Monday - Typhoon Lagoon

On Monday, Mom and Bobby took a break while Grant, Geoff, Katelyn and I headed to Typhoon Lagoon. We had fun playing in the kid area - they had a little raft ride that Geoffrey did a few times. Then we rode in the Lazy River. Typhoon Lagoon is awesome because most of the slides don't have height limits and Geoffrey was able to go down them with his vest on. He went on one of the big tube rides (keelhaul falls?) with no problems!

Geoffrey's favorite - which surprised me - was when we spent time in the wave pool during the big huge waves. Along the side of the wave pool there are too body slides. I distinctly remember on our last visit saying that Geoffrey would probably enjoy these slides on his next visit, and he did! He rode them several times. THen the big waves started and we headed into the lagoon. Geoffrey LOVED getting bowled over by the big waves! Katelyn and I found a shady spot on the side of the wave pool. We would sit and splash and then stand up when the big wave came in. So fun!

Next, we rode the lazy river to the other side of the park and decided to check out the storm slides, which are the three body slides. With no height limit - we decided to give it a try and Geoffrey LOVED it. Grant and I took turns waiting with Katelyn and taking Geoffrey on the slides. SO FUN. Grant and I each got to go twice - and Geoffrey four times - before they closed the park due to a thunder storm - It was five and the park closed at 6. The storm moved in REALLY QUICKLY - and we ended up taking shelter rather far from our stuff. It moved out pretty quickly, too, but not fast enough for the park to reopen.

We headed back to our hotel where Grandpa Bobby had dinner ready. We ate, and then went down to look at the Savannah with night vision goggles. I checked out some board games from the community hall and played Yahtzee Jr. with Geoffrey and then Grant, Bobby, Mom, and I played Taboo.
