Lagoon Day

On Thursday, my company had their annual Lagoon Day.

I remember the first time I took Seuao to Lagoon, it was while we were still dating. He hadn't had a lot of experience on roller coasters (they don't have any in Samoa). While I wasn't really a daredevil, I certainly wasn't much of a chicken. Well, I'm afraid I sealed our amusement park fate that hot day 4 years ago - the first ride we went on was the Wild Mouse (or whatever that dreadful ride is called). It was newly re-done, and didn't have loops or people screaming, so I thought maybe it would break him in good. Oh no - that ride was still as wretched and awful as it was when I was a kid. Thus, rides and Seuao will never be good friends again. I did somehow convince him to go on the skyride, the ferris wheel and the terror ride after that, but nevertheless, Lagoon is NOT his favorite place to be. Come to think of it now, I am much more of a fraidy-cat about rides and stuff now too.... what happened???

This year, I talked Sarah into coming with me. She went earlier in the day with a couple of friends, and met up with me and Lily for the dinner. The dinner was PACKED, and I didn't win any of the prizes that they gave out, but it was still a good time. I thought the whole trip would really would be a waste if I didn't at least put Lily on the carousel, so Sarah came with us and snapped a couple of pictures.

Although she really doesn't look like it in this pictures, she really loved it! I even put her on a horse that went up and down, and she was doing her happy dance while we went around!
