Western Nut Lagoon Day


For those of you who don't know, my dad owns Western Nut Company. (okay, if you didn't know that, then you really don't know me and what are you doing reading my blog?). Every year Western Nut had an employee appreciation day and my siblings and their kids all come. (so by default we kind of call it Place Family Lagoon day). Yeah, yeah, my girls and I go to Lagoon almost every week, but still, Western Nut Lagoon day is the creme de la creme of Lagoon experiences! Nothing in the world is better than Lagoon with cousins!!! We were there when it opened, and we stayed till it closed! (well, at 5pm, after six hours, I did get a babysitter for Ashley and Aubrey. But Ben, Hailey and I partied with the big kids for five more hours!)

 My girls ADORE their older cousins and the teenagers as are SO WONDERFUL to the girls. Aubrey is too scared to go on Colosus, so while we waited for the other girls we ran into the cousin teenagers. They were so great to jump on Music Express with Aubrey so she didn't have to wait for the others without going on a ride. She was in heaven going around with them!

 Half way through the day we met up with Ryan. He hung out with us for the afternoon.

I am so lucky to have such a tight-knit family that lives so close by. We have our fair share of issues, but I feel truly blessed to see my daughters and their love for their cousins . . . all of them!!!!
