Summer Pictures: Part 2

One of our very favorite summer fun things to do: watch the Lagoon shows. Here's the "silly" boys singing Bad Romance. It's an eye opening experience to hear your 4 and 2 year-olds singing a Lady GaGa song.
Gwen's favorite singer: Michelle. She once gave Gwen a high five even though Gwen had sticky hands from eating cotton candy. That made a huge impression on Gwen.

Gwen loves meeting the Lagoon dancers after their performances and running into them around Lagoon. She clams up when she's face-to-face with them but won't stop talking about her "friends" after they leave. One evening we ran into a bunch of them and I told them how they were her favorite part of Lagoon and one of the guys told her that she was his favorite part of Lagoon. She was so excited about that. She wants to be a Lagoon dancer when she grows up. She told one dancer that she was getting so good at their dances that they should let her on the stage and she would be in the show for them.



Gwen took this next picture of herself with our new waterproof camera at Lagoon-a-Beach.

Emily found a cool-er place to hide at Lagoon-a-Beach. Our kids love the water and the water park is a big hit with them. The problem is that it's such a hassle to pack all our swimming stuff and change at Lagoon. It's so easy to just visit the pool in our condos that we only gave in a few times and went to Lagoon-a-Beach.

Emily hiding in the tubes. Such a cute little girl.

Emily and Gwen are fearless in the water. They love the slides. We made Gwen wear a life vest the first time we went but it became pretty apparent that it just slowed her down. We did make her have an adult near if she wanted to leave the kiddie area.


One of my fishies.

Gwen goes down one of the slides. She was sad that she wasn't big enough yet for the faster and bigger slides. Maybe next year, Gwen.

One of Emily's favorite rides is the Jumping Dragon. She loves the fast rides. My little dare devil.


One of the nurses at my work has become a really good friend of mine. She has a little boy who is a year younger than Gwen and they're also good friends. His name is James and he has glasses. When Gwen found out that she needed glasses she was so excited because she could be like her little friend James. One day this summer we got to spend the afternoon with him at Lagoon.

The boys from the Lagoon day show. Gwen told us that she's going to marry Charlie - not pictured. Too bad that Charlie likes boys. We didn't tell her that though. Let the kid dream right?

Jonathan's favorite singer as Mary Poppins. Noah said he's going to marry her.

Gwen's favorite song from the day show is "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend".
Cute little James getting all settled for the show. He wasn't nearly as impressed as Gwen had wished.
