Fun at Splash Lagoon!

Here are some shots of the actual Water park part of our trip. We had a really good time. Caden sure proved us surprised, when he was going down adult water slides all by himself! He went down a bunch alone and then rode in the inner tube ones with one of us as well. He loved the enclosed slides, even the one he went down with daddy that is totally in the dark! I couldn't believe it! Courtney still wouldn't try any slides this time, which was disappointing... maybe some day she'll want to try them. She had fun in the activity pool, hot tub and the lazy river. I spent alot of my time with Colin in the Kiddy section, which was super fun too! there had 3 kid size water slides, one super fast one rapids one and 2 normal ones, Colin went down all 3 alone, he impressed us as well! Daddy really enjoying being able to go down the slides too, and was glad to have Caden partner up with him. It was a nice balmy 84 degrees insides and the water was the same temp. So you were never cold when you came out of the water. You were HOT when you got changed into your normal clothes to leave! We spent a couple "family" times as well in the Family hot tub ~ all 5 of us together. Colin enjoyed just lounging there and Caden kept asking Courtney to pull him around to "swim". I loved when Colin and I would relax along the lazy river.... I put him on my lap and he would lean his head back on my shoulder and just relax, those are the best times! All in all , we really did have fun. Yes, there were meltdowns, Caden didn't want to sleep in the hotel, was up most the night and most of us got little to no sleep, but it was worth it. Our hotel was really nice and had an amazing free breakfast as well in the morning. I am looking forward to more fun times as the kids continue to get older. The frogs overlooking the Family Hot tub1/2 of the family hot tub, too big to get the entire thing. The best thing was sitting there watching it snow like crazy outside!!

Trying to get a good shot of the Tiki Tree house and water slides.
First arriving at the park after getting changed, had a hard time getting this shot, or any shot of the 3 of them together, because they were having too much fun, trying to take it all in!
Another attempt.
