A Day at Lagoon Amusement Park

The Naval Reserve Center hosted our annual family day at the local amusement park. We figured that Dylan was a little older this year and would at least try some of the kiddie rides. Boy were we wrong! For some reason our fearless scooter rider is scared of the miniature train, carousel and even the miniature cars! He was excited at first, but quickly changed his mind once he heard the loud noises coming from the rides. At least there was a water park area and he had fun in the kiddie section. Though it still took a long time before he would even go down one of the little water slides. Once he got the hang of it, he begged to go down the big tube water slides, but we had to explain he wasn't tall enough. Try explaining that! He cried and cried! Austin was a real trooper the whole day. He mostly just kicked back in the stroller and people watched. He is so much more relaxed than Dylan at this age. It is amazing how different siblings are!

Kicking back!

This is the first ride Dylan tried and he was totally excited at first and ran to jump in the car early. However, as soon as the car moved away he started freaking out and cried for the rest of the short trip.

Compare Dylan on the carousel last year to his adventure at the fun house this year. Not much has changed!

He was quickly calmed once he had some ice cream!

Wow - it looks like you had a great time. Loved the last year photo and this year photo of Dylans reaction to the rides. That is so funny. I think Austin had the best time...taking in a little nap and staying in the shade. What a hard life it is being an infant!
