Every year I purchase season passes to Phillip's Aquatic Center, which is a waterpark with a huge pool, several waterslides, a kiddie area, and a humongous sand play area. It's the place my mom used to take my siblings and I when we were young. And it never gets old for my kids. We try to go several times a week, and we have so much fun!
Last summer was extra memorable for me. It was the very first time in my life as a mother that I could literally just sit at the water's edge and soak up sun while my kids played in the pool in front of me. I didn't have to stay 2 steps behind them, for fear that they would fall and drown. My kids were finally old enough to just go play!
Reese wears a life vest and is able to swim in deeper waters with Mark. They love to throw the football around and race each other to retrieve it. They are so cute! And Marina likes to play in the 3-inch water with her mermaids and ponies, while I sit there and bask in the warm sun. It's perfect! Many of Mark's friends from school and church also come to this waterpark. So he often finds a friend to accompany him on the waterslides. This is totally how I love to spend my summer with my kids!
