Yesterday was such a beautiful day and what a better way to spend it then at a water park! To cross an activity off of Liam and Hannah’s “summer to do list” we decide to go to a water park about 45 minutes away. One of my friends has two kids that are Liam and Hannah’s age and get along really well so they came as well.
The sun was shining and the water felt great in the summer’s heat. I am so happy we decided to go to the water park, not just for the kids to have fun but to keep cool too. I was constantly chasing after Liam and Hannah to reapply sun screen. It is so hard to get them to sit down for two seconds to lather them up again. I made sure to get them good, so there would be no sun burn crabbiness.
Liam and my friend’s son were running around crazy going on all the water slides, the speedy mat slides, and playing in the water cannon area. They gave us a work out trying to keep up with them. Hannah and her friend were much better behaved and didn’t give us a run for our money. I was so proud of Hannah, she had a great time and was so cooperative.
We spent a lot of time in the adventure pool, which was great for my friend and me, it connected to a shallow weighting pool where we would sit in the water, catch up, and watch the kids.
We also convinced all our kids to go on the lazy river after lunch to let their stomachs settle instead of immediately going on the swirling slides... good judgment on our part. It was relaxing and the kids still had fun. There were little water falls and shooting water to keep them on their toes.
By 3:30 they were wiped. We loaded back up into the car after a fun day in the sun and water. The kids had a little snack and within 15 minutes were sound asleep. When we got home they ate dinner and fell asleep right away. They must have really had a good time using all their energy.
It was a wonderful day at the waterpark! The kids can’t wait to keep crossing activities off their “summer to do list.”
