Boys of Summer

To end the summer right, Dan insisted we take the boys to Seven Peaks.  I'm not a huge fan of taking small children to the water park, but Dan insisted.  I'm glad he did.

The little boys and I spent most of the evening at the kiddie area while Dan and Tyson hit the big slides.  I can manage the two little ones in the water as long as Preston is wearing a life jacket and understands exactly what his boundaries are.  I have to keep my eyes on Nolan 100% of the time.  I can only pull my eyes away from him for a split second to get a quick visual on Preston.  I have to be in Helicopter Mom mode when Nolan is in the water.   He has no fear.  

Preston wanted to try a few slides, so Dan did a couple with both boys while I consoled Nolan. He wants to do everything his brothers do and was heartbroken when I wouldn't let him go with his Daddy.  I was only able to distracted him by taking him in the Lazy River, which he loved.

We got a quick bite to eat and then spent the last hour in this kid play area.  Dan, Nolan and I watched as Tyson and Preston burned the last of their energy.

There were tears when the park closed and we had to go home.
