Mason had his first "swimming" adventure today! We went to the Lions Junction Family Water Park in Temple with my friend Alisa and her two girls. Mason really enjoyed just sitting in the cool water watching all the kids play. We sat there for at least an hour, and he was completely fascinated with everything going on around him.
Look how focused he is on all the activity! We couldn't even get him to look at the camera! We tried to go on the lazy river - I thought we would both really enjoy just floating along, but unfortunately, it wasn't the peaceful ride we expected! There were several places along the river with water spraying down from above us, and it was much more forceful than I expected! Mason cried every single time we went under one, even though I tried to cover his face. I didn't really like it either, so I don't blame him!
Here's Mason with Alisa's little girl, Olivia. She just turned 4, and is cute as a button! She has such a fun personality!
I could definitely tell when Mason was ready to go. Look how sleepy he is! He took a nice nap when we got home!
I noticed tonight that he has a few sunburned spots on his arms and legs. I put sunscreen on him several times and tried to keep him in the shade of my body as much as possible. I feel so bad!! I'm so glad he enjoyed the water though! I bet next year, we'll be spending a lot more time at the pool!
