SPLISH SPLASH

Water park day with the Florida grand kids !  It was a wonderful day for the water park. Warm with a beautiful breeze.  Some clouds to keep the heat down. Just perfect for taking the twins and Smith for some fun time out doors.

There is a HUGE fantastic park with the nickname of TY somewhere south of Ft. Lauderdale. ( The actual name of the park is an Indian name that no one can pronounce.) The park covers acres and acres of lovely wooded picnic areas complete with shelters, BBQ's, picnic tables. play grounds, lakes, and all sorts of "ball" fields. But the best part of the park is the most awesome water park. There's a huge toddler play area where the twins discovered that crawling into deep (8 inches) water can get you a face and belly full of water. After a few attempts to crawl to the center of the kiddie pool Grey finally figured it out but Wynn just kept going time after time.
While the twins were exploring the big yellow duck, green alligator and blue spouting fish all made of some sort of foam that managed not to heat up in the Florida sun big brother Smith hit the slide and fountains until dad Kent took him over to the mid size kid area. In this area there are several different slides and lots of fountains and splash areas where you just can't stay dry even if you tried. The twins joined Smith and daddy, (with mommy and grandma's help) and they too got to slide down the slides screeching with delight every time. There is a third area with an olympic size pool with water falls and caves. We'll have to work our way up to that area.

We were only there about 3 hours but that was plenty long enough. We all had a great time ! I am so happy to be included in these awesome little adventures.  Grey and Wynn started to run out of steam around 2 PM so Grey and I went back to our chairs in the shade and sat all snuggled together where she relaxed and had a bottle.  As soon as we all got to the car the twins were asleep before we were out of the park.  As for Smith . . .  he talked all the way home and then crashed once he got on his comfy couch. He sure is my grandson because as soon as I got home I sat in my chair and took a little snooze too !
