The local water park has a great reading program for school age kids. If they read 600 minutes during the last semester, they get a free pass to Roaring Springs. It gave us a great opportunity to go because we never would have been able to pay for all of us to go!
Our friend Olivia earned a ticket too so we headed to the park a few days before we both moved. We had a blast!
Gracen is fearless and fiercely independent. She insisted on going up and down the kid slides by herself and I did my best to keep an eye on her.
This slide below was actually pretty scary. I wish this picture showed you how high it was. It made my stomach flip-flop! All of the slides had warning signs saying that people with certain medical conditions (including pregnancy) shouldn't go on them. I was about 13 weeks along when we were here and this was the only slide I went on that I wondered if maybe the warning signs should have kept me off. :)
Yeah, I smoked the kids when I raced them. Having 100 lbs on the heaviest of them didn't hurt. ;)
Eli was just big enough to make the 48 inches height cut off. I was surprised at how brave he was. He even wanted to go on the crazy "Avalanche" one that is basically a big "U" shape and you go on a tube that goes up and down until it settles in the middle. Looked terrible to me. Alden kept his eyes shut tightly when they went, Eli loved it. :)
After 5 hours on the slides, we were one of the last to leave the park at closing, very unready to go.
