9:05 AM - Halloween and Lagoon
I took the kids to Lagoon on Halloween day (Saturday). Bruce at work had 4 extra tickets. Deanne didn't go because she had a really bad cold and couldn't even talk. We went on all the ride Emma could ride on. We went on the chair lift accross the park. Lindy was scared she wouln't be able to hop on the chair fast enough. We've always helped her in the past. But, she and Joe did really well. I had to go in a seperate chair with Emma. I let Joe take all the picture on the train ride through the zoo. He tried to get a picture of every animal. Got most of them, I think. We went through the Terror Ride and Dracula's Castle for the first time. Nobody got scared. Lindy just laughed and wanted to do the Terror Ride again. She was a little scared before we went. She did the ride by herself later (the other two didn't want to go again and I had to stay with them--Lindy is getting braver).
We walked all over the park and went through a children's trick-or-treat path. Emma didn't want to go through at first besause they had wierd distorted pichtures of kids on the walls leading into it. These were regular photos of kids that had been distorted in Photoshop or some computer program so that they had really big bug-eys or giant ears or a pinched face. They were quite commical (as they were intended) but I think they really disturbed Emma. She eventally went through with me and got some candy. She enjoyed it except for that entrance way.
We all went on the bigger bumber cars for the first time. I got in a car with Emma (since she was too short to ride otherwise) and Lindy and Joe shared another one. Me and Emma slammed into them head-on and then they got slammed from behind at the same time and Joe bumped his head. They had a good time though.
After Lagoon, we went trick-or-treating. We went up to Glena's house where Joe and Lindy have their art class. We stopped by Ruth's house where Bruce and Alex were haning out. Ruth and the other kids are in Disney land. Alex didn't want to go. (Weird kid.) Then we sopped by Grandma and Grandpa's house. We then went around our neighborhood. Lindy and Joe wanted to keep going all night, but Emma was getting tired. I carried her a buch toward the end, but she is getting quite heavy. They got a ton of candy this year. Lindy was a vamire-witch, Joe was a camo-ninjah again (I think this is the third time in a row) and Emma was a little dog. We had to convincer her to be the dog because it was a warmer outfit than being a princess-ballernia or something like that. She's pretty easy-going.
