Cory has really been wanting to take the kids to Splash Station this summer so when Emily and the girls came to play on Saturday, we decided that it would be a perfect time to go. We skipped naps (a decision that we would later regret!) and headed to the local pool ready to escape this heat for a little while. Parker and Addison took off as soon as we got there and didn't look back. They loved the slide in the children's area and kept going down the slide over and over again.
Eden and Aubrey were not as excited about the water. They had to wear life jackets so that Emily and I did not have a heart attack worrying about them drowning in the water. The life jackets were bulky and hard to move in and they were too scared to go down the slide, so they spent most of their time walking in the shallow part of the water or clinging to us whining (remember, neither one of them had a nap!)
Lily enjoyed hanging out with me in the shallow water but she refused to keep her sunhat on so we didn't get to stay in the water very long. She also had a little bit of an allergic reaction to some of the sunscreen I used and got very red and splotchy- oops! That didn't help her mood at all!
After about an hour of swimming, we decided that a snack might give us some extra energy to keep swimming. The kids loved the nachos but even with the snack, it became very clear that the little girls had reached their limit, so we packed up and headed home. Overall, it was a successful outing, especially for Parker and Addison. They absolutely loved it and we will definitely have to take them back again soon!
