As if there weren't already oceans of everything, we went to Oceans of Fun and cashed in Grandma and Grandpa's season ticket passes for the girls this weekend. It was a little difficult with the baby, but Misty and I wanted to bring him. One of us watched the boy while the other adult went on excursions in the park with the girls. Usually these involved racing of some sort down a slide.
Beyond any shadow of doubt the girls' favorite time was the canoes. The bucanner bay at Oceans of Fun lets a guest pick their canoe, one or two person, and they float out with paddle, life vest, and their wits. I laughed so hard when I saw the girls stranded on the other end of the "bay" on some rocks. They'd run aground and looked at me like I could help them out. They were able to figure their way out of that mess before I had a chance to get in the water.
Overall, we had a very good plan. Take a Friday off, since it's so much more busy on the weekends. Get a big breakfast in the morning, pack a picnic lunch with sandwiches, chips, and sodas. Take a late lunch/picnic and leave at park closing. Order pizza for delivery when you get home because you're too exhausted to do anything but eat. It's fatiguing to have fun.
