Lagoon Season Passes

Well we decided to get Lagoon season passes when we went last week. So Brett and I took the kids over yesterday for a couple of hours. We figure if they get their chores done we can go over for an hour or two as a reward. Anyway Jeremy loved going on the Colossus last week and wanted to ride Wicked but I figured he was too small. Anyway I guess they have changed the height on Wicked to 46 inches so he was tall enough. They have special seat inserts so we were able to move up through a special line and get on. So I took the 3 older kids and we rode Wicked, The Spider and Centennial Screamin. They all had a great time and loved it. Since Brett doesn't like the roller coasters he was content to take Katie to the little kids rides and watch her ride. Although he said he took her on the Puff roller coaster and she cried. We also all went on the Kontiki boat and she didn't like that either. Overall it was a great day and it is nice to feel like you can just go for a couple of hours and then leave, and if everyone doesn't get to ride the ride they wanted we know we will be back and can ride it another time.

Jessica

Hello,
My name is Jessica Ann Evans. I have a sister and two brothers (somtimes they are annoying,) but they are still kind of fun to play with.

Crazy Birds

So my family thinks I am crazy. I have an immense fear of birds dive bombing me. Every year at this time we get swallows perching on our porch on top of the window ledge. Anyway today was the first day that they have been a nuisance. I think I'm going insane when just to get out of the house I have to scream and yell to get them to fly away. Whenever I want to go out my heart starts beating faster and it gets a little crazy. I went online to see if I could come up with ways to keep them from perching under there. One post said to spray canola oil on the area which I did. Hopefully that will prevent their nest from sticking if they try to build again. I already sprayed down the mud they had started putting up. I was hoping the oil would deter them from perching too, but it doesn't seem to have worked since I can see one up there right now. Anyway I think tomorrow I'm going to tape tinfoil to the roof of my porch and let it hang down in that area.

I read a lot of posts on the web that said just to leave the swallows alone that they are good for bugs. Well if they were on their porch dive bombing them I don't think they would want them their either.

Lagoon Pictures



Hi Family and Friends




Hi family and friends I just thought I would try this blog thing. Maybe keep people updated on our life. We just had Jill and Randy and their family here for a couple of days. Abby and Josey were participating in National Clogging Competition at Lagoon. We had a fun day watching them do their dances and riding on the rides at Lagoon. I even enjoyed getting soaked on Rattlesnake Rapids but was very glad to get home and change into dry clothes.
