Water Park Weekend!

This weekend we spent two wonderful days with family at the water park.  The kids love these fun days and look forward to them every year.  I didn't get as many pictures as I had hoped, but I did manage to get a few.

My little six month old pearl

Here are the kiddos on one of their favorite rides, the rippling rhino.  I went on this with the kids, it seats a raft of four.  One person has to go down backwards, and it was me!  Riding backwards plus in the complete dark really did not help my motion sickness at all!

Dawson our little adrenaline junkie is really looking forward to being 48 inches.  Then he will be able to do more rides and not have to wear a life jacket all the time.

Ava was much more daring this year, and rode all the rides with her brothers.  She said she really liked the Swahili Swirl, one of the rides she didn't go on last year.

I asked Carter about his favorite, but he said he really prefers the lazy river because he doesn't have to wait in line.  They also learned that if you got there right when the park opened you could ride everything with no wait at all!

This year they are:  Carter 9, Ava 7, Dawson 6, Andrew 4, Abigail 2 and Owen 6 months

Little O had fun splashing with in the water.  He really wasn't bothered by being splashed and had a big smile on his face in the water.

We also played ball together which he liked.  I took him on the lazy river and he had to wear a life jacket.  He did not like the life jacket very much, although he didn't cry he just went stiff as a board and hardly moved.

The kids had a blast spending time with family and they are currently sleeping like rocks.  Happy Birthday Grandma and Bo and thank you so much!
