Lagoon is a lot smaller than I remembered. Don't you remember how Pioneer Park seemed WAY far back there? And how if you were going from the Ferris Wheel to Colossas you probably wanted to take the sky ride cause it's WAY too far to walk. Yeah, it's not.
• My favorite ride is still the Tidal Wave. And the White Roller Coaster.
