"That's some high quality H2O...."

I'm at the tail end of a fairly time consuming project at work. Since I've been putting in extra time and because Sizzler is a corporate sponsor of the water park, my boss gave me four tickets to Roaring Springs. So we decided to spend our 106 degree day today gettin' wet!


The first order of business was to prove they had the guts to ride "The Avalanche".



Jamon convinced me to ride with him a second time. I'm a screamer. I scared off an investigator trying to decide whether she should ride or not.

The wave pool is a classic favorite and I couldn't help but laugh as the boys bobbed up and down, purposely crashing into total strangers. They spent a large part of the day in the lazy river. Carter has become quite an accomplished swimmer, and he thought it was awesome to be able to do the butterfly stroke at "lightening speed".

We took a little break for a treat...(yes, Jamon's bald. Thanks to his father starting the haircut before I could get there! :)

The weirdest part of the day? Who gets married at a water park?
We stopped off for burgers on the way home and got back just in time for Camdon to get ready for scouts. Guess where they were going tonight? Yep, swimming!

Your wedding pic at the water park reminds me of the friends we have who came from Wisconsin to get married on top of Choke Cherry (Sandhills). Crazy places people want to get married.

Yeah, well, I got married in a relief society room. Which is more lame? Water park.....relief society room.....oh, tough call. I think I'd rather tell people the water park. It's totally a better story. Looks like fun though, any sunburns? Oh, and I'm a screamer(on rides) too, we should go to Lagoon together or sumthin!

how fun! but seriously 106?? was it really that hot? WOW. i'm glad the boys had fun, it's gotta be nice being able to take them all somewhere and they are all old enough to enjoy all the rides.

We're suppossed to go next weekend. Justin is talking about heading over early, just in case. We'd feel so bad if grandma went before we got there. Are you home? Utah? Rexburg?

umm you work at Sizzler? We need a water park down here. One with a big scary slide, or lots of them. Yeah, that'd be awesome.
