Lots of fun in the sun

So it's pretty hot here in Arizona! Thanfully there is a super fun water park less than 15 minutes from our house!
SunSplash!
This year I was smart and purchased Season passes for us (well, for me and the 3 older kids) If you buy them before the end of May they are only $49.99 each - they are regularly priced at like $80.00 each! If you buy a ticket at the door it is $26.00!  So I got a pretty great deal! We have tried to go once and week and we are having a blast. We always look forward to our little swim party! One week Dan and Olivia came along with us too and so I bought a waterproof camera and took pictures along the way.
In order for Olivia to be in the Wave pool she has to wear a life jacket, which she actually didn't mind wearing.

Ethan LOVES the wave pool - not really sure why....but he does.

Ethan & Spencer under the waves

This whole day Dan spent most of it with Olivia in either the Wave pool, lazy river or the tadpole area. She is about an inch too short for the slides. Maybe next year.

I got to be the lucky one and ride the rides with the kids. This is Ryleigh and I on the Master Blaster! So FUN!

Ry in the Lazy River.

In the Tadpole area they have these slides for the little kids, which I am sure to them seem huge! Olivia had a BLAST going down the slides, she just did it over and over and over....

Spencer and Ethan - there is always room for a little healthy competition. Racing on the lily pads.

 In the end we had a REALLY fun day! We were all a nice golden brown (except Dan, who was an ouchie blistery red) and exhausted..... I can't wait to do it again.

So great you are building those important family memories. One day your kids will be sitting around as adults at one of their kitchen tables and say, "Remember how we used to go to that waterpark? What was the name of it." and "Yeah, and remember Dad was too chicken to go on the waterslides with us?"

(He-he. Just kidding.)

They are lucky kids!
