We had our 2005 water park experience a couple weekends ago, and we had a great time. It was an Indian Princess outing, but we invited along the entire families for a change. The girls get braver every time we hit a theme park. Our favorite was the long two-person tube ride, with daddy holding Wrenny up in her tube with his feet so she didn’t fall in the hole, and Reiley braving the front of Mom’s tube, glad she didn’t have dad’s extra weight to throw her around too much. We hit that one 3 or 4 times. The girls also braved a faster shorter two-person version where we went fast enough to almost catch some air. Speaking of… one of the highlights of the day was watching mom rocket down “daredevil drop” – a slide that was (no lie) 5 or 6 stories high, pretty much straight down. We could hear her scream from below as she started to freefall, picking up enough speed to shoot a huge spray by the end of the ride. Good one mom! Add in a trip around the Lazee river, pirate ship jumping and getting knocked over in the wave pool, and we came home soaked, wiped out, and smiling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
