Flashing WAY WAY WAY back…

Published by Brillig at 11:11 am under Flashback Friday

…to last Tuesday.

Okay, so that’s cheating. Still, they LOOK like old pictures, right?

We took these pictures at Lagoon in their Pioneer Village.

Fluffy was so excited to be dressed as a “princess.” We preferred that term to “bar floozy.” Hahaha. One day she’ll know the difference, but she doesn’t have to now. The important thing is that she wore a sparkly dress and a feather boa. Yeah. It doesn’t get any cooler than that. I’m the outlaw in the back (holding a GUN no less! Many of you know how astonishing that is…), and Bubba was thrilled to be a cowboy–so thrilled, in fact, that he couldn’t keep from smiling in the “serious” picture. But what a cute smile! And then in the middle, dressed as the other “princess” is my sister Laura, who is the best Lagoon-companion you could ever have. She’s fun and funny and loves my kids (and they love her back!!!) And isn’t she GORGEOUS!!!???

Anyway, as you can see, we had SUCH a great time!

Here are a few more highlights … cuz we all love pics, right?

They had the option of riding separately, but chose to ride together. It just made my little mommy-heart melt!

Bubba and Laura on the carousel

Waiting in line…

Whizzin’ past me on a roller coaster

Train ride! (And yes, my hair is in pigtails. That’s what makes me a “fun mom,” okay?)

Yay for Lagoon day! We liked it so much that we’re going back next week! (Good thing I sold a kidney on the black market so that I can afford all of this, right?) Laura has to work (frickin’ brackin’ work…) so I’m taking my mother-in-law instead. Hahaha. That will be a very… different vibe, but doubtless lots of fun too!

Oooh looks like fun! Can me and the twins come next time ?
# Worker Mommyon 20 Jul 2007 at 11:25 am

Or should I say “the twins and I”. Aah who cares…all I know is it looks like a blast and I’m much prefer that over the work i’m doing now.

Very Wednesday Addams of you, Brill!

Awww so fun! I love Lagoon! I wish I could join you next time. I do, however, get to see you next week! YAY!!
# Sheilaon 20 Jul 2007 at 12:17 pm

How fun! I’ve always wanted to do a family pic like that (mostly for the “princess” garb- I’m a sucker for sparkles and a feather boa)!

You are a fun mom, with or without the darling hair! See you next week! Hooray!

Ahh that looks fab.
And your kids are so cute.
I love days like that.
# Jenniferon 20 Jul 2007 at 1:39 pm

So glad you’re back! The blog is looking fab, dahling, as is your hair in braids.
# CableGirlon 20 Jul 2007 at 2:12 pm

Your kids are just too cute. What fantastic smiles!
# Luisaon 20 Jul 2007 at 2:45 pm

Love it! I’ve always wanted to do those Old West photos! The kids are scrumptious. And it’s more than the pigtails that make you a fun mom….

I always wanted to take one of those “old tymie” photos but never have. Hower, I do already own my own “princess” outfit. Me & Fluf should definitely hang.

groovy plaits!! you’re clearly a hip groovin’ mama Brillig.
# Annette Lyonon 20 Jul 2007 at 9:10 pm

So fun for you!

I did one of those photos the summer after HS graduation with a bunch of friends. Alas, if it ever unsurfaces, I’ll have to go under cover! It was horrendous.
# Dedeeon 20 Jul 2007 at 9:22 pm

I’ve always wanted one of those pictures too. I’d love to get one with my dh ‘cuz he looks great ina duster. Love the pics. Now I know what you look like! Hee hee.
# Nanetteon 21 Jul 2007 at 3:24 am

Fun! I was wondering if they still did those photos in pioneer village!

Now….this http://farm1.static.flickr.com/119/252125500_571c762e28_o.jpg
is a proud mommy moment on the cars. (Yes, they look totally disturbed)

Wonderful photographs! How much fun is that? thank you for sharing.

Hi, I came for a visit from Novembrance. Great blog. I am not as snooty as you, and probably not as fun either, but your blog looks great, and I thought I would comment. I, my 4 +1 kids and my sister and her 3 little ones went to our historic fort last week and had a great time. We didn’t do the photo but I think that it is a good idea to do once for a keepsake. I think we are going back in a few weeks and will consider it. I laughed at what you said about the princess outfit, so true. I never thought of the kidney thing, I was wondering how we were going to pay for college. Love your blog.

Looks like lots of fun! I’ve always wanted to take one of those pictures. And your pigtails are cute : )
# cherannon 22 Jul 2007 at 8:44 am

I love wearing my hair that way. I call it my pocahontas look.
# Butrfly4404on 23 Jul 2007 at 7:06 am

That sounds like fun. Love the “princess” look!

Such cute pics - I love in the last one, you’re like, “No…stay Right Here…Smile!”
# Shaunaon 23 Jul 2007 at 7:14 pm

You’re back!
Love the pigtails!
# LawyerMamaon 24 Jul 2007 at 3:34 pm

Your kids are adorable! And I love the pigtails.
# canadianflakeon 25 Jul 2007 at 9:22 pm
