Wave pool--or William's first trip to the pool


Saturday we decided to hit another county park and try out the wave pool. The kids were excited to go to a pool, since we have only been to one this summer...at a hotel. They have never been to a wave pool before. When we finally got there (we missed a turn), it appeared to be super crowded. We debated whether we should stay, or try to find another pool to go to. I decided that all the pools were likely going to be crowded, so we stayed. It cost $17, and we had a blast. We stayed for about 3 hours. I had only taken $20, so we didn't have enough money to rent a floatie, so it's a good thing that we ran into a family in the ward, and they lent us a couple of dollars so that we could get one. For the first little bit, we couldn't get Sadie or Samuel in the pool when the waves were on. Henry and I got Sadie on the floatie and just pushed her back and forth in the shallow end, when there were no waves going. Then, when the waves started, she just screamed "Whee!!" She did about 4-5 minutes of wave, and then she was done. She did this a couple of times. Then, Samuel would run back and forth to the waves in the shallow end. It was a great afternoon, and we all had a lot of fun.
