Park Fun

We decided to purchase season tickets to Alabama Adventure and I'm so glad we did. It's so close to the house and Madelyn loves it. Every morning when I get her out of bed she says "we go to the water park mommy?". During the week it's not crowded in the morning and it's mostly stay at home moms in the kiddie area.

Most mornings we go to the water park and stay until 1:30 or 2 and then we ride one or two rides and head home for nap time. We've also gone in the late afternoon to just do rides when it's not so hot. Madelyn loves doing both. She loves playing in the water, going around the lazy river, climbing up tubes and going down the slides. This child has no fear, she will go down the slide just like the big kids (9 or 10 year olds). She stands up for herself too. The first day she was climbing up the tube to go down the slide and some bigger kids were trying to push and go around her and making her nervous so I stepped in and told them that they needed to slow down, wait and not climb over the little ones. Well ever since then if a bigger kid tries to rush her she turns around and says " we need to get back and wait!", oh my goodness it's so funny to see the bigger kids faces when this little baby tells them to get back and wait. Then another day we were going down the big slides and I told Madelyn we had to wait and take turns and not break in line she said OK. I thought what a sweet girl she listens to what I tell her and takes turns. Well after me going with her a couple more times she just wanted me to stand at the bottom and catch her. So I watched her climb up the stairs and she was standing behind Cade (one of her cute little friends) then Sharon (Cade's mama) came up to help Cade get situated on the slide and what does my child do- puts her arm up and says "get back don't break in line" to Sharon! I don't know what I'm going to do with her, at least she tries to follow the rules and wants everyone else, even the mamas to follow the same rules!

Riding the train choo choo!

Airplanes with Bannie

She was so serious while driving the jeeps!

Her two favorite rides are the merry go round or as Madelyn calls it the horsey ride and the race car ride. The race call ride goes around in a circle and then at the corners it flings you around. Madelyn loves it and puts her hands up in the air when it goes around the corners- too funny!

Holding hands with Bannie- they are like a old married couple

Look Babe Look!

Madelyn loves to get an icee when we leave and loves that her best buddy(future husband) Bannie goes too! We have had so much fun going, we even got Spencer a pass so he can go on the weekends with us. Madelyn was so excited to take her daddy to the water park this past weekend. We had a great time going as a family together and it was nice to have another set of eyes/hands to help with our wild child!
