I think I’ve neglected to mention it before but Dominique, my little brother from Big Brothers Big Sisters, is back in Kansas City. If you recall from months ago, Dominique went to live with his grandmother in Atlanta for a few months. He has been back for a month or so and we’ve seen him twice since then. The first time we went fishing at a nearby lake. We didn’t catch anything but we did get a few bites here and there. I guess fish do like beef jerky after all.
Yesterday we decided to take Dominique and Bianca to Super Splash. They both had talked about this water park before, and we finally gave in and took them there. Bianca’s birthday was a few days ago, so we thought this would be a nice way to celebrate. As their website says, “Super Splash USA is close to home, fits your budget, and is family fun for everyone!” It is actually about a mile from their house, just south of the stadiums, and it only costs $9 per person.
Although they don’t have too many different slides to ride, there is still something for everyone, and enough to keep you busy for a few hours. Plus there is one really large pool where we tried to teach both of them how to swim. I think they are catching on, but they were petrified of the deep end. They wanted so badly to jump off the diving board but I don’t think they could have made it back to the ladder. It probably didn’t help that one of the lifeguards had to jump in the water to help someone as we were debating whether to jump or not. There is always next time.
