Spring Valley Beach

We had a great day yesterday! We went down to Spring Valley Beach in Blountsville. Tim's parents live near there so we decided to take Joshua to the water park. We have been trying to do some special things with Joshua since he will start school in a few weeks. We actually went to Oneonta first to pick up our Nephew Blake from Maw Maw and Paw Paw's house. He was going to spend the day with us also. We were also dropping off Dylan with Maw Maw so he could spend the day with them while we were at the park. We stayed and visited with everyone for a while and then we left to have a quick lunch and head to the park. Joshua was excited but a little nervous. He kept saying his stomach hurt. He just didn't know what to expect. Our first stop at the park was the kiddie pool. It had several things for everyone to play on. It was in the middle of a big pool with plenty of room for everyone to swim or float around. Joshua loved climbing on everything and spraying us with water. We then went over to the medium size slides. We had fun going down those. It took Joshua a while to feel comfortable to do those on his own but he eventually worked up to doing them by himself. (after a small push from me and some teasing from Blake!) We played on the slides and in the pool for awhile and then decided to take a break and get some snow cones. After our break we went over to the bigger slides. We had been over there once before but after waiting a long time for a float and then climbing a big hill to the top, Joshua decided those slides were not for him so Tim walked Joshua back down (Blake and I rode) and we decided to stick with the smaller ones. There was one really fast one that Joshua liked as long as he could go down with one of us. Blake and I rode a few more of the big ones and then we went back to the pool and stayed at the other ones the rest of the time. Around 4:00 we decided we better get back and rescue the grandparents from Dylan! We picked up some pizza on the way home and had dinner with Maw Maw and Paw Paw at their house. They said Dylan had a great day! He was so good for them. He didn't even get upset when we left. He waved bye to us as Paw Paw was playing with him on the swing. He played and had lunch. He even took a nap with Maw Maw and Paw Paw. I was impressed. He also used the big boy potty a few times for them. Paw Paw has a recliner that he always sits in and everytime he would get up Dylan would run and climb in his chair and laugh. Move your feet lose your seat! We were glad we had such a great day with the kids! Hopefully we can do it again some time!
