1) Not many people take an extra day off after the 4th...and if they do have the day off they are probably the type of person who went to a lake and are using the extra time to travel home.
2) Being a teacher I know that you NEVER schedule an important outing or field trip after a holiday. Parents forget to send money, lunches, supplies...ect. So I figured that would apply to daycares and not many groups of kids would be there.
I was right! The water park had hardly anyone there and we never had to wait for rides. The kid rides were not busy at all and Ava and Isaiah could just stay on and ride over and over again. Some of the larger rides we got in line and waited maybe 2 minutes tops. It was awesome. We got there around 12:00 and spent about 2 hours at Adventure Bay...the water park. After that we headed over to the rides until closing (8:00). The weather was perfect...an overcast day with a few random sprinkles here and there...just enough to cool us off.
This picture was actually from a new days ago. Isaiah took this of us! I figure we don't ever really post pictures of us...so here you have it.
The kids thought it was funny to set the timer on the camera and take a little family picture in their pajamas.
Ava laying out at Adventure Bay.
Isaiah soakin' in a little sun too. I didn't really take any pictures here because we were both with the kids and I didn't want the camera to get wet. We rented a tube and went in the Lazy River, went swimming in the pool, played in the "splash area," and the kids went down the little water slides.
This is a picture of the kids play zone area. The slides they went on were much smaller than the blue ones you see. It's nice because there's something here for every age. See the people...that was pretty much the "crowd."
Riding in the covered wagon ferris wheel...Isaiah was next to me.
Riding the dragons
They did such a nice job taking turns with the controls to raise the dragon up and down.
Sorry for the tilted picture...Isaiah enjoying his giant pickle
Ava on what we call "The Queen of Hearts." It was really called Lady Luck.
Two cuties on a red ladybug
Here's Isaiah riding the bench on the carousel.
A major break through! He likes riding the horses now...Andy had him try and he loved it! I'm taking pictures and sat out for almost an hour. I never used to get motion sickness...but after riding the hot air balloons I felt sick to my stomach!
A little flyin'
Mommy and Ava on the bumper cars
Daddy and Isaiah...our little driver...he's been asking about going on this and was very excited!
Time to drive some semi trucks
They rode this over and over and over and over again!
Check out these "bikers"
Snackin' on some popcorn
Relaxing with a lemonade slush
Cooling off with the water fan
Ava and Daddy on the logride. We all went together once...but Isaiah didn't want to go again. Ava and Andy went over and over again...at one point they just let them stay in the boat and keep going.
A little sailor
Someone loves to ride with his sister
Time for the teacups
Riding the gliders across the sky

Ava on the Frog Hopper...Isaiah wasn't interested in this ride...
...until now. He loved it!
Another ride on the semi!

We ran into the Krogh's...this is their son Jace.
One last ride
What a fun day!
The kids didn't nap while we were there...but did great. We had an awesome time and will be going back again.
My Three Happy's:
1) Off to school again with the kids for a little bit...hopefully my little helpers will help me accomplish something...otherwise they love coming up just for fun!
2) It's 9:30 and the kids are in bed...it's a miracle!
3) Being home with my family...that's what summer's all about!
