Splish Splash

So, somehow on the day we go to Splish Spash, it happens to be cloudy, 70 degrees and a tad rainy.

Thankfully these kids didn't seem to mind too much.

I've said it before, but I have to say it again... God really has blessed us with some pretty amazing youth group kids.  Most sane people might cringe at the thought of taking 40 Jr. and Sr. High students to a water park for the day.  However, with kids like these, it's pretty awesome.

My two favorite guys in the world.

And this is what trust looks like.  You trust that people will only take their own things back, and not yours.

This kid dominated the Lazy River.  Can't believe how big my boy is getting...

Connected.

And really, what is a day at the park if you don't stop to try on silly hats?  And what is a day at the park if you don't stop to think what in the world would posses a person to buy a crab or a hamburger hat?

 My personal favorite part of the day?  The dippin' dots of course.  I'm not sure how it's still the ice-cream of the future, considering I bought this delicious treat when on family vacation in the early 90s...  I suppose "Ice Cream of the Past" isn't as compelling of a name.

At Splish Splash, everyone knows it's no use crying over spilt dipping dots...

He loved this ride.  Carried his own tube up and everything.  And I got a bit teary eyed, wondering what happened to the days of Mom hanging with him in the Kiddie Pools. 

Backwards is best.

I love good signage... but sometimes it makes me wonder.  Did someone actually try diving into 2 feet and 6 inches of water, and realize it was a bad enough idea that these signs should be posted?  

Finally, if you're ever at Splish Splash, do not buy these.  A few of our kids had to leave the park with the taste of centipede and canned dog food in their mouths.

 Besides that, another amazing day.

Just a reminder that I'm giving away a pretty amazing notebook here...  You should definitely check it out.
