Water Park 2010

The kids had a long weekend from school last weekend so we took a mini family vacation to Dundee, Michigan and spent a couple days at Splash Universe, the new water park they've put in there. We can't say that is it's our favorite of the water parks we've been to, but it was perfect for our little weekend and we had a FABULOUS time!!

The lazy river was definitely a kid favorite and we spent many hours floating in it's current and "diving" in it's side pool.

Paige got a new swim suit for the occasion and it "suited" her well, as you can see.

She also picked out these "fashion" shoes, in lieu of flip flops. I thought she might have a heart attack right there in the store when she spotted them and I personally thought I was going to have heart break when I panicked thinking there weren't any in her size. But, we both survived and she got her jewels and life was good. :)

Connor was always up for a challenge and lept the logs often through the weekend.

This is the smile of a little girl having the time of her life!

Paige was great! "Come on, Mommy! It's so much fun!"

Jake, too, kept the logs in use!

Champion!

These are faces of kids having a GREAT time!!!

After time in the water we did some Arcading!

Good ol' Skee Ball!

You will NEVER seen one of my sons on one of these in real life.
They have been taught that they are death machines that make

young boys do stupid things! :)

A little target practise.

Paige really enjoyed air hockey. She thought if you got the puck in her goal that she was winning. It was marvelous...since both her parents are so good at the game! :)

This was a roller coaster ride. Connor was hilarious! He was scared out of his mind. I'm not sure how he's going to be with heights in future. Cracked us up!

I was feeling a little bad that I didn't have "Steve" written across my back when we were at the water park. But, what do you expect when you're next store to a huge hunting store!

Connor requested this picture to be taken with the bears :)

A little bow & arrow testing...

And Connor's purchase with his own money. He is the King of Campfire. He loves all his little contraptions that cook marshmallows and now ...hot dogs! He was so proud of his purchase!

Back home again, we took baths and then were going to watch a family movie. Some of us didn't make it through the movie...

What a great family time we had! We are so thankful!
