Ryan thinks that since my friends all seem to be “blogging”, that there’s no way I should be left behind, so he set this one up for me. We’ll see if I keep it up or flake on it, but hey, at least I’ll give it a good effort. Hopeefully you’ll tune in more than just this once to see if I improve at this stuff.

Today was our Stake Lagoon Day. You know, every stake gets their own discount day. It was great fun when we were all in the Butler Stake and we would see all our friends and could hang out with them. It’s a little different here, as we really don’t know many people in our stake unless they are in our current ward or what used to be our ward, but we were still all set to go. Until we woke up to rain and 60 degree weather–similar to our Stake Lagoon Day last year. So, once again, we decided not to go, but had to think of something else to do, since we had dedicated the whole day to Lagoon. So, we tried something new and went to the Hollywood Connection. For $4 each, the kids could ride all the rides, –all 4 or 5 of them– go miniature golfing and skate as much as they wanted. Quite a bargain, I thought. So, we all rode the merry go round, and by the 4th time, John was ok without hanging onto a handful of my hair (quite an accomplishment, I think), rammed into each other on the bumper cars, and went miniature golfing. The others with stronger stomaches also rode some of the other wilder rides, We finished the day off with a trip through the drive through at Wendy’s and a movie at home. Not quite the excitement of Lagoon, but fun anyway.
