Water Park!

The next day of my visit on Braden's birthday weekend, we took him to the water park near Jill's house. This was one of the best city water parks I've ever been to. There was a huge pool with waterfalls, mushrooms, slides, and dumping water frogs. Also, there was a kiddie pool with a rubber bottom. (Although they didn't put much thought into putting cement water shooting whales and seals. Hello, trip and hit your head!) And last but not least they had a kiddie slide.


At first Braden was shy about the water park thing. He wasn't going in deep, and didn't want water to dump on him. Well, that didn't last long at all! Before we knew it, he wanted to go down the slide, get the frogs to dump on him, and amazingly, we went under the waterfall mushroom- a lot! He can even go underwater and not freak out! Once he got this comfortable, it was hard to keep up with him! No wonder Jill wanted to come with me. At almost 9 months pregnant, it wasn't easy to keep up with a 2 year old. So, I chased him around! We had a great time at the water park. It was perfect, because it was sweltering hot out! Afterwards, we went to Graeters for some blue ice cream. What a perfect day! I even go a little tan! :o)
How adorable is he in his shades, ready to play!
This is the soft kiddie pool area with cement whales! Genius.

This is the big pool, and if you look under the guard's chair, you can see the mushroom that we went under, again, and again, and again... It was fun to play peek-a-boo around the pole in the middle!

These are the dumping water frogs that we'd sit under.

Here's Braden, running away to get back in the water!

Empty water slide during break, but not for long!

Going down with mom!
