Saturday was our last full day in Virginia and our last day at the waterpark. We got over there around 11am (it opened at 10 on Saturday) and had a lot of fun. It’s hard to believe the kids (and us too) can stay entertained there for 3 days!
We ate lunch at the “snack bar” which was disappointing (we’d intentionally avoided eating there on the previous days) since we got to the park just before lunch. It was nice to be able to stop swimming/playing, eat a quick bite, then get back in the water but it came at a price!
We left around 4 and the kids were passed out for their naps. When they got up, we had some leftovers and started packing things up. Bethany and I gave up and went to bed with far too many things still to be packed but we were just too tired!
Begrudgingly waiting for us to let them go play.
The best of our attempts to get them to simultaneously smile and look at the camera!
Josiah was sharing a ketchup-dipped french fry with me…
Noah was worried about some crumbs that fell on his feet…
And Lilly was laughing at me!
After lunch, I stayed out of the water and took some pictures with our regular camera. It was a little risky but I escaped with the camera dry!
Noah was standing watching the entrance to the lazy river…
This is Lilly coming down the green water slide that the kids went down repeatedly…
Even a cheer for herself! (She was actually waving at me)
Bethany came down too…
Lilly was holding Noah’s hand to help him find his way back up to the line for the slide again.
This was the top/entrance for the slide.
Josiah takes his sliding seriously…
Even Noah loved going down the slide. After the first few times, he had just as much fun as the other two!
He was always so excited and happy!
One last picture before we left the waterpark…
Lilly swimming under water
Noah going down the small orange slides by himself…
After the waterpark, we drove up the mountain to the scenic overlook near the peak. Noah had fallen asleep in the car but the rest of us got out for a little bit.
Josiah had asked about different things in the valley so we were talking about what all he could see…
He wanted me to pretend to toss him down the mountain… crazy kid!
Lilly had bought an apple with her own money at the store. She dropped it up on the mountain and it started rolling quickly down the parking lot towards the edge and she was sobbing. Though the apple went over the edge and down into some grass/bushes a few feet down, she was somehow consoled that it hadn’t fallen all the way down the mountain!
Tomorrow we’ll have our picture from the trip home (and our stop in Shenandoah National Park)!
