Hawaiian Falls

Today Audria and I took Brody to Hawaiian Falls waterpark. All summer we have had above average temperatures. I have no clue how many days have been above 100 degrees...but it seems like it's been over 100 degrees EVERY day. Today was the exception. A cool front came thru and it was 75 degrees when we arrived at the waterpark around 11:30! Not only was it cool, it was also overcast! Audria is cold natured anyways, so we were both dreading the cold that we knew was awaiting us.

It was a great waterpark for young kids. Brody was a little timid at first. There were quite a few kids there and the water was loud and some of it hit you pretty hard (especially the water that fell out of the HUGE bucket over the kiddy park area). After we realized that he was a little small to go down the twisty slides by himself (he was flipped around and came out on his belly facing up the slide) we started taking turns going down the slides with him. He really thought that was fun! He also liked the lazy river. His FAVORITE part of the waterpark, however, was the sidewalk with water shooting in arches out of holes in the ground. He ran thru the water, walked under the arching water, and spent lots of time plugging up the holes with his feet and hands. We finally pulled up some chairs and watched him play.

The sun came out after lunch making it more enjoyable for Audria and I to be in the water. We stayed until 3:30 (well past Brody's nap time) because he was having so much fun. He was asleep 5 minutes after we got in the car and slept until 6 pm! We'll definitely be going back next year.
