Little piece of Daddy's childhood- Schlitterbahn!

On July 26, 2010, Pierson got to experience a place that her daddy holds dear to his heart, the wonderful land of water called Schlitterbahn. It wasn't just Pierson's first visit, but her mommy's as well. Yes, I know, how sad is it that I have never been to Schlitterbahn before until now! Ryan grew up going there with his school, friends, family, etc. and has always talked about how much fun he had going there and I have always talked about wanting to go, but just never made the trip. SO....this summer, we had the opportunity to go with some of our dear cousins, The Wells, and I was soooo excited! Of course, there wasn't a ton of things for a 16 month old to do, but she had a blast in the baby areas and even got to ride on the family tube slide. She wasn't a big fan of the that because she had to wear a life jacket and that was just too confining for her!

Letting the sunscreen soak in and having a little pre-play snack

Checking out the biggest slides she had ever seen!

She wanted to hold our hand anytime she walked through the water. Guess it was a little tough to trudge through with those little legs :)

As you can see, she did not want a picture, she wanted back down to play in the water!

Sadly, I didn't get any more pictures than that. I didn't want to bring my good camera for obvious reasons, but forgot to charge the battery in my old one so we ran out very early. Atleast we got a few!!!

We hit up a few of the newer areas and let the kids play and then went to old part later that afternoon and that was by far my favorite part. Michaella and Evin graciously watched Pierson while Ryan and I went with their kids to ride a few rides. The weather was a little touch and go at times with some rain and thunder which led to some temporary shut downs, but overall we had a wonderful time!!!! It was a great first Schlitterbahn experience for us both!
