More from Lava

My kids were so excited to go swimming and when Parker saw all the slides at Lava, that is pretty much the only thing he wanted to do. He definitely got his money's worth.I think he went down the slide at least 10 times. He loved it. He also thought he was pretty good at swimming and tried to get me to let hi swim in the deeper water. Swim lessons was a good thing for him to feel more independent and I know that he could at least make it to the side after going off the slide or diving board.

Paige was a little fish and just kept swimming and swimming. She did get cold once in a while and would get her towel on to dry off and warm up for a little while before getting back in the pool. There were 2 kiddie slides in the pool and she loved to go down them, she would go down the slide into the water and she could touch the bottom, then she would get out and go down the slide again. Over and over and over again. I think she really had a fun time as well.

I wasn't sure how Paxten would like the water, but he couldn't get enough if it. I put him on the little kiddie slide to see how he would like it and then I was stuck there for about a 1/2 hour putting him on the kiddi slide. He loved falling off of the edge into the water. I could catch him just before he went under and he would have the biggest grin on his face. He loved evey minute of swimming.

Charyn is more of a dare devil than I am and She decided to go on the really fast slide that drops like 50 feet. She said it was fun and somehow talked me in to going on it. The stairs to get up to it were tiring, and made me relize how out of shape I am. As I was going on the slide, I had second thoughts, but by then it was too late and I could see the ligh and the opening where it dropped, I screamed the entire way down!! It was scary! But it was fun and I might do it again. I love spending time with my family!!
