Our Camping Trip pt 2

Once Lisa returned we took the kids to enjoy the family activites in the park. We started out on a bounce mat.





Then hit the playground.









The kids, unfortunately, were again awful. Ugh, it was not a good morning to that point.

They all wanted to hit the water park, but first I wanted to play miniature golf. We were adament that for once the kids actually play by the rules, and you can imagine how that went.







But actually, for most of the nine holes we played the kids kept it together. There was even a shocker from Smiley. When LuLu lingered near the hole on his turn, he barked "[LuLu] 'et off my gween!"

We joined in a game of musical dots, where YaYa placed second



then grabbed something to eat before hitting the water park.







This picnic basket would fill up, sound a horn as a warning, then dump the water on the bathers below. It was great, hitting you like a good massage.





As usual Lisa spent time in the water with them while I stayed on the sidelines and concentrated on looking pretty, but then an oddity: I got up and spent most of the time in the water, taking the kids down the water slides and enjoying the basket waterfall.





For a few minutes Lisa took them out of the waterpark to have a swing at a pinata.







None of them cracked it open, but they all shared the booty.

Once they returned we played in the water for quite a while, and then, at YaYa's request, hit the water balloon fight arena.







Smiley had a busted water balloon on his head, and no matter what he wouldn't take it off.



The kids were great from the moment we hit the waterpark, btw. All in all it was a fine experience, and I definitely think it won't be 22 years before I go camping again.

Good job, dad.
