Arrgghh Matey

Yo Ho, Yo Ho, A pirates life for me! With the new year, I want to do a Family Fun Day once every month. For January, we went to Buckaneer Bay- a splash park attached to a local hotel. As you can see, there is a pirate theme. Water slides, tunnels, cannons that shoot water, treasure chests that dump water, and even alligators that shoot even more water. If you like water or pirates, this is your place. We happen to like both, so we had a grand time.
Colton was cold for the first half of our visit, but by the end he thought the water slide was fun.
Lydia went down the pirate ship slides tirelessly, but there was one slide that wrapped around the outside of the building that you had to be 48" tall for. Lydia was excited because she was 'almost tall enough' ha ha. I don't think she is going to grow quite as fast as she thinks. Mike and I enjoyed the big slide though. The best part was the big splash Mike made at the end. Very cool to a 4 and 2-year-old.
The hot tub wasn't left out. It was Colton's base camp for quite awhile.

It was a great family fun day. The water was shallow enough for the kids to touch throughout the pool, so we didn't worry about them too much, which was nice. Can't wait to do this again next year.

How fun!! I always want to take my girls swimming--they love it-- but it is kind of hard with 4 girls that all need helped to 2 parents.
