July: Water Country USA

Super fun times to be had at water parks in the middle of summer!








wave pool! always a favorite...









kiddie play area, they could have stayed here all day...









we even took them on a family watertube slide... it was totally fun, and though Carter shook the whole time, he wasn't scared, it was just adrenaline. Does that make him an adrenaline junkie?

fun with goggles!

Water Fight

It started out innocently enough... hot outside + water gun = water fight...
they even shared! (Carter makes shooting sounds now)
but then, Carter decided that sharing was for losers...
so Coryn 'took' his turn. (if you think this is sad you should see the whole sequence!)

of course, Mother prevailed and restored order to sharing along with throwing buckets of 'gun-filler' water on both of them!

Water Water Everywhere

Coryn used to be afraid of non-bath water, but mostly because it was usually cold. He doesn't seem to mind it now that a couple of hours in the sun warms his pool to bathwater temps. (the ocean's not bad either)

Here he's playing with the neighbor girl.
Awww... blackmail!

Dad certainly isn't afraid of the water.

He's dragon boat racing! Its an annual event which typically draws large crowds, but it was raining this year so it was still crowded, but without a few of the military people (not that the rain detered the racers).

The teams take turns on the three boats provided; other than that, I don't know too much about it, we left early (cranky Coryn hadn't had a nap yet). Its practically a fair though, carnival games, food stands, and two performance stages were some of the sights.
