Vacation

Here are a few pictures from our few days away. About all I have pictures of is the waterpark - but then that is all we did all week. It really was a blast for the kids. It was a smaller park compared to the WI Dells parks, but it was perfect for our kids at the age they are now. We will grow into the bigger parks soon enough!

We have this great idea that all of you out in Colorado need to come up here next January and make it a full family vacation. You can get great out of season deals. We'll have to talk about it!

Here Owen is explaining to a complete stranger his fascination with the "boat dump it." (For illustration see the following pictures).

The boat dumps over 1,000 gallons of water every 5 minutes.

Waiting for the dump . . .

Here it comes . . .

Whoosh!

Happily soaked!

Carra loved, loved, loved the waterslides. The problem was that we had to climb many stairs to get to the top of the slides - and she was much faster than Buff or I. If I paused to catch my breath, she would stop a few seconds then say, "Come on, we have to go!" I should have lost at least 5 pounds from all the cardio vascular excercise she put me through!

I think he is part frog!

The lazy river
How come they don't look relaxed?

"Da spinkwer"
Wow, did he have fun in the kiddy sprinklers. He ran for 2 days straight - and slept very well at night. Every time he got wet, he had to come and explain to me what happened. Every time. . .

Riding in the elevator. Evidently it created a unique sensation. Notice there are two Owens. It truly feels like there must be two Owens most days. That kid has all the energy the other kids never used up!
