Waterful Summer

 Splash Pad Park

While we go to the park to eat lunch most days, there are some days that we go to that make it hard to want to stay out in the sun for more park time. We went to a splash pad that is right next to a new park in town on Wednesday before lunch, which made Adrian very tired, and we skipped lunch at the park. There was a zip line at this new park that he loved even more than the swings! I'm hoping he will get better at sliding on his own because he does love to slide, but it's always in my lap. Even the girls didn't spend a lot of time over on the splash pad because this was the first time at this park, and it was really fun. Going to other places with all the kids can be kinda interesting...like a goofy girl lying below the shopping cart while picking up some medicine. One last interesting thing about the week was Adrian bringing his blanket out of his bed when he gets up in the morning and having fun either playing ghost or finding it and lying on it randomly.

Water Park

We had another adventure this week to Roaring Springs! Last year, the girls weren't tall enough to go down any of the bigger slides, but this year, Shay was 42.5 inches, so both of them were tall enough! They had fun climbing across the floating obstacles, swimming on their own to the stairs after the big slides, and being able to play with each other in the play areas. Since they are still under 12, they had to stay with one of us in each area, but they were good at following directions. Chris took them to the wave pool, I did the slides, and we all went together in the lazy river. At this age, we have decided that visiting once is enough for the summer, but when they are older, it is nice to live close, and we can look into season passes. I just don't like their snack rule...we aren't allowed any food except for Adrian. They want us to keep all the food in the car, which is just inconvenient to walk all the way out to the car for just a snack. Still a great fun time!
