Six Flags White Water

What a find! As I mentioned earlier, we got season passes to Six Flags and Six Flags White Water. While Eli loves Thomas Town at Six Flags there aren't an abundance of other attractions suited to us. So, in that way, Six Flags was a slight disappointment. But, Six Flags White Water, the water park, was even more exciting and appropriate than we first thought. They have three separate kiddie areas that are great. They are developmentally appropriate to different age, ability and comfort levels. Yet, they are all theoretically within Eli's reach this summer. So far, he loves the first area and tried the second area, although a significant head bump in the second section brought us back to the first area. The first area is called Little Squirts Island. As the name suggests, it has all sorts of different things that squirt water. Eli doesn't like water in his face or most especially his eyes, and that's one of the reasons I'm excited about the water park. As Jumping Jelly Beans improved his confidence with climbing and jumping, I think this water park will make him more confident and adventuruous around water. His favorite attractions in Little Squirts Island are the walking river, the turtle that squirts water...




and the little, fast slides...



As she does at Six Flags, Keira spent most of her day in the sling alternating between sleeping and nursing. Have I mentioned how much I love the sling? Babies are so much happier and more portable in them.
