Splash Day

So yesterday we ventured down to New Braunfels & took Emma to Schlitterbahn. It was our Godson Aaron's B-day & we met his family there. Let me tell you the water was COLD on the river fed side of the park! Emma & Daddy wanted no part of playing in that water. Luckily there was a warm pool nearby that Emma showed off her improving swimming skills (with a lifejacket of course). We are working on teaching her not to panic when her head is under & how to "right" herself back up.

We then went to the newer park & attempted to put emma in the swirling wave pool, Daddy held her the entire time going around & she was NOT thrilled with that one. We played in toddler area and eventually ended up in the Lazy River which was more Emma's speed :)

The most amazing part of this day was that
1-Emma did not take her normal midday nap & was smiling until the end
2-She wanted to walk on her own & did not demand for one of us to carry her
3-As we were leaving Ryan asked her if she had fun & she said "Yeah, I had a splash day" (During the summer, Emma had "splash days" at daycare so she is remembering those. I think yesterday's splash day was much bigger)
