Water Park Fun

One of our more fun adventures this summer was the discovery of 2 water parks. There is a new one in Rogers that just opened this year and is amazing!  It was perfect for our family -- small enough that Madeleine can run around by herself and I feel safe about it, but big enough that we can stay 4 hours and no one is ready to leave. We went several times, sometimes alone, sometime with friends and it was always so fun. We discovered that if we go after 4pm, not only is it much cheaper, it's also not crowded at all! 

 We also ventured out to the water park that's just minutes from our home in Prairie Grove. It's smaller than Rogers, but it's so close. It had some great slides and they had life jackets for the kids to wear on the diving board and on the deep water slides.

Charlotte is fearless! She can't swim, but can hold her breath under water. Once she discovered that she can wear a life jacket and jump off the diving board/do the deep slides she was off! Matt & I took turns in the water with her just in case, but she did those 2 things in that deep water over and over! It made me laugh to see Charlotte, all 37 inches of her, in line with big ol' teens. :)

 Harrison did it too with a life jacket and was pretty proud of himself!

 The deep water slides were so fun! Matt and I did those lots too so we'd be close to the kids.

I'm pretty sure that water parks will be high on our list for next summer!
