The WaterPark

Jakes and I went to a water park last week. Yes, in December! It was an indoor was park and it was so much FUN!

I learned about the event through the autism center. The water park was having a special needs night where kids and adults with special needs could come and enjoy the park. They reduced the price of the tickets and had special accommodations for us.

Jakes LOVES the water, always has. He doesn't like the slides as much but I was able to talk him onto one. It was great! For me at least. He was scared. The tubes went outside and were dark so you couldn't see what was coming at you and he didn't like that. The marks on my leg can testify to that as well. I didn't try to talk him into going on the other one.  I learned my lesson!

We played in the playground with Jakes having a blast shooting water at people.  We floated around the lazy river, with Jakes giggling madly while he pushed me under the water falls.  He played basketball with the other kids and then we went back to the lazy river for a few more trips around.  This time I got to push him under the water falls!  "giggle"

All in all it was a great night, my biggest disappointment was that the water camera I used didn't work and I didn't know it until I went to WalGreens to pick up the film.  I am SO bummed!

But they are having another night in February, so made we'll go back.  And I'll have a new water camera!
