The Water Park

While Jennifer and kids were down here we had one nice day and that happened to be Saturday! We woke up that day, had a nice birthday breakfast for Chris because the next morning was fast Sunday so we couldn't eat then. After breakfast we played some games with Keith and Rachel while Jennifer napped because Thomas was not feeling well.

While Jennifer was getting ready to take Thomas to the doctors Chris was playing the guitar in our bedroom. Keith and Rachel came in to listen to Chris and started to dance on the bed. It was great. One time I asked Rachel to dance with me and she said no because she already knew how to dance! It was fun to watch them. Chris didn't know many songs that they knew so they just danced around for fun on the bed.

After Jennifer left we took the kids to the park and played with a basketball and football that Keith had gotten the day before. Chris and Keith played lots of racing games and they had fun while Rachel was tired and would sit on my lap and watch them with me. I didn't have my camera out at the time so I didn't get any pictures of them. When we realized that it was warm out and that the water park was indeed open, we went home and got swimsuits on and had lunch and went back to the park!

Rachel was scared of the water and didn't like being alone because Keith would leave her to run around everywhere.

The one coming out of the tube is Keith. He was scared to do it but I think Chris talked him into it. Probably something like "You will regret never having gone down that slide if you don't do it now!"

This was the only time we got Rachel to run around to multiple water spout-thingys. She was very nervous and didn't want to get wet. I understand because the water was really really cold.

This last one is of Rachel in her usual spot. She liked this fountain because it wasn't taller than her and it was close to where Chris and I were standing. She would usually stick her feet in it or her hands and the run around on the dry cement so she could see her footprints. After a while Keith was freezing because he was always running through the water while Rachel was still mostly dry.

I didn't get a picture of it but to walk up to the slides you have to walk under this pipe that shoots water down on you and Rachel was really scared of it so she wouldn't go up to the slides but she wanted to go down them. To get passed this I grabbed her and put her on the red slide as high as I could and let her go down. She seemed to like it but never wanted to do it again. Maybe next time I will say things like Chris to get her to go down it by herself.
