Well, this past Saturday, we decided to relax, but do something fun as a family...taking advantage of the time we have before the new little one arrives. So, we decided to go the St. Marys Aquatic Center. It was a beautiful day - maybe a little TOO nice, since the water was pretty cool... but Bella had fun, and that's really all that counts.
Here's a pic of the Aquatic Center's kid's play area:
The big bucket on top fills up with water and then turns over and splashes everything about every 2.5 - 3 minutes. Bella was not a fan. She kept saying "I don't like the big bucket" and refused to go on any of the slides, for fear of all the water tumbling down on her. poor thing. and every time we tried to "help" her get up the courage to play on the slides...low and behold, the bucket would dump, and all was lost...
She really likes the lazy river though :)
most of her time was spend just wading in the shallow water of the kiddy area:
and of course, there were times that "lil' miss independent" came out - like here, where's she's saying "No, Mommy, Stay BACK!"
yes, we have entered the rhelm of sassiness. Joy. I wonder if she'll be like her mama as a teenager...let's hope not.
