"Otter Creek, Otter Creek, oh Otter Otter Creek..." That's the start of a song our kids made up about their favorite place in TR. There are many verses to the song and it is sung with great gusto and at high volumes. So you can imagine their delight when it was announced that our co-op had rented the park and would be hosting a family kick-off event! They've seen the lines on a typical Saturday in the summertime and were really excited to get to be there with lots of friends and short lines!

Since Jimmy was out of town adventuring it up racing through the mountains of NC, I called on GaGa and Grandpa who were more than happy to come over and play with the littlest two guys. It was really so much fun to be out with my bigger kids getting to play in the water with them and slide down the slides. Ben has been talking about the red slide since last summer and he was thrilled to find out that he's grown enough to touch the bottom by himself! He must have done that slide about 30 times and absolutely did not want to be helped over to the ladder. : ) The big kids loved having a little bit of freedom to run from slide to slide with friends. They already had high hopes about how fun co-op was going to be and the Otter Creek night pretty much confirmed those hopes.

Water park with the bigs joy...
