Oh What Do You Do In The Summertime? Part 2

Lagoon
I wasn't going to do it - but Dan talked me into it - it helps that I got some extra money from the U for doing some TA work for my boss - so, I bought a season ticket to Lagoon again. Of course June was CRAZY so it wasn't until last week when we finally went to Lagoon for the first time. We figured out the best time to go is Saturday morning right when it opens! We went on Wicked twice, the Spider, felt like VIPs with our very own ride on the Colossus, Cliffhanger, walked onto Rattlesnake Rapids (twice) and the Log Flume - all within an hour and a half of getting there! It was perfect - we were SOAKED - the pictures don't do it justice - lets just say we were both wearing light brown when the day started. My clothes were still wet three hours later! By the time it got really hot - and the lines were getting longer - we were done! Thanks for talking me into bug - it was fun!

It was slightly bright and Dan is too tall to completely fit in the picture

Oh What Do You Do In The Summertime?

I have been informed that is has been too long since my last post. So I guess I'll post some pictures from my latest summertime activities.

Camping
Every 4th of July my family goes camping at the Spruces. It is SO fun to get away from the heat and relax. We have the best campsite - cool and shady with a lovely running stream as background noise! This years trip was a little longer than most because the 4th was on a Friday - we went up Thursday night after work and stayed until Sunday night. I was INCREDIBLY disgusting by the end - I think three days with no shower is my limit!
Dan set our hammock up right over the stream - then he fell asleep in it and almost fell out.









I don't know about you - but this is what we do when we go camping! (sorry guys - you know I had to post them)
























The waterfalls and scenery in our campsite





I had way too much fun taking pictures of our fire!

Grandma came up for dinner a couple nights - but apparently didn't want her picture taken.


Poor Dan got some tree bark stuck in his eye - his two "nurses" tried to flush it out with some water - but that only succeeded in giving us a shower - some of it ran into his mouth and he sprayed it all over us! We finally got it out with a q-tip.
