We had our last summer outing on August 9th because Logan started school the following week. We had bought passes for C0c0 Key Indoor W*terpark at the beginning of the summer and they were ready to expire. My brother and I took both kids but Logan is definitely the waterpark kid. Madison was happy just splashing around in the little kids pool area. We played divide and conquer and I spend my time with Madison in the kiddie area (I am not much of a waterpark girl either). Occasionally Logan would come to the small pool, but he was much more into the bigger things. This place was okay, but I much prefer the outdoor waterpark we usually go to.
I think Logan's favorite part was on the drive home. We are out in the country driving and we noticed there was a helicopter flying low in front of us. Of course our initial thought was it must be a medical helicopter. After closer inspection, we discovered it was a crop duster helicopter. Perfect timing since Logan was going to see the movie Pl*nes the next day. We found a side road to pull over so Logan could watch it. As luck would have it, it was also the road the refilling truck was on. Logan and my brother got out and were able to talk to the owner and Logan got to see up close and personal how they refilled it. I stayed in the car, because Madison slept through the whole thing but I was able to get some pictures. It is amazing how they are able to land on the top of the truck, talk about skill!
*Madison is in a black and white swimsuit and Logan has a blue swim shirt on. A waterpark is not an easy place to take pictures.

That sounds really neat! Though I hear you on the indoor versus outdoor water park...definitely a fan of the outdoor ones, but I don't think the kids care as long as they're getting wet, ha!
Looks like the perfect way to end the summer. Nothing beats lots of water. I hope you were able to get some much needed respite this weekend. We're officially off to the races with school in MI. Emma's 5:30am alarm clock was a painful reminder.
What a fun last blast of summer! The helicopter sounds so cool!! I might be afraid to ride in one, would you?
Hope back to school is going well!
In Nebraska, they dust crops with small airplanes instead of helicopters. I agree outdoor waterparks are better than indoor.
