Davis County Fair, Lagoon-A-Beach, and Bear Lake!

We had a fun weekend going to Lagoon Amusement Park, the Davis County Fair, and Bear Lake. We'll start with Lagoon.

We live less than 5 minutes from Lagoon and it has been an awesome family activity for us this summer. We bought season passes, knowing that we'd probably be going very often(a cheap date night since we're now house poor!). Cami and I have gone to Lagoon-A-Beach, the water park inside Lagoon, at least a dozen times this summer. It has the perfect little play area for toddlers. There are small water slides, similar to what you'd find at a regular park, swings, and the water is only about a foot and a half deep so she can easily walk through it. She likes walking through the caves and going down the slides--by herself!! She's been showing a lot more independence lately! They also have a lazy river and a pool area that goes to five feet so we've used this Park as our "neighborhood pool" all summer. It has been a blast! (Cami and I kick it together a lot since we don't really know anyone very well yet in Farmington. It's been great to have this time together. She is my little BFF :)


We also go on a few rides together in Lagoon. Bry, Cami and I go at nights and we hit the Carousel and the Safari Train Ride with Cami. She LOVES the Carousel and pets the different animals she rides on while she's going up and down. The train ride boasts of having the 2nd largest zoo in the state of Utah (which isn't saying much since Hogle Zoo is the "largest" zoo). They have White Tigers, Bengal Tigers, Lions, Llamas, Camels, Elk, Zebras, Miniature donkeys, Black leopards, Kangaroos, Golden Eagles, and a few other random animals. She is fascinated with Trains and Lions now!

 She loves going through the tunnel. We go back and forth and back and forth ...: )

So, next we went to the Davis County Fair on Friday. I entered Cami into the "Davis County Baby Show" for the 1 to 2 year olds, thinking it could be fun. When we got there and registered I realized that I made it to a tiny version of "Toddlers and Tiaras". Yikes! We went up on stage with all the other little girls with poofy dresses and makeup. She got a new ball from the experience, but I will make sure to not make that mistake again!

They did have a fun Petting Zoo where the kids could walk around and pet random animals. Cami petted a camel, a pony, an alpaca, a llama, a few different varieties of sheep and goats, a cow, a bunny, and a turtle. There was also a Zebra, but it was not there for petting. We listened to a few shows, walked through the bunny house, and the hen house, ate some food from the fair vendors and Cami played in the kids area. All in all it was a pretty fun time!

 This was her favorite! Riding the cars at the fair. They should've done a derby with these cars!


On Saturday we went to Bear Lake for the day. It's only about a two hour drive away! What a gorgeous Lake! I have been there before, but never realized how close it is to us now. I will do anything to get some beach time in. We played in the sand, went out and swam for awhile, did a picnic and just bathed in the sun. What a gorgeous day and what a fun day trip! I totally loved it! Next time we'll have to get some jet skis or a boat!

 Cami sat right on anything that Bryan tried to build in the sand. She's a destroyer :)
My little family! I am one lucky girl. We had an awesome weekend together. I love my family!!!
