WARNING! The following post contains lots of pasty, white skin clad in swimsuits...
I love Spring Break! It is awesome to have a week when we can take off and just be a family! We often choose to go someplace with an indoor water park, and that is what we chose this year too. While this wasn't our favorite place ever, it did have it's perks. Like the fact that is was pretty empty, and had a great area for little kids. Carter jumped right in and had a ball on the water slides!
Sydney has become quite a swimmer this last year, and has warmed up quite well to slides and water fun!
Except for when she was cold and shivery...
Here are the boys on the classic lily-pads. They all fell and they all finally conquered.
One of our favorite places to take a break from the slides was in the "Whirlpool". The water in this little pool is directed around to form kind of a whirlpool, vortex kind of effect. We would all get in there and go around and around, it caused some pretty good laughter.
(I warned you about the white, pasty skin remember.)
Now, speaking of things that go around and around, the favorite slide of all was affectionately named "The toilet bowl." My last experience with a slide like this was a little traumatic (it involved dumping my child out of the tube, and watching him get sucked into the "drain" part of the slide and not knowing where he would end up or if he could swim well enough to survive). I am proud to say that I faced my fears head on and faired much better on this slide!
And just to prove that I was there, and that I am just as pasty and white as everyone else...
So much fun to play with the kids! Some of my favorite memories from this trip are: eating out at Cracker Barrel where everyone found something to eat that they LOVED (that happens to be an accomplishment for us!), and everyone curled up at night on one bed and watching Rise of the Guardians. Good Times!
