At the beginning of summer Tony bought season passes to Seven Peaks water park on a Groupon-like site. They were only 10 dollars each and we thought it would be a fun thing to be able to do. We haven't gone much but after going for a run in the heat yesterday, I suggested we go after Tony got home from work. It was the first time we've gone since Audrey started walking and we were excited to see how different her experience would be this time around.
There are two kids' pools at Seven Peaks. One is really shallow and has a fun jungle gym that sprays water, and the other is about 3ft deep and has mini water slides. We started in the shallow water so Audrey could walk around and she took NO time getting down to the fun. She nearly ran towards the jungle gym and climbed all over it, not caring a bit about the older kids that were being crazy around her. She kept trying to stick her face in the water and fell down a couple times and went under. (We were always RIGHT by her side. The total amount of time she was under was probably less than a second.) I was sure that after the first fall that we would be done. Audrey would be scared and we'd have to hold her. Boy, was I wrong. She loved going under the water and kept dunking her head in!
Tony decided to take her on the slides in the deeper little kid pool and she LOVED them. Sometimes I don't know who this girl is! I was terrified of all things pool/water well into middle school and still have anxiety over having to dive off of the diving board in high school. Tony said he was pretty chicken, too, and didn't like going down water slides. Audrey kept asking to go over and over and just loved being in the water. It was really fun to see her enjoy herself so much.
AND ... it made her sleep really well last night. :)
