Spur of the Moment

Hey,nothing beats those last minute decisions to do something totally unexpected, right? Saturday, my daughter and I were somewhat bored so when she suggested we go to Water Safari,it took all of two seconds to agree,then we sprang into action. Clint was a bit mystified at first but later, he was game for everything Water Safari had to offer.  Check on his first solo water slide...I think he thought his Mommy was gonna slide down with him, but nope this would be solo and his arms and legs are spread wide -- the landing is something else, he cried a little bit (shock I suspect) but he wanted to go again:

Now watch his back-ass-ward slide...the landing gets no points but he loved it...a little upset about his landing but hey, it's just water -- he kept going back to do it over and over.  By now, even Mimi was no longer asking "who is catching him?"::



As the day wore on we tried many different water areas -- keep in mind, he is 22 months so we were not about to do anything silly here.  He loved it all...the tidal wave was really cool--he loves the waves and likes to jump when they approach...so brave:

He had a blast and so did we...he was so much fun to watch and he loves the water. You will notice, I am sure, that altho he kinda shrieked when a wave hit, he kept going out further...brave little fella. As long as he can touch the bottom, all is good.  We were getting exhausted, correction, Mimi was getting exhausted but it was so much fun.  It's a bit of a drive to Water Safari but hey, we managed and drove back without hitting any deer so that is good.  Food is expensive at the Park tho, paid $2.75 for one corn dog -- damn it was good but that is pricey in my book.  No wonder people bring ice chests full of drinks and food.

I do have one gripe tho -- the ladies changing room (when you enter or leave the park) is up this damn hill, pushing a stroller and later, tried bodies hiking up this to change was just unreal...but the men, get this crap, their changing room/bathroom is on the lower level, no climbing for them...obviously this was designed by a man!!!

The only thing that would have made this day even more fun was if the Minnesota kids had been with us.  Yes, they have been here, twice,but Saturday the weather was perfect, not to hot nor too cold and it was just a great day.  A bit crowded but everyone was gracious and happy.

So our spur of the moment decision to visit and play at the Water Safari Park was perfect and we definitely had a great Saturday...good idea Kel, thanks for allowing me to tag along too.  I didn't do the slides but I did get wet and I was, after all, taking tons of photos...
Water Safari Park is truly a fun place for the entire family ---long drive but hell, what isn't a long drive these days.  We had a blast and the weather was great. Hope you have a great weekend too.  Now the one challenge still remaining is my inflatable kayak...still gotta try this out, right?  Oh ya, photos for dang sure, if it happens (yes,it will happen).
