Water Park Trip

Dwayne and I took the kids to the water park that's about ten minutes from here yesterday. And we had a blast! It's such a great place, and best of all it's free! Yep unheard of right? It's pretty cool. Like the Launceston Aquatic centre that I used to take Cameron to, only it's outside and way better.
It has the kids water playground as well as a play pool and a couple of three story high slides. And a huge playground for the kids to play on when not in the water. If I'd known how good it was I would have taken them a lot sooner.
Cameron and the girls were pretty excited to be going swimming but I wasn't sure how Emma and Chelsea would actually go as they'd never been in a big pool before.
We put their floaties on and took them in....... and then we couldn't get them out. Chelsea was a bit more cautious than Emma and she wouldn't let Dwayne out of reaching distance, but Emma took to the water better than I'd ever thought she would. She made her way out to the deeper part without a second thought and was most excited that she was "swimming".
Cameron loved it also. He was excited about the giant slides and wanted to have a turn but when we got the entrance the lady measured him and he was too short.
He was absolutely devasted and I was heartbroken for him but I told him I'd go with him down the smaller slides on the playground and he perked up a little. Hopefully this time next year he'll be tall enough.
So all in all we had a ball and I'm thinking of making it a weekly trip. I still can't believe that the place is free but I'm not complaining!
Not much was done today. We did the grocery shopping and spent the rest of the day at home. However I did check my powerball ticket while we were out and won $55. I thought that was pretty good considering the most I've ever won is $13! But maybe it was because Dwayne bought the ticket. Maybe he's luckier than me! It's not the millions we were hoping for but it's still nice winning money!
All in all not a bad weekend. It's Monday tomorrow and back to work..... Hopefully the week goes by fast so we can do it again :)
