Springdale Aquatic Center






The older the kids get the more I am learning about what fun things there are to do in our area.  The Springdale Aquatic Center was a huge favorite for us last summer and I was really excited to get the chance to take Cole and Lily Kate this year.  It is a place that I don't feel comfortable taking them by myself so we had to wait until we had a free afternoon when Rhonald could go.  It was his first time there too and I think he was pretty impressed.  It is a huge water park with 3 pools - a big normal pool, a toddler area with sprinklers and a pool for all ages with slides and different fun things.  Cole had us moving from pool to pool the whole time we were there and it was so much fun.  When we would get tired in one area we would move on.  The hardest part was that Lily wanted to be on her own and there are only 2 areas with water shallow enough for her to sit without being held.  So, we just kept swapping her between the two of us and finally she was content to be anywhere while she played with my sunglasses and wet hair (that seemed to be a really strange thing for her - she kept touching it and staring at me).  We ended the afternoon with yummy sno cones on our way home...it was heavenly.  Even sweet Lily loved tasting my sno cone.  It could not have been a more fun family afternoon!
