Water Park

We stopped in Tulsa to spend time with Mom and Dad Bliss. We had a lot of fun Saturday when they took us to a water park. At first Brandon was sleepy. He fell asleep on the ride down and was determined to get his nap in. He finally got the courage to start exploring and found himself a playground that had water gushing from every seam. He loved turning the wheels that opened valves to spray water, but the most enjoyment he found was on a water slide. He would run up the stairs climbing through a waterfall that could have drown him and then race to the top at times jumping in head first. We have always known our son was a dare devil, but grandma and grandpa's adventure raised us to a new level. They both got to take him down the slide and we all laughed when his bright and happy face came out the bottom of that dark and wet tunnel. He couldn't get up fast enough and when he would run to get back and do it again, the water past his knees, he would fall face first. We finally just started handing him up to awaiting aunts and uncles who wanted to see first hand Brandon's happy little face as the anticipation built for his turn to go down once again on the big green water slide. It's hard to believe all the things he wants to do at only 18 months, but as his daddy I find joy in all the things I learn that he can do.
