Lagoon-A little slice of heaven

What do you do to celebrate? Well for the 6Clarks, we go to Lagoon. Especially if it's Frightmares! Since we always take the kids, Holly and I never get to go on rides together. So she sent out an email to a bunch of friends to see if there was any interest in a couples only date night at Lagoon. She got back a ton of responses saying "we would love to go" or we are "Totally in." As the day came closer, the emails started pouring in from these same people except they were like, "we couldn't find a sitter", or "my kid has a game," etc... Well by 5:30 Friday night Holly and I were all ready to go...but apparently we were the ONLY ones. We were stood-up by literally 20 people (but all were legit reasons). Even some friends from Ogden bailed, which is strange because everyone from Ogden loves Lagoon! So Holly and I had to make a decision, and we decided to go anyway. On the way to Lagoon we grabbed some pizza at a new place called Settebello. Soooo good! We arrived at Frightmares at 7:30 and we were so happy to flash our good ol' season passes. We didn't waste any time hitting every ride. Let me tell you, we were laughing our heads off. Not only because the rides were so fun, not because we rode Colossus 5 times in a row, not because we stayed upside-down the entire "Rock O Planes" ride, and not because we were just having so much fun together. It was because we met the coolest people there. Who needs to invite friends to Lagoon when you can just meet better ones there? This is our new friend Ron Grant in the picture with Sam, and the other picture is of his girlfriend's back tat. These are the kind of friends you get to hang with at Lagoon. Anyway, the night was awesome and I am so glad Holly and I still went. Here are some pics to show how much fun we were having. The only downer of the night was Holly realized after getting off of "Wicked" that her cell phone was no longer in her coat pocket. So 2 hours later we checked back to see if it was found or smashed underneath the roller coaster, and by some miracle Holly hawk-eyed it in the bushes under the ride! It was trashed but at least we recovered her SIM card.

Sorry Gina and I couldn't be there to check out that tramp stamp first hand. And doubly sorry now that I know you went to Settebello. They make some good pie!
