We took our first trip of the season to Seven Peaks Water Park. I have really been dreading it for few reasons. Number one is that my big kids are not very good swimmers and number 2 is because last year was a nightmare with a 5, barely 4, and 1 1/2 year old. It was just a lot of kids to try and keep alive around tons of water :)
I was so surprised when we took the kids yesterday to find out that a lot has changed over the past year. Jack is an okay swimmer, not great, but better than I thought. Sunny is actually pretty decent and I don't worry about her too much. Lila and Griffin still can't swim, but they are both tall enough to do some more things and besides the no swimming part, they are really good in water.
And then there was Cameron. That boy has a death wish! He jumped right on in and said, "Look Mom, I wimming, I wimming." He is such a water baby, but he is fearless. He liked the baby pool okay, loved the three foot deep section where he could barely keep his head above water and kept swallowing it, and was over the moon when we went to the giant wave pool.
Yes, my 2 year old prefers the huge wave pool and he wanted to go out as far as everyone else. We are going to put all the kids in swimming lessons this fall and I think Cam will be swimming before G and L. He is a natural in the water.
So, it was much more fun than last year and I can't wait to go several more times this summer.
