Hawaiian Falls

Thanks to Summer for the pictures for this post! I only had my cell phone for pics. We went to Hawaiian Falls in Mansfield a few days ago. Ethan hadn't been to a waterpark since I was pregnant with Caleb. It usually isn't worth it because Ethan won't go down any of the slides. I decided to take him since it was the end of the summer and I wanted to do one last fun thing for him. I was suprised that he went down a big slide as soon as we got there! He tried another one and decided it was his favorite and wouldn't ride anything else but that one. I decided not to push him to ride anything else because I wanted a nice relaxing day with no whining! We didn't even go in the wave pool or the lazy river. Just sliding....
Ethan and Will. That slide in the background is the first one he went down. I was shocked! It's one that you lay down on the mat and ride down on your stomach. He grabbed a mat and walked up the stairs and went down. I was in the lane next to him. I asked him if he liked it and he said yes but that he didn't want to do it again. I would have never thought he would ride that one!
We had hotdogs and chips for lunch.

This was the slide he was obsessed with. I think he liked that it didn't drop him into a pool. He could just stand up when he got to the bottom. He probably went down this 30 or 40 times. As soon as he go to the bottom, he would get out and go climb back up the stairs. It was exhausting!

Look how proud he is of himself...and I was proud too!
