and the winner is...

nucors annual lagoon day...
we had a family craft day a few weeks ago to make kenadee's safety poster for lagoon day. we have made a few of these posters in the past, every child who makes a poster receives a $5-$10 gift certificate...but the winners get something bigger. we have wanted to win and this year it was our turn...
KENADEE WON FIRST PLACE!!!!!
the safety slogan we came up with was...
there is only one way home from work...
the safe way!!!!
mike helped out a lot and cut out ALL of the safety equipment...glasses, hard hat etc!!!
we really had a fun time making it together as a family. kenadee was so excited when we saw the blue ribbon. (i think i was even more excited!!!!)
for making a poster kenadee got $10, and for winning
1st place she got a
$200 savings bond!!! wow...thanks nucor!!!
yes...she was soooo excited!!!!
after the safety poster prizes they have a drawing for the employees at nucor. mike has not won in quite sometime (actually the only time he has won since we have been married is about 10 years ago and it was $50!!) they were giving away $100, $200, $250 and one $500 in cash!!! mike was the big winner...
$500 cash to MIKE MUMM!!!
kenadee went on many rides, and yes...
dad and mom went on the kiddy rides too!!
she was very aware of safety this year (maybe it was the poster!!).
she asked about seat belts, how high, when does it stop, and more.
but she was our brave little girl and had a great time!!!
our favorite was rattlesnake rapids.
mike was the winner on this ride...
he got the most wet!!!
what an incredible day we had as a family...
we celebrated our winnings at tapenyaki (not sure how you spell it)
with some friends, sushi and japanese grill!!! yummmmyyyyy!!!!
one of our best days this summer!!!
hope all of you are enjoying your summer with family and friends...
be safe and have FUN!!!

How fun! I love winning!

I haven't been to Lagoon since I was about five years old. How sad is that? The only thing I remember is some log ride in the water... Maybe we should go this summer.
