winter waterpark

It's sort of become an annual event to have a winter water park visit with local friends.  It has served as a good break from the cold, winter weather... which wasn't really too much of an issue this {mildly warm} winter.  We've been to King's Pointe in Storm Lake a couple of times, but this year we headed to Grand Harbor in Dubuque.  The location really doesn't matter to the kids, they have fun no matter what. 

Hannah doesn't look overly excited here... she was so content riding in her float and people watching. 

Ahh, the slides. 

At first, Lucas didn't want to go on the slides... then I talked him into going with me and he was in love... then Emma, Jenna and Ellie took him and his love multiplied.  They are always so good to Lucas. 

He was surrounded by girls; the only other little boy in our company was Garrett. 

I loved these shots coming down the slide. 

Pure fun.   

The water fountain thingys never cease to amaze.  Hannah couldn't get enough - let her touch one, she'd reach for another, then reach for another, or go back for the last one.  Then want to touch another.  Fun!

Love the splashes. 

Lucas and Garrett tossed the rings, played catch with the football and and trucks for a long time.  Good buddies.

 

Hannah enjoyed discovering the water all on her own, too.  She wibbled and wobbled all over the shallow end. 

We took a break from the water park and mom, Lucas, Sara, Ellie, Trista, Tara, Rylee, Loree, Emma, Ava, Caylie and Jenna went to the movie The Lorax.  

Hannah and dad hung out; she is not ready for a movie theatre!

A great movie! 

Lucas was intrigued the whole time and there is a great message.  Gotta love Dr. Seuss!
