Rumor has it Papa after 40+ years is gearing up to retire. Great for him but sad for my kids who have spent a lot of time with cousins and some friends having a "great time here at Lagoon"!
Usually we make it out to Lagoon once for Frightmares but maybe we were feeling a little nostalgic that our time at Lagoon aka free season passes is ending we took a few trips out there this fall. A couple of the times we met up with cousins while John was the exec on the park and had a great time with the cousins.
Emily has a few friends with season passes and one of the days they caught a ride with us up there and stayed all day until one of the other girls mom's came to get them. I think they took more pictures than rides.
A nice family in our ward had season passes this year and took Emily with them a couple of times so we returned the favor and came up on a Friday after school one weekend.
It's always sad to see an era end but we are so grateful for all the memories made throughout the years as being a family at Lagoon. We may go back again but not for a couple of years. Maybe we can have a Richards family reunion there again when the new ride comes out?
I've been trying not to be sad seeing the various posts about Feller's retirement, but it is hard!! Lagoon is synonymous with dinner and with my Richards cousins. What a great, long run we've all enjoyed!
