The "Lake"

Kelsie, McKenna and Gracie

We have a couple of new little "lakes" that have opened this summer and are fairly close to our home. I use the term "lake" very loosely as my husband grew up in Michigan and knows what lakes are really supposed be like. One of them is actually a small reservoir that we have dubbed, "the puddle" and the other is a very small lake. But...they both have sandy beaches and the kids love it! One even has a big playground behind the beach. This summer we've enjoyed spending time at both of them!

LaGoOn!

In July, we spent the day at Lagoon with some friends from our neighborhood, the Ereksons. We had a great time and stayed at the park from open to close. It was Hot, Hot, Hot! But, after lunch we all went on Rattle Snake Rapids and got soaking wet...it cooled us off for a while. I have to say, I was more impressed with Lagoon than I have been in the past. The flowers were beautiful and it just seemed like there was shade everywhere we went. Everyone but Kelsie went on Wicked...that is a one wild roller coaster! I feel like I've been on some pretty good ones in Orlando, but this one is crazy! I couldn't even open my mouth to utter a scream...a first for me! I'm not sure I'll be getting on that one again! It was a great day!
