Lagoon Day!

I know I'm slow getting this post up but...late is better than never right?

It is fun to read all of the headstones that they have around the park. They do a great job with the decorations!

Ever since the middle of summer, Scott and I have been talking about going to Lagoon. I had not been for several years and Scott was not sure if he had ever been before. We decided that we wanted to go during Frightmares because not only do you get to enjoy the wonderful Fall weather, but they also do several haunted houses in the evenings.

I know I'm showing a little belly but...
if you had a stomach that small you would show it off too. ;)

We decided to go up to Kaysville on Friday (October 17th) and spend the night there so we could get up and head over in the morning. Some time between our time of arrival on Friday night and when we were leaving Saturday morning, we convinced Mom and Dad to join us for the day. (Patrick had already agreed to come with some friends.)

Our favorite ride

It was so much fun to spend the day with everyone and ride all of the rides which I hadn't been on before. The new ride, Wicked, seemed to be one of the favorites. I was also very impressed with the fact that Scott only peeked in the arcade room. I think that had something to do with the fact that the hunting game he wanted to play was broken. He did get the chance to play the "Guess It" game. Now, for those of you who are not avid Lagoon goers, allow me to explain.

Waiting in line....they weren't too bad that day, but still not the most entertaining thing to do. Well, unless you are with Mr. Scott Davis.

There are three different ways to win the "Guess It" game. The first way is by having the host of the game guess your birth month. If the host guesses your birth month or one month before or after, you lose the game. The second way is to have the host guess your weight within 3 pounds. (Let me add in here, they have you stand on a painted yellow star while they are guessing. I'm pretty sure it has a scale underneath it.) The last way to win is to have them guess your age within 3 years. Scott was certain that he could win by having the host guess his age since people are constantly asking him when he is going to graduate from high school or if he is planning on going on a mission. He paid the two bucks and we both slipped off our wedding rings. The girl wrote on her piece of paper how old that she thought he was and then said, "Okay, how old are you?" Scott's response of "26" certainly came as a shock to her as she showed the crowd her guess of "21." Needless to say, he won me a stuffed dog worth probably about 50 cents. Sunk costs are irrelevant though, all that matters is WE WON!

I loved this picture but Dad's eyes were closed! Sorry Dad, I had to post it anyway.

I am so happy that we all finally were able to enjoy a Saturday together! I've worked all but two Saturdays now (since June) so it is definitely nice to have a break and be able to do whatever we want.

I almost did not post this due to the inappropriate nature of what my brother was wearing. I caved however because of the hillarious woman in the background who was talking on her phone, looking through her purse, and wearing a hat which matched her pants. She just sat on the ground in the middle of the park and did this. Gotta love Lagoon...

"Happy Trick-or-Treat"

Halloween started early at our house this year. I woke up around 6 to give Scott his Halloween present (a new shirt) and card. He may have been slightly unhappy with the hour at which I chose to present him with these things but he was a good sport about it.

The rest of the day I had to work (meaning I had a staff meeting at 9 and worked until 7:30) and so pretty much the whole day was spent fake-laughing at the comments of clients who came through. One lady that comes in all of the time doesn't ever say Halloween but always calls it "Trick-or-Treat." I'm not sure where she got this from but she referenced Halloween several times in the conversation and always called it "Trick-or-Treat." When she left, she turned over her shoulder and shouted, "Happy Trick-or-Treat!" Can anyone tell me if this is a regional thing?

Everyone in my branch was asked to dress up and in an effort to come up with a 'really good' Halloween costume I thought to myself, "Well, I might as well wear my $500.00 prom dress more than once!" (Don't worry folks, I didn't pay that much for the dress. In fact, I didn't pay anything for it. Different story for a different day.) So it was decided that I would be a fairy godmother. Anyway, I got up early and decided to go 'all out' by crimping my hair. Yes, believe it or not I do still own a crimper thanks to my mom who crimped my hair daily from ages 2-5. :) I followed the hair crimping by slathering foundation (which I don't ever wear) gobs of eye make-up, glitter, blush and lipstick on. When Scott came in the bathroom his comment was, "Honey, I think you are wearing a little too much make-up." Thank goodness this was an intentional overdose.

Work went pretty well besides the fact that I had a 4 foot clearance area I had to deal with all day and a stinkin' heavy dress. No worries though, the flip-flops under the dress were probably the best decision I could have made that day.

My mom came by around 1 o'clock to see my costume, take some pictures (the picture posted is courtesy of her) and take me to lunch. What a great mom I have! After lunch we went and looked at cards...one of my favorite things to do...and then we both went back to work.

I was so excited to hand out candy at our house when I got home but was sorely disappointed with the fact that not only did we not have very many trick-or-treaters, but they were already dying off when I got there so I got to hand out a whopping 2 pieces. Oh well, there is always next year.

Scott and I decided to eat in so we ran and got Cafe Rio and chowed down while watching a 'scary' movie. I must admit, however, that I don't remember anything about this movie since I snoozed through the whole thing. We had a pretty fun day and it was nice to be able to spend the evening together.

I'm curious though, what did everyone else dress up as?
