Typhoon Lagoon

On Saturday, it was absolutely gorgeous out. After Hanna moved on, she took all the rain and humidity away and all that was left was a beautiful blue sky and temperatures in the 90s. Esteban and I were both off so we got ready and took the kids to Typhoon Lagoon. Mari met us out there with the kids. We had a wonderful time.

We took the kids on the lazy river and then we went to the wading area in front of the pool and Maya was besides herself with joy. We took the kids into the wave pool and they loved that too. Maya had her first experience with sand and you could tell she was so curious. She dug her finger into it and carefully inspected it. She was obviously impressed with how the sand stuck to her fingers and toes. She was adorable.

When Mari got there, we broke for lunch and afterwards, we went to Ketchakiddee Creek, the play area for little ones. This was the best. There was so much to do here. Maya was beyond happy and Jayden was a maniac. Even little Sebi was all smiles and splashing like crazy. There were no cranky babies to be found. Aiden and Jayden were going down the slides and splashing around the water pad. There was even a small raft ride. We put the kids on and I was so nervous. I was at the top, loading the kids and instructing the kids to hold on with both hands for dear life. Mari was in the middle making sure they didn’t fall off the inner tube and Esteban was at the bottom waiting to catch them and help them out. They adored this ride.

Even Esteban got in on the fun. There was a section set up with three water jets that you could control with a sprayer and when I turned and look, I see him attacking the heck out of some other dads. Those dads had pushed their kids out of the way and had taken over. I was cracking up. The best was when he “won” and walked away with that triumphant smile on his face. I was staring dead at him. He wasn’t even ashamed of himself. Not one bit. Me and Mari were laughing at him.

The hardest part was at the end of the day, trying to get 4 kids rinsed and dressed. That was a zoo! But we made it through and went back to my place for dinner. We barely got to take pictures, because I didn’t want the camera to get wet. But we did get a couple of shots from the photopass people who are strategically located throughout the park.
