Seven Peaks Pain Park

Note:
If you are planning on something all day, and you're right about to do it but a complication arises that would not make it fun, don't do it.

For example, swimming! We got season passes this year to Seven Peaks Water Park and today was the day it opened. Everything was ready: baby in her suit, mommy in her suit, and Chad was racing us there on foot for his exercise of the day. We get our photo ID passes. We found a place to sit. Chad had changed into his bathing suit and Elizabeth had all her sunscreen on. Then, it got really windy.

We had a pretty fun time in the water, but I think it might have been outweighed by how miserable it was getting out of the water. While we were swimming, the wind just got worse. Our towels were still with our stroller and blanket, but we had brought a little robe to the side of the pool for Elizabeth. Oh my goodness! She was soooo sad! The poor girl had missed her morning nap and it was about time to eat, but instead of being warmly cradled in mommy's arms filling her tummy with warm goodness, she was thrust dripping wet into the chilling abyss of a wind storm with nothing more than a robe. It was so sad!


But she's our little soldier! She puts up with so much from us! She's doing great now and she loved the water in the shower after her nap. I don't think this will have lasting repercussions, but it was still so sad. So I've learned my lesson. The baby is more important than all the planning, excitement, anticipation, and sunscreen that has already been applied.
