A family adventure

On Thursday, we took the boys to Wild Waves. The weather was beautiful, Adam had the day off... time for a family adventure! Since the boys are still so young, we weren't sure if it would be worth the money. However, Costco had pretty cheap tickets so we decided to go for it. It was actually a lot more fun than I was expecting!

Wild Waves does have a huge water play structure for little ones. The only problem was, Jacob wasn't the biggest fan of water bursting out of random places at unexpected times. He finally braved climbing into this crazy fort, when I saw several employees holding buckets of water up above everyone. I gave one a "please don't dump that on my son" look, but he took it as a "please don't dump that on me" look and drenched both of us. So Jacob and Gavin played their hearts out on the mini waterslides outside of the big fort. These simple waterslides entertained them for a LONG time. We could also take them in the wave pool and the innertube river ride. Since it was so hot, there wasn't even shivering between activities! ;)

The funniest thing was that when we were in line for the innertube river ride, Gavin ran right up to a stranger and wrapped his little arms around his leg. This man picked Gavin up and Gavin nuzzled into him. Knowing full well he thought it was his daddy, I nudged Adam and motioned to this display of affection. Adam was cracking up and said, "Gavin, did you get the wrong Daddy?" You could actually see Gavin's little brain working. He looked at Adam and was like, wait a second. If you're my Daddy... then. who. is. holding. me?! He took a double-take, his eyes widened, and his arms immediately burst out toward Adam. It was funny... I guess men in swim trunks all sort of look alike to a one-year old. :)

Jacob was even more excited when we got dressed and headed for Enchanted village. There were tons of cute little kid rides that both Jacob and Gavin could go on. From kangaroos to spaceships, boats, cars, and roller coasters... they loved it. The best part was that there were no lines for any of the rides, so they could get right on as many times as they (or the parents) could handle. Sorry I don't have pictures! We didn't bring the camera inside. :)
