Where did the time go?

He's 12!

Tristan had his birthday on Tuesday, June 3. He is 12 years old! To celebrate we went to Lagoon! He had such a fun time. He says his favorite rides are The Jet Star, The Bat, The wild mouse, the sky ride, and Turn of the century. He also rode the Roller Coaster with his dad, and his comments on it, were "it's steep". He was very adventurous, and every time we asked if he wanted to try a ride he would shrug and say "okay". Unfortunately, I forgot the camera so I didn't get to take any pictures. It wasn't a very warm day, so we didn't get to go to Lagoon-a-beach, or ride Rattlesnake rapids. We just didn't want to get wet! Anna was pretty adventurous too, and get running from ride to ride. Her favorite ride was The Paratroopers and Puff the Little Fire Dragon. I don't think Connor was feeling very well. He just didn't have much fun. But his favorite ride was the bumper cars. He probably rode it 4 or 5 times.

One funny thing that happened was that Tristan rode the paratrooper ride 3 times in a row. He was sitting by himself, and Anna and I were together. He got on, then we did. We rode around and then the operator started getting people off. During that time there was a shift change and Anna and I got off, but Tristan didn't. So he went around again. He was in the #10 cart and the new operator started letting people off. He started with cart #1. He got all of them off until he got to 10 and then started the ride again. That was ride #3! Chris went up to the operator and told him it was his 3rd time around. Needless to say, Tristan was the first one off when it stopped! It's a good thing he liked the ride!

It was really a fun day for all of us! It's fun living close to fun things like Lagoon!
