Day 3 was our first day to a park, so I'll have a better post later about that. But, for Day 2, Sunday, we didn't have anything planned. Which, is how we wanted it.
The Steelers played that day. So, Tom found a Steelers bar not far away and the guys went there to watch the game. Laura, Marcy and I stayed "home" with the kids. After just lounging around and enjoying the lazy time, we took the kids to the water park in the neighborhood.
It was a great water park. The water was heated and the kids had a great time. There was a lazy river section, where you get on/in a tube and float around. Harlie wanted to go in it so badly. But, it was deeper, colder (not heated) and had a current. There was no way I felt comfortable enough to take her by myself. I would trust Tom could handle it, but not me. I saw disaster all over that. So, I had to tell her no. I know she doesn't understand how risky stuff like that is.
If Tom had been at the park that day, I would have had him take her down a slide. She so wants to go down a water slide. But, that scares me, too. Too risky by myself.
Regardless, I think she still had fun. It makes me nervous, though. I have to walk beside her most of the time. If she's in water that's too deep for her to sit in safely, I worry that she'll fall while walking and submerge herself. Of course, she doesn't understand all that and resists holding my hand. Oh, the downsides of a trach...
After the football game, the guys went to Costco and stocked up for the week. I think we had frogmore stew (shrimp, scallops, sausage, corn, onions and potatoes). Yum!
This was our view for most of the week (when we were at home, I mean, and not at a park).
The guys did most of the cooking (and pouring) and we sat on the other side of the island, enjoying drinks, food and company. It really was a glorious vacation.
More soon!
