Seven Peaks Waterpark

We enjoyed our first day of the Seven Peaks summer season on Thursday. Since we have season passes, I hadn't planned on staying all day. It was a little bit cold at the beginning of the day(out of the heated water), which made it so the girls wanted to stay in the lazy river or wavepool rather than try the bigger slides. We packed a lunch which we enjoyed in our car around 1pm, and then went back into the park. Since we were dry and it was warmer, we were all willing to wait in line for the slides. After the first time down, the girls both wanted to go again. So we waited in the line again, shivering as we waited in the shade. We stayed and enjoyed the park until about 5:30, which I realized later that night was probably way too long. All three of us were exhausted and sunburned. Next time I will not let us stay that long. That's the whole point of having the season pass - so we don't have to do it all in one day.
I snapped this picture of the girls as we were heading out the door that morning. They were so excited about those swimming goggles, but then didn't really use them once we got to the water. After I ended up wearing both pairs for awhile, I finally tucked them away in our backpack.


We are looking forward to a fun summer at the waterpark and will hopefully be more prepared next time to make the day even more fun(like wearing aqua shoes to prevent our feet from getting torn and bloody and reapplying sunscreen multiple times throughout the day).
