Part III

Thanks to Interval Time Share and Abuela and Grumps we scored some tickets to go to Dollywood Water Park.  (We did have to sit through a time share presentation but it was well worth it.)  Did I mention that it had been 100 degrees pretty much every day?  It was the hottest summer on record there since the 1930's or something crazy like that.  So the tickets came in handy.  Dollywood has a deal that if you get there after 3pm one day you can go the whole next day on the same tickets.  So that's exactly what we did.  I think McKenna had the best time out of everyone.  That girl loves the water.

The girls loved this slide - not to high but just enough drop.  The pool was the shape of a butterfly - which only girls would love, of course.

This picture doesn't do this slide justice.  The middle tan slide is super high.  Tim, Livie and Maya went down it.  I thought for sure they would come down crying but they all loved it.  (This was the alternative that I let Tim slide down - he wanted to do the drop out one but I'm too chicken.  Poor guy has to suffer because of my anxiety.)  Alexa, Mckenna and I waited safely on the ground until they got done.

I don't think this girl stopped smiling.  Oh!  Wait, except when it was time to go.

We loved this slide - 4 people could go in the tube at the same time.

I think this was my favorite place.  It was like a regular jungle gym but water hoses and guns everywhere.  You could squirt people or turn up the water to spray farther, etc.  There were water slides all different sizes and again McKenna was right there with the big girls.  Notice the giant bucket on the very top.  It would fill up and dump over the entire area every little while.

Here's the bucket dumpimg on the girls and Tim.

Cute girls.
