Water Babies

Sunday found us at an indoor water resort about an hour's drive away. The boys had the time of their lives. This place has huge water slides, kiddie water slides, a tubing "river ride," several pools, and a toddler pool. I didn't get many photos because my camera is not waterproof, plus it would have been too hard to get many pictures of them anyway and I didn't want to spoil our fun by dragging out the camera all the time.

This place is located not far from my work, and it sucked to have to drive so far on a day off; additionally I picked up a stomach bug the night before and felt miserable most of the day, but it was well worth it to see how much fun my little guys had at this place! I think my older neice would have a blast there too.

They sported their new Thomas the Train swim trunks...

At lunchtime, they wait patiently for our fries and pizza. This is a kids resort, so I was surprised that they serve alcohol there but did not sell milk! So my guys had to make due with water, as I haven't introduced them to sodas yet, and will not until they find out eventually through another source that such a beverage exists.

At the end of our stay I snapped a couple photos of the place, so my kids are not in these, but it kind of shows the fun they had. Below is a shot of the monsoon that would hit randomly and douse everyone with water.

These yellow slides were the kiddie slides and the only ones my guys could use, as they didn't meet the height requirement for the bigger ones. Which turned out to be a good thing since I tried one of the big slides myself and it was a little scary! L&L might have been traumatized a long time if I'd let them try it.

At the landing, I had a little wardrobe malfunction with my bikini top but luckily not many people were standing there before I managed to get it adjusted! That water comes at you pretty fast on the landing.

We got there at 10:15 or so, right after they opened, and it was already pretty packed. My guys just loved it. We shared a tube for the river ride (they sure are getting heavy!) and their eyes were so wide and in awe as we rode around and around the "river," then Lm loved the toddler pool because he could splash in there to his heart's content without having me nag him when at home he floods my bathroom while in the tub. Lk's favorite was the slide that he went down over and over.

They had lunch around noon, then back in until 1:45, when Lk started to get cranky. They normally take naps at 1:30 so I wanted to see how long they would last. I thought they would sleep on the car ride home but instead they were giggling and teasing each other all the way. This meant they took a nap at home and I got one too!
