Waterpark!

Noni had gotten free waterpark tickets for herself and the girls through her school's reading program so on Thursday of our "Staycation" we headed over there! We also invited Auntie Nae, Waylon, and Kenzie to join us!

Peanut was SO excited about the "train ride" which is a little roller coaster shaped like a train. She talked about it for days leading up to our trip so it was the first thing she wanted to do!

Made it!

 

She wasn't tall enough to go on some of the kiddie rides, but Bug and Boo enjoyed the frog drop.

Peanut happily went on the airplanes and helicopters though! She was so excited to try every ride that she was tall enough for. Bug and Boo joined her for a round on the airplanes.

 

Peaches only got snatches of naps, but at least she slept some in the stroller.

 

It would have been the perfect day if it had been 10 degrees warmer. We had a great time, but it was pretty chilly when we got wet...such as on this ride. We all got soaked from the waist down, but the kids loved it!

Auntie Nae stayed with the little ones so the rest of us could ride it.

After lunch we left the theme park and headed over to the water park side. The water was chilly so the kids didn't play too much, but they did have a some fun.

This was a new ride since last year. It's a race and they put your times up on a reader board. Daddy, Boo, and Bug went on it. 

Daddy won!

The favorite was the family raft ride. We took Bug and Boo down it several times, then they talked Auntie Nae and Daddy into going on it again. I think they went down it 5 or 6 times.

Everybody was shivering so we changed back into dry clothes and headed back to the theme park. Daddy stopped and bought them candy apples on the way.

Then it was back to the train coaster. I think they rode this thing about ten times over the course of the day. Haha :)

So happy!

I fed Ez while they went on the bumper boats. Boo was a pro! There was one boy who looked to be 10-12 who got stuck out in the pond because he couldn't figure out how to drive his boat back to the dock, but Boo handled hers like a pro and zipped right in there!

Peaches wasn't having it to take her afternoon nap in the stroller so Noni held her until she fell asleep.

Daddy took Bug and Boo on one of the BIG roller coasters. They came back a little queasy. :P 

Peanut rode the helicopters four times, the doggy ride twice, and the kiddie Ferris wheel while we waited. She had so much fun!

We stayed as long as we could before having to leave to make it home for bed. We had to stop and do the carousel on the way out. Noni has a picture of T and I on this in high school all dressed up in our Choir formal wear. We had done a show there. :)

Despite the cooler weather it was a great day and we all had a lot of fun! The whole week went way too fast, but we had a great time and enjoyed our last week full of summer fun as a family!
