Coco Key

Today Nicholas & I invited our friends Ryan & Julie to Coco Key Waterpark to celebrate Nicholas' 4th birthday! It started out a little shaky... Nicholas didn't want to even get in the zero-entry pool! Ryan is a little fish & just took off running! Eventually Nicholas warmed up to the kiddie area and had a blast. One of his favorite parts was the lazy river. He sat with me in an intertube and we floated around at least 9 times! He just loved it! He also enjoyed going down the "blue waterslide". To anyone who KNOWS my child and his crazy fear of getting his head wet, this was a huge accomplishment! To get to the "blue waterslide", he had to climb up a rope ladder thing (ouch, feet!), walk where water splashed on his head & up from the ground, more rope ladder, and then wait patiently in line & hope the big huge bucket didn't dump water on him in the meantime. Seriously a big accomplishment. We stayed four super-fun hours and had a great time. On a side note, Julie made me go on a fast, scary, pitch-black waterslide on a tube. Scary!
