That's right! Yesterday we got to go to Frightmares at Lagoon! We headed up early so we could be there before the crowds!
We had great timing and got there right as they were opening!
There weren't very many people there at all and we didn't have to wait in line hardly ever! We headed straight to "Wicked" and got to ride it 2x in a row without waiting (if any of you have been to Lagoon you know the line for this is usually at least an hour wait)!! All of the rides were like this for us!
The Colossus! Jes and I sat this one out because for some odd reason going upside down on rides like this makes us black out...weird I know. Austen and Marcel loved it though!
Classic Bumper Cars!! Love these! You are never too old for bumper cars!
Sky Ride. Very relaxing once you get over the fear of being so high up in a seemingly not very stable working contraption! This ride was much better when I was little and didn't over think everything!
After riding so many crazy rides in such a short amount of time you tend to feel pretty queasy.
So we decided to take a break by riding the train a couple times!
For lunch my amazing mom made us sandwiches and scrumptious pumpkin cookies that we just ate out in the back of the truck while soaking up some sun (much MUCH better than the food they have there...and cheaper I might add!)! Thanks Mom!! :)
We lucked out and the weather was great so "Rattle Snake Rapids" was still running! We rode that, not even exaggerating, at least 6x in a row (if not more)! There was absolutely no line for this so you can imagine how silly we looked jumping out of the raft, running up the stairs, out and around the fence back down to be loaded onto another raft! So fun!
I got SOAKED!! Every one else was able to maneuver themselves away from the water so that they didn't get as wet but the water was out to get me! Jes's feet got pretty wet too though! Note the puddle next to her just from wringing out her socks!
The best time was that Marcel had finally got splashed a tiny bit and I laughed at him for it. Immediately after I started laughing a huge splash hit me right in the face drenching me! Marcel laughed so hard he was having a hard time breathing! I laughed too but was not very happy that Karma had got me back so quickly! Good times! :)
Marcel had our phones in his pockets so he did a great job at keeping dry. However he couldn't completely escape so his back pockets got pretty wet along with the contents in them!
When walking back from Rattle Snake Rapids we found some Peacocks that were roaming freely around! We were able to get pretty close to them which was kinda cool but we were afraid they might attack us so we kept a little distance!
We rode a few more rides after that,

and then went to the Haunted Houses they had set up this year! This was really the only time we had to wait in line and even that wait wasn't too bad!
Once we were all screamed out from the haunted houses we watched the wonderful performances by

and they were FaNtAsTiC as always!
After that we decided we'd reached our fun limit for the day so we headed out to the truck but not before taking the traditional picture!
It was a long and sleepy ride home and there was a B-E-A-Utiful sunset!
We had a great time at Frightmares this year, as always! Love LoVe LOVE it!! :)
