Every summer, if you participate in the library summer reading - they have a day when you can go to Oaks Park for only $4 per child. It's a pretty good deal and we've never taken advantage of it before. I decided it was high time we do it. I grew up near Lagoon in Utah. This is no where near as big as Lagoon, it's more like a county fair that stays in place all year round. But my kids don't know any different and they wouldn't appreciate all the BIG rides at Lagoon yet anyway.We had a blast together. The only thing that would have been better is if daddy was there with us!
Sarah and Natalie felt so brave going on the kiddie roller coaster. My kids are not dare devils so by their standards this was great! As you can see in Natalie's expression, she was not a big fan of this "thrill" ride. It made her nervous. Sarah LOVED it - she is the bravest one of the bunch as far as this stuff goes.
Our pretty picnic spot right on the Willamette River in town.
The girls loved the carnival mirrors everywhere.
Angela loved the very very tame rides - like this very boring train ride! (o: But we were in the shade and it was relaxing so I can't complain!
This was Angela's favorite ride. Sarah felt very left out when she couldn't go on this kiddie rides because she was too big. The world is full of injustice for an 8 year old. But I remember the same thing when I went to Lagoon with my friends around her age. I was always tallest and it was devastating to me watching them ride together on the kids rides without me. Height prejudice is a huge problem in America. (o:
