Going to Lagoon




We had a blast going to Lagoon. Emma was talking about "riding on horsies, playing in the water, and eating candy..." but we never told her about the candy. Andrey figured she just KNEW there was candy there and that she was going to get some. She is a silly girl. We started the fun with a haunted house-I know, bad mom, Emma's going to have nightmares, but she came out, wide eyes and all, and quickly moved on. Not a tear was shed-she was so brave. She went on every ride there was for her-some even twice. Her and Ellie watched the singing Broadway program (while mom and dad went on the new Wicked ride-yikes, wet-myself-scary). We had a blast swimming. The water was soooo cold, so Ellie didn't last too long. She splashed a little, went around the mote a few times, and then she was done. Emma, however, had a little adventure of her own. While mom and dad went on some water slides, grandma and grandpa were watching the girls...or so we thought. We came back to find Emma was gone. Oh, sick to my stomach...all that water and one little girl. After I rushed to a supervisor and all the lifeguards I could find, someone found her about 1 hour later (ok, it seemed that long, but it was really only 5 minutes). Emma had taken off, determined to go on the waterslide that I wouldn't even dare to go on. She was walking up the long staircase to the slide and when it got to be her turn the lifeguard was a little shocked to see this 2 1/2 year old there w/o supervision. They marched her back down and found us. Emma is a little stinker. We ended the fun night with one more haunted house and a big bag of cotton candy (that was all over the truch and the girl's faces...and Andrey was pretty messy too).
