Mother's Day

So grateful to have these kids in my life.

 

I had breakfast in bed and woke up to a clean house (Thank you Adam). Britton did the morning dishes without being asked, and Jenna and Korinne gave me coupon books for future chores to be done without complaining.  Perfect.

And Happy Mother's Day to my Mom. . .

. . and to my Mother-in-law, Bonnie.  What can I say, they both raised fantastic kids. :-)

 

Jameson decided he really likes Mother's Day, too.  He ate a lot of my breakfast and helped himself to some Mother's Day treats as well.  Too bad he was sleep deprived (no nap for 2 days) and had a hard day at church.

I'm not sure how Jameson would survive his days without trains.

 

Although he may not like the strict limits we put on the use of TV and other devices he LOVES his trains.

 

 

Britton had an away soccer game yesterday.  It was 1 1/2 hrs from home and the entire family came along for the ride.  Imagine how pleased we were when the light rain turned into a torrential downpour and the game was canceled just as it was supposed to start. They usually play rain or shine, but in this case half of the field was covered with standing water and it wasn't just a little rain, it was a LOT of rain.  Luckily for us it will be rescheduled and we'll get to travel down all over again in the next few weeks to make it up. (Note the sarcasm)

 

We passed by Lagoon on our way home and it was still raining so we decided not to stop this time.  Just a few miles past Lagoon the rain stopped so we turned around and decided to give Lagoon a try after all. Apparently Farmington was the cut-off point for heavy rain, because it was still raining cats and dogs when we pulled into the parking lot and continued to rain the entire time we were there. 

 

I didn't even know if Lagoon stayed open in the rain, but it does. The only time they shut down is if there is lightening in the area.  At first I thought going to Lagoon in the rain would be miserable, but now I'm converted.  Rain means there are no lines which makes Lagoon super fun, even if you are a little wet.  I think we'll purchase some ponchos and go to Lagoon every time it rains this summer. You can get a full day of rides in in a fraction of the time.  In fact, there were a few times when Jameson and Korinne were the only kids on a particular ride.  Not having to wait to go on anything makes Jameson a very happy boy.  We stayed for 2 hours and got more than enough in to make it worth our time. Having season passes to Lagoon has definitely improved the family's attitude when it comes to Britton's away soccer games. :-)
