On Monday, August 8, we attended the annual company picnic at Sunsplash with Greg's work. Last year we missed it because we were out of town and Kyler was so disappointed. The year before (2009), he wasn't quite tall enough for many of the water slides so he didn't get to do much. But last year he would have been able to do them if we had gone. So any time we drove by the water park, he would ask when we were going to go. Once it was about a month away, he started the daily countdown of when we got to go because he was so excited. :)
When we got there Kyler and Greg took off right away to go on the water slides. He was SOOO happy! Apparently they went down almost everything he could do at his height. He wasn't scared of any of them. And, I think it helped that we had just been doing swimming lessons and he was finally “water safe”. He's not the best swimmer, but I know he can get to the side of the pool safely now and since he had that confidence that really helped.
Caden wouldn't go in the water with me at all. But as soon as Greg and Kyler came back, he wanted to go play in the water with them. So he floated along the lazy river, played in the wave pool, had fun in the kiddie water play area, and even went down a few small slides with Greg. He had a blast!
After dinner, we played a round of mini golf with the kids. I wouldn't say it was ideal timing (it was HOT, late, and Caden hadn't gotten a nap), but they still had fun. Kyler had some really good shots, including a hole in one! Caden spent most of his time playing with a spare golf ball and didn't really play golf but he still seemed to enjoy himself. I would say it was a very successful family outing and a fun time was had by all!
