One Last Outting

On Tuesday I decided to take the girls (Sydney, Melia, Lynda, and Little B) to a fun place in Hickory called the Kool Park for one last outing before school starts on the 25th. When I told Sydney about the 20ft diving board her eyes got big and she got excited....then nervous....then bold. She was bound and determined that the 20ft diving board WAS NOT going to conquer her, she was going to conquer it first. So she did, first thing. I didn't even get a chance to see her jump. She came to me all wet and told me that she jumped. WOW! I jumped off that very platform 7 years previous and was scared....and it made my ears hurt (I'd turned into a wimp). I told her that I wanted to get pictures so she let me know when she was going to jump again. (the girl jumped 11 times that day!)
Going up.....

Getting the guts....

And plummeting to earth....

I swear the girls got balls...
Next to the pool was a rock formation with a water fall and water slide. Little B LOVED the water slide. (She didn't like waiting her turn.) Luckily most of the kids left an hour or so after we got there (a lot of day cares come to the park) and the line for the slide was nil-to- nun.

Lynda sent me this picture (Thanks Lynda!) I tell ya, the faster we went the more Little B loved it. She's fearless!!!

Melia and Sydney couldn't get enough! Melia front first...
Butt first.... LOL!

Sydney did the Super Man....

And finally a big pool Little B could touch the bottom in!

I did learn an important thing while I was at the park...I am now allergic to bee stings. The garbage cans (which are uncovered!) were swarming with bees. I was unfortunate enough to have put my arm down one one of them and the SOB sung me! I thought it no big deal, I've been stung before but, on the way home (about 15 min later) I started breaking out in hives and itching all over. I thought it was the pool water, (no one else was itchy though) my throat was getting tighter and so was my chest.....It was all I could do to get to a pharmacy.....they told me to take Benadryl, so I did and was better. On the way home from dropping off Lynda my lips started to swell up on the right side. I thought "wow, that can't be good!" I felt like Téa Leoni on "Fun With Dick and Jane" when she went for the new botox testing and her lips swell up. (mine was not that bad) I have decided that this fall I will go to an Allergist and get a Rx for an EpiPen. I know that this sting was just to let me know that I better be prepared...or die...or something. Anyway, we all had a great time!! lol
