Schlitterbahn!


When my sister decided to move to Texas, she told me she was moving to a little town with a German name. Coincidentally, I'd already been to the town when Gavin and I visited Schiltterbahn in 2007!

While I wasn't sure about the particulars of visiting a water park with an infant, we all really wanted to visit the famous park, so we went for it.

I was fairly certain we'd last a few hours and Colin, Grandma, and I would find ourselves relaxing at my sister's place.  But Colin's love of adventure stayed strong and the little guy made it from opening to closing, a solid 10 hours of outside fun!

Mommy's Happy Summertime Baby


A very special thank you to Grandma for hanging out with Colin so mommy could catch a few slides!

My all time favorite was the wave river.  It's just like the one at Atlantis except you are permitted to swim without a tube.  I could have spent the entire day there!

  1. Your caption "Happy Summertime Baby" reminds me of a great Caspar Babypants song -- "Summer Baby". One of our favourite from the CD "Hot Dog!". Here's a random video on YouTube with it (ignore all the pictures and just listen to the music/lyrics):

    Every time I hear the song I just imagine riding on a highway with the hot wind blowing, traveling with baby. Haha. Enjoy! It's a great dancing song :).
