Summer Vacation

Our plan this summer was to go on our little family vacation to the beach in Alabama.  The kids vetoed that one because they didn't want drive that far :(  They chose the Schlitterbahn Water Park, where we went a few years ago.


 
It was great because they added a bunch of rides since last time, one of which wasn't even a water ride.  It was a zip line ride-- but not a free fall one.  It was pretty fun.
 
 
 
 
The first thing we did when we got there was to take a turn on all of the water slides while the lines were short.  Which was good because all the kids wanted to do the rest of the day was this: going around and around on the torrent river, waiting for the tidal waves that come every 30 seconds or so.  As long as they're happy... I like the water slides myself.

Luckily, I could.  As much as I love babies and have perennial cravings for a newborn of my own, it really is so nice to have older kids.  We could let them go off together and have some time to ourselves.
