Water Fun

This year I promised Josh that I would take him to a water park for the day. We used to go to Water World pretty regularly a couple years back and he missed the wet thrills. I almost broke that promise because I just didn't have the money to fork out for this family of four to go, the cost of entrance isn't bad for one but for four plus the cost of food and it gets outrageous. I almost broke the promise but my friend Cristina came through. She had four free tickets to Sunsplash in Roseville from her work and she wasn't going to have the chance to use them before Sunsplash closed for the season so she gave them to me.



Today I took my two kids plus Christian, Cristina's son and Josh's friend, for a day of water park fun. We had such a blast even though it was crowded and some of the lines for the big slides were really long. Carley wasn't tall enough to go on all the rides but she was able to go on quite a few that were for "big kids". There was one that was a big "bumpy" slide. Remember the ones that they have at state or county fairs that you ride while sitting on a burlap bag? It was like that but you lay face first on a foam pad with handles. The pad curves up in the front in order to keep the water under the pad and you on top. We all went down at the same time, there are six lanes next to each other. Carley was big enough for that. It was her favorite.

Anyway, it was a great day. We all had fun. I'm exhausted. I was telling Josh how tired I was and he said he wasn't. When I told him I didn't believe him, he said he was "only half tired". Guess who was first in bed.

I didn't want to take my main camera with me so instead I took my old point and shoot that has some problems. Wow. I was shocked at the difference in these pictures compared to my Nikon D40. The pictures even look worse uploaded here than they did on my computer. I couldn't bear the thought of not getting pictures of the day so these are definitely better than nothing.
