Wild Waves

It was hot, hot, hot yesterday (100+ F), so we went to Wild Waves to try and cool off. We went there with the Paul family (Dany, Jason, McKenna & Lindsey), along with Cindy and Wyatt, and it was really crowded; apparently everyone else had the same idea.

We got our spot staked out right next to Hook's Lagoon, where Jillian spent most of her time playing around. It had a shallow pool and several small slides for little kids ... and looking down on us all was a giant pirate head that dumped water on people below! When Jillian first saw the pirate head, she freaked out! She cried and tried to hide so it couldn't see her. Eventually, we managed to get her to relax a little and play in the pool, but the entire time, she always kept an eye out for the giant pirate head. A while later, she started calling the pirate head "Papa", probably because it had a moustache like Grandpa Peterson.

Jillian probably went up and down the little water slides about 100 times, between Mommy and Daddy and Dany helping her. After all of that, and the heat, she finally fell asleep for a (late) afternoon nap. After waking up, we wandered around the park a little more before it was time to go. Jillian will no doubt love to go back some day.
