this year we decided to take the boys to schlitterbahn in new braunfels,
just a few hours from Houston. schlitterbahn is a HUGE family friendly water-park.
we figured the boys were old enough to have a great time.
oh my gosh, i think i underestimated how much fun we were going to have.
as you can tell from the pictures, they were in heaven for the two days we were there.
here's poor chase coming down a fast tube slide!
and getting sucked under the water! he was such a good sport.
chase was so brave! being so little, he really got thrown around in his tube,
but he loved every minute and begged for more! i'm surprised he never fell out.
the first day we went to the side that is fed from the comal river. brrr!
the water was freezing and most of the waterpark is in the shade.
great for not getting sunburned, but bad for those of us who get cold easily
(poor chase's teeth were chattering as he cried getting off the rides.)
on day two, jason and grant ran to try the rides with a height limit. they
had a blast while chase and i did the smaller kid pools.
we all ended up loving this river that went around the whole park and had multiple falls.
we couldn't pry the boys off this one, and we went round and round a lot this day.
the water was much warmer (but chlorinated) and it was in the sun, so chase just LOVED it.
you can see grant and chase coming down the falls!
you go up this conveyor belt to start the ride all over again
me and grant on a fast enclosed tube ride. jason and chase rode the other side with us,
and i'm sad i didn't get a picture of them. jason got a cool video of chase screaming on the way down!
you can tell it's the end of day two....everyone's pretty much worn out.
brothers! and good friends too. one time chase got sort of sucked under
the water, and i wasn't right there, and grant quickly jumped over and yanked him up.
i was so proud of him! he's always been good at looking out for chase.
i'm not sure how this is fun, because it seems to me the water would shoot RIGHT
up your nose. however the boys did it multiple times, so it must have been fun!
i can't believe how much fun we had. we can't wait to go again!
