Beech Bend/Splash Lagoon- Part II

After tackling just about every ride we could and Layla taking a sheep to the gut at the petting zoo, we decided it was time to make our way over to the wet side of the park and cool off. The kiddie pool/slides/playground bonanza is dead center and we found a perfect spot right near the water. We never left.

The kids and I have spent tons of time at the pool, wave pool, etc doing all these fun things but Nathan hasn't been able to go with us so they were hanging allll over him and incessant with the "Daddy, watch me" tricks. =) I pretty much just followed with my camera, doing head counts every so often, and giving him a break when he needed it!





We stopped to cover ourselves in dippin' dots and then again in shaved ice. We're food-people.










After letting our snacks settle, we decided to give the BIG water slides a go. Nathan and Layla tried them out first and had a BLAST. Once again, the twins were tall enough to ride (by themselves- crazy!), we took each of them down with us. These slides were MUCH bigger than the ones at the wave pool and they were completely enclosed so it's pitch dark on the inside! We weren't sure how they were going to handle that... Actually, we weren't sure how L would handle that first time down either, but she loved it! Apparently, the "babies" did too bc they wanted to do it over and over!

We had an abolutely fantastic day at the park. But the day wasn't over yet... (we just didn't know it). See next blog :)
