Splash Station

We went to Omaha Friday/Saturday to visit Dan, Raye, and Joseph. Grandma Mary was there to so it was great seeing her there as well. We were able to squeeze in a visit before school begins next week. The next time we return will be meeting our nephew/niece in November. On Sat. Dan and Raye took us to Splash Station in Fremont, NE. It is about 30 west of Omaha. We headed there after lunch. I thought Ruth would nap on the way there but nope. The kids were all excited to get in the water and get wet but not Ruth. She was cranky and wanting nothing to do with the water. I gave up with trying so I laid her on the tanning chair to see if she would fall asleep. I felt terrible b/c we were totally in the sun. Soon a family was leaving that was under a nice shady umbrella, and we were able to score some shade. Ruth relaxed for about a half hour and she was a new person. She wanted to go in the water and finally enjoyed it too.



Every 2 minutes the water tower would blow its whistle and the water would spill out. Ruth was absolutely scared of this pretty much the whole time we were there.


Grandma in the water with her grandkids. Joseph loved the water. Ruthie on the other hand wasn't fond of it and cried the first hour or so of being there. She was very tired and wanted to nap.


Raye and Dan in the wave pool.


Gettin' some sun.


Doing much better now in the water after a little 'relaxin' time in the shade.


Clare was tall enough to go down the yellow slide. She thought that was pretty cool.



Time for a snack.
