Happy New Year!

We went to visit Grammy to say "Happy New Year" and let Gigi open Grammy's Christmas gift (A World of Adventure game by Haba) which promises many hours of fun. We visited the ducks briefly.

A place called "the Beach Waterpark" hardly seems like the place for a holiday event, but since we had free tickets, we gave it a try. It was a pleasant surprise. We met Aunt Kristen, Lily and Alex there. The first thing we saw was a water slide converted to the "Cool Runnings" toboggan ride. Right away, we convinced the girls to do it before they could change their minds. Kristen and Alex watched. WOW - what a thrill-ride! Kristen reported that Genevieve looked terrified. By the time we hit the straw-stopper, she was laughing. Lily did great too, but neither girl wanted to do it again.

We also rode a carrousel, hung out at the North Pole petting corral, and rode the Penguin Arctic paddle boat along the lazy river (which Alex declared as his favorite). Genevieve complained the entire ride that her seat was not sparkly. Ugh.
