We haven't been able to do many things this year. It is very hard to go anywhere with a newborn specially with this heat.
Spencer and I decided to take turns taking the kids to do things.
He decided to take Julia and Josh to Lagoon. He just wanted to take Julia but I managed to convince him that it wouldn't be fare for Josh because he has just as much fun. I though kids under 2 enter the park for free, but boy was I wrong, he had to pay the full price, which is kind of ridiculous for the limited amount of rides they can do.
A couple of hours later I was on my way with Andrew to pick Josh up, I guess walking through an amusement park on the hottest day of the year was not that thrilling for him.
Julia and Spencer stayed for a couple more hours and rode the bigger rides. Julia was so mad that they wouldn't let her into the roller coasters. She kept insisting to Spencer that she was tall enough...oh well perhaps next year.
At the end of the day Spencer and Julia were both tired, sunburned... oh and Spencer told me that this was the last time he ever took both kids to Lagoon all by himself
A couple of days later I took both kids to watch Toy Story 3. They should definitely put a warning on this movie"not apt for hormonal woman". Spencer had told me that one of the characters dies, so every time one of the toys got into trouble my brain started thinking oh no he is the one that dies and just started crying. I came to find out at the end of the movie that no one dies, so I was ready to smack Spencer.
Seriously though, the mom moments in the movie did fill my eyes with tears, truly kids grow up too fast. The only thing that made me stop sobbing was when Julia asked me what was wrong with me and I told her that the movie was sad. She replied " mommy is just a movie, see, everything is OK", so I am blaming my shameful display on my hormones, after all I just had a baby.
Josh, well he behave better than what I expected, although he was more thrilled about having his own cup of soda and bag of popcorn than the actual movie. So when those two were done, he was done watching the movie...... until I got him a refill

About 2 months ago I made a very bad decision of going to see Karate Kid with Keldrie. I'm not sure I will ever take her to a movie ever again. I didn't even get to see the end. But perhaps the popcorn will do the trick. Next year, we should all go to Lagoon together. It will be easier and more fun for all of us.
I agree next year we should all go to Lagoon together. I am sorry Josh didn't have much fun, that must have been annoying paying all that money for him to not have much fun...it is way too expensive. My boys were in heaven when they went a few weeks ago though so I felt like it was money well spent. Oh Toy Story 3 was a tear jerker for sure, it was darling.
