Big splash water park

Yesterday we headed over to French Lick to their water park just to have a fun day trip while on spring break. My dad drove down to meet us since it's only about an hour from home so that worked out well. We had a great time! Braden absolutely LOVED everything about the park. He loved the water gushing on his head from buckets and squirters, he loved going down the slides and loved going around the lazy river but not particularly on a tube-just swimming. :) He was a fish all day!! Ethan on the other hand...poor baby. He was not having it. When we first walked him out to the little spouts squirting up, he was already starting to whine like he didn't like it which surprised me because he's a flopping fish in the tub. So Chris thought he'd take him around on the lazy river to "get him used to the water." Well that plan kind of backfired because as Chris was trying to jump backwards into the tube, he and Ethan both flipped right over and went completely under water and then some! :( Ethan was terrified of course and I'm pretty sure at that point he was done. So he ended up just eating snacks and drinking juice and people watching most of the day. He did finally get in the baby swing by the end of the day and enjoyed that. Hopefully it was just this particular day because boating season is right around the corner and he's going to be seeing a lot of water this summer. :)

Ethan taking a break for some snacks.


Braden loving the slides

Papa Scott coming down right into Braden. :)

Ethan and Papa Scott played these kind of games off and on all day. :) My dad always lets the grandkids beat him up.

Finally, he gets in the babyswing with his paci and all!

And we saw a lot of this...poor fella. It was naptime pretty much the whole time we were there so that didn't help either.

Love this picture. Braden would wait under buckets until they dumped. He loved it!

So after the water park, we ate a yummy pizza buffet at Chicago's Pizza (my favorite from growing up!) and then did a little sight seeing in French Lick. Chris wanted to show me the house Larry Bird lived at when he was in the NBA-not sure how long he lived here but it's for sale if anyone's interested :) It had a sign that said "The Legend of Fench Lick."

It had a fullcourt for basketball of course

Check out the specs...not the most extravangant looking house but it had a lot of perks and only cost $1,950,000!! :)
