Lagoon Trip

Claire's favorite carousel steed--"Fluffy Cloud-but-not-rain-kind-of-cloud Cat'o Mine!"
Classic Hannah--Anthon and Daniel are in the car just behind us as well...
Nearing the end of the day.
Claire drives the coveted lead purple boat. She actually made a pair of sisters cry by insisting that she was first, it was her boat and they could go stand in line again if they really wanted to ride the purple one. I shamelessly cheered her on.

The serious, yet safe, little driver.
Claire's *first* roller coaster ride--look at her face as she realizes what she's gotten herself into at the crest of the first hill. Could be I'm evil, but that's dang funny! She spent the rest of the ride pasted to the floor of the car while Adam tried to reassure her. I suspect that's it for Old Puff for a few years.
This is actually a picture from Island Park, but taken at about the same time.
A date on "Turn of the Century"
The "Corn Ride"--Soapy's absolute favorite!

We had a meltingly hot day at Lagoon a few weeks ago. Thankfully, Claire's favorite ride is the carousel and spinning in a shaded circle makes for a nice cool break from the sun.

Sophie "Speaks"

Sophie can now nod yes to request more food. She blows kisses to express affection and we're starting to get verbalizations like "Nun nun!" for "No" as well as an increasing repertoire of people's names.
