Bucket List----A Lazy River

When we returned from Disney last week the kids and I checked out our summer bucket list.  We knew we had two weeks to do some of the things on our list before we left again.  We talked about several things and today we went to a lazy river.  We actually went to the Rob Fleming Aquatic Center in The Woodlands.  It has a lazy river and so much more....
Their faces when we walked in were priceless.  The big blue bucket in the one picture dumps huge amounts of water every couple of minutes.  Samuel loved that.  Elena hated that.  That contraption also has a mini slide and other climbing areas.  Elena wanted so badly to go down this little slide.  Every time it was her turn she would get scared and go back down the ladder.  Maybe next time...



The other two pictures are of the large water slide.  Only Emma and Jonah were tall enough to ride the water slide.  You ride down it in a single tube or with a partner in a double tube.  Emma and Jonah went down together and separately many times.  I went with Emma and Jonah each once.  It was kind of scary and tons of fun!  There was a lifeguard standing in the entry pool to whisk your tube to the side exit.







The lazy river was also a huge hit.  We floated around it so many times....so many times!  It was also very peaceful.  It was slightly separate from the swimming and play area so it was quiet.  It was great fun for all of us.  We used the double tubes, the single tubes, swam/floated, and walked.  Elena realized that she could be in the lazy river without her floaty vest and she loved that!







This was definitely one of the most fun activities of our summer so far.  I know they want to go back, but it will be a special treat kind of place.  Fun like this does not come cheap, but their happy faces were worth every penny!








One thing accomplished on our list and many more to go....
