Waterslides

There is nothing my kids remember most from their California trips than the Water Park. All year long my kids talk about all the fun they had the last time they went. This past year they have told me all about the HUGE slide that only big kids can go down because of a size issue. It's the scariest and most daring of all water slides. Now you have to understand that my kids are not afraid of water slides. We have taken them to another indoor park (hey, this is Oregon, it would never get used if it was not indoors) and Maddie and Reece would both go down by themselves on this other very big slide. So these two are not pansies when it comes to water slides. They love a good water slide. But this particular water slide near Grandma's must be quite the slide because my kids have talked about this slide for a long time and how scary it is.


A few days ago I get this crazy phone call from Madison. She is talking non stop and I can not understand quite what she is talking about.
"I did it!"
" . . . really fast."
" . . . up really high."
These were a few things I was able to pick out of what she was going on about. She was so excited and talking so fast.
"That's awesome, Mada!" I say, not quite sure as to what I was so excited about, but obviously a huge accomplishment had occurred.



Well as it turns out, Madison had gone down this infamous water slide. I imagine her face was much like Reece's was in the picture above. How brave of my little girl to go down the slide that was so scary to her. I don't have any pictures of her going down, but none the less, what a great memory for her!
