Aqua Adventure

Here we are at Aqua Adventure
We went last month with Theo and Throy and Chloe
There was a Splash Park area
Which was a lot of fun and near where we were sitting
It was especially nice for Throy because he could play there on his own
The park also had a lazy river and water slides
There was also a play structure in the center of the river with toddler slides and more splashing
On the far end of the park was a regular pool about 3-4 feet deep
We rented tubes too for the river and water slides which were fun
Here is Berrin and Throy floating along on the river
We found a nice place to all sit together on beach chairs
We had some snacks and lunch while we were there too
It was a beautiful day, in the water it was nice and cool
So we didn't realize we were getting sun burnt
I even put sun screen on 4 or more times throughout the day
But for weeks afterwards I was peeling. Holly wasn't to bad
But she was red and it hurt a little for a couple of days
I put aloe lotion on her and she was ok, no peeling and it turned tan
This is a entrance to the lazy river, it starts at zero depth and goes to about three feet
The girls spent a lot of time playing there as it was shallow and had lots of room to move around
Later in the day we tried out these little life jackets
We discovered Holly could swim on her own while wearing one. She loved it, and we went around and around the river like this. She had a blast. Joel and I even had a chance to both do some of the water slides. We had a wonderful day. The park was a lot of fun.

Octapretzles

A few months back we headed over to Studio Grow for a concertIts a great place for that kind of thing because Holly is so comfortable thereThe band playing was Octapretzles which is a pretty cool groupHolly spent a good deal of time listening and dancingMost of the songs though were ones she didn't knowBut they were rather engaging so she followed alongFor a while, but then she needed to run off and get some spaceShe could run off and play and come back and listen some moreI did my best to get her to stay thoughBut she wanted to do art and ride the Roller CoasterThen she danced around in the Ballet roomDaddy was with us which is always super funHere she is paintingAnd then she decided to check out the blocksBut she goes back and forth a lot from one activity to the nextWe always have fun making cool hand printsWe wanted to bring her to this show because she has had problems with other shows in the pastShe actually did really good at this show, but there was not a stage and no seatsSo it was less intimidating, but still she needed to pay attentionAnd that was a challenge
Here we are practicing our gymnastics, doing somersaultsThen we decided to play with some MonkeysShe got to stack them and line them all upI can't however remember when we last went to Studio GrowIt has been several monthsWe have had such a busy summer and so many other places to goMy winter pass expiredI also think Holly is sort of out growing itBut we should go again soon as the distance always makes it fun againHere is Holly playing super Bunny, one of her favorite gamesFlying through the air and speeding around. We had an awesome day.
