Tuesday morning we woke up bright and early to go to Geyser Falls waterpark in Philidelphia, MS. Gibson went to Mamaw and Papaw's house to be spoiled, he is still too little to spend a day outside in the heat... Bobby, Graden, Zach and I loaded into the van, and begun the 2 1/2 hour drive to the park...
Graden and Zach played Metroid the entire trip up there. They have played that game together all summer with Bobby, so much so that Bobby now refers to the three of them as "The Metroid Monkeys". It is like listening to another language, and there is no telling how many times I have heard "Yes! I killed the Motherbrain!". ;)
We got to the park and paid our eighty dollars to get in, and the children chose the "Lazy River" to go into first. Graden didn't want to ride on an inner tube, so he wrapped his arms around my neck and rode me through the entire river! He would make me walk through the waterfall with him on my back, squealing with delight. My legs however were squealing from being overworked! The kids wanted to play the majority of their time on the "Creaky Water Factory". A huge, multi-leveled park that water pours everywhere, the entire time. There is literally no way to avoid getting wet on this attraction. The kids love climbing the rope nets to get up to the waterslides, over and over and over... Of course I had to do it each time along with them, to make sure they were ok! It was definitely a work out for myself. Bobby positioned himself by a water gun and hoses, and would spray the people across from him if they attacked little children with thier water weapons. Bobby loves, loves, loves to do that! He said there was a girl there who was pouring water on little toddlers, so while she would do that, Bobby would soak her with his hose. She became so angry at Bobby she shook her fist at him and reported him to the lifeguard. The lifeguard told her she was doing the exact same thing to little children, and laughed that she would complain... Zach really loved the wave pool, so we went over there for a few minutes. Both children enjoyed playing on the beach located by the restraunt we ate lunch at. Zach had an order of nachos that was the size of a small mountain! He ate quite a bit of it, too! Bobby ordered a BLT wrap that was mostly eaten by Graden. It does not matter what Graden orders, your order is always going to look better to him when the food is served! :)
At the end of the day (for us!) we told the boys it was time to go home. Graden was so upset, he started crying and saying he didn't want to leave. I told him we would stop and get a candy bar, and he starts running excitedly, yelling "My daddy is getting me a candy bar!". Graden played Metroid the entire drive home (after eating his M&M's, Mt. Dew, and a bit of Zach's Tootsie Roll, too!) while Zach took a long nap. It was a great day at the waterpark, we all enjoyed ourselves very much!
