HOT Day? Perfect Day for Raging Waters...

A friend of ours (Thanks Polly!) was able to get us discount tickets at the last minute to go to Raging Waters. It was so hot yesterday that it sounded like the perfect thing to do! It was so much fun to see & spend time with the Butterfields!



Lauren & Holly have been to Raging Waters several times, but Nate has only been once. The last time he was there it was JetBlue day and it was sooo crowded that he really didn't get to do much but lay in the lazy river and the wave pool. This time was different. We were there right when they opened so the kids got to ride several of the rides before it got busy. Charley and I mostly spectated.

But, this picture is of Charley and I racing down Rampage. Charley thinks he won this one, but I'll let you be the judge. Yes, that is me (way ahead of him) on the left hand side of the picture, and him just coming off the slide. (HA ha).

The kids had a great time! It's hard sometimes to get them all together in one place, but when we do, they have such a great time together... You can even see some of the sibling rivalry starting to surface lol... (aka Holly loves to pick on Nate, but Nate loves the attention from an older sister). Just ask Nate how many times she pushed him in the pool or down the slide... (Don't worry, Charley got her back!).
And one group shot of the kids when we finally got them all in one place! It was such a great way to end the summer. Dan & Jake start school tomorrow, and Lauren starts high school on Wednesday.... wowza, good luck Lauren!! (Holly and Nate are on year round and went back at the end of July).
