The summer is in full swing here in Reno, and we are doing our best to enjoy every second. The other day, Trei decided to get a season pass to the local waterpark. Now, I'm not going to sugar coat this. I totally made fun of this waterpark. Having grown up an hour away from Raging Waters.....looking at this puny little waterpark made me laugh. I told Trei to go ahead and get a pass, but not to worry about me. As he packed the kids up (they are free admission!), I told him to keep a good eye on the both of them. They are fast, and busy, and it can be a difficult task to keep them both within reach. About two hourse later, he was home, and said without much hesitation that he can't be going alone with both kids anymore (haha). So then came the question. "Melissa, can't you just get a pass. It's fun, and not crowded in the kiddie area, and you can just have some family fun!". I put a few moments of thought into it (not before making sure to mock it's size for the millionth time!) and said "What the heck, okay". It was official, the next day, we were going to be waterparking it as a family.
And you know what?! It was awesome! The kids enjoyed the water, and the other kids, and just being outside....and Trei and I got to cool off, take a break from life, and enjoy some family time. I'm going to have to get over my fear of being in a bathing suit in front of other people....because the truth is, a coverup is pretty lame when it's sopping wet and sticking to your body. But if Trei thinks I'll go running Baywatch style for one of our kids....he is sorely mistaken. I'm not THAT brave.
