After her much needed siesta, sister was ready to go...
We wandered over to the kiddie section and she had a ball. The water was about knee deep on her and she waded around and played.

There were some smaller water slides over here as well, and Davis enjoyed them a lot!!

The main part to this section was the climbing area. It had water that squirted out at different places, and cannons to shoot and wheels to turn, and LOTS to do..

So, as soon as we were all greased up, it was time to s-l-i-d-e..

Lots to see at a water park....I think Rubye Ann developed the fine art of "people watching"....

All that watching will wear a girl out...so she slept.
Which was a good thing...

Our last day was spent here..

It was a fun time!! First thing first....family portrait of course.
Suh-weet!

Next.........
SUNSCREEN


Jamie was well covered..as you can see!!

On our third day it rained so we thought it would be a good day to go tour a cave.
We went to the Talking Rocks Cave.
These pictures aren't very good. It's hard to take a picture in a cave and have it turn out..

Here's a shot of Davis navigating his way through one of the tight corners...

Going through the cave was neat. It was a bit creepy at times, like when they turned off the lights to show you just how dark it was. It was never, however, quiet. Rubye Ann made sure of that... Here's a small piece of advice.....It's not a good idea to take an exhausted 18 month old into a cave at her nap time...hmmm, who knew? ;)

Well, after the log ride, the boys wanted to ride the waterboggan again. I was MORE THAN happy to hear the boys say that they wanted daddy to go this time!!
This is the ride that I THOUGHT was the log ride the first day. Remember how wet the boys and I were in the pictures after getting off? Well, here's why:
This is literally a water slide. It belongs in a water park.

Huge water splashes from the front and sides the whole way down. It even comes up over the back at times too. You get positively soaked down to your underwear!!

Here they are fresh off the raft..


and wringing out clothes again. This also happened to be a rather cool day, so they were even colder than the day before!!
They were all doing that Frankenstein walk you do when you don't want your freezing wet clothes to touch you!!! I got a rather large kick out of hearing Jamie mention more than once how miserable he was. I just shook my head and said " I know. Believe me, I know.." then I would giggle.

So, we ran into this, umm, interesting individual as we were leaving the first day. I had to get a pic with this person...

We all enjoyed this pirate ship ride quite a bit too. The boys were really enjoying it, the little girl behind us however, was not. I think she was a bit too small for it and her mama had to repeat over and over "It's almost over, it's almost over.." I just kept thinking to myself.."please don't throw up, please don't throw up...."

The boys got to meet Bob and Larry from the Veggie Tales too. This was as close as Rubye Ann would get. She had a very established boundary for these two characters and she wasn't going to budge..

The boys hit the log ride for the second day. This time Davis got to be in front. I'm not sure who has the funnier expression. Jamie, or Davis. Jamie says he was bracing himself for how cold the water was going to be. I was done with the water rides. I really didn't feel up to walking around all day again soaking wet, so Jamie got to humor the boys on these rides....lol

We did eventually find the log ride. I was plenty wet enough and did not feel like adding to the wetness, so I told Jamie to go on with the boys. I was perfectly happy to stay with Rubye Ann. Especially since this was what she was doing.....

I can't even begin to tell you how long I stood at the bottom of the ride with my BIG lens on the camera waiting for them to top the hill so I could catch this shot....

and this one....
