We took a vacation with the Furni down to colonial Williamsburg and Friday morning our first order of buisness was Water Country USA, the water park of Busch Gardens. The children had all been up really late the night before and I was sure that the water park would be short lived because Kennedy and Kohen would be wrecked. Both Nathan and I were shocked when the children all held up great. No crying, no fighting, no whining. Just playing in the water and riding a few waterslides with the dads...for 6 hours straight. It seems like everything about this day was unprecidented. Including the fact that Alyssa took a 2 hour nap in the stroller- I could not believe that she slept so long somewhere other than her crib! It was fabulous and so unexpected! The park is really beautiful, surrounded by lush trees everywhere and they had really cool kiddie areas. They have nice life jackets for everyone to wear if they want which was great. Our favorite thing was this lazy river where everyone wore life vests and then just floated around, it was awesome! We could have stayed in there all day. Now, anyone who knows my kids well knows that they hardly ever sleep in cars, and if they do it would be one of the three and never more than one at a time. As we got the car packed up and got in to leave the water park Nathan and I look back and find both Kennedy and Kohen passed out! We hadn't even left the parking lot yet! In the Furniss's car it was the same- the girls wiped out as soon as they were buckled in. Kennedy was actually snoring by the time we reached the hotel, not even 15 min later. It was a surprisingly long and wonderful day. We were so grateful to have been able to spend it with our little family and also our dear friends.
