Mullinnix Family Blog: Rainy Water Park

Wednesday morning we had plans to meet our cousins in Baytown at Pirates Bay. That morning the only area in Houston that was not getting rained on was the Baytown area. So we packed up, held our breath and crossed our fingers that the rain would stay away. It just started sprinkling off and on as we got to Pirates bay but no lightning so we decided to go for it. One good thing about going to a waterpark on a rainy day is that you pretty much have the whole place to yourself. Eli, Sean, and Reagan had a blast. Hannah Joy was having a good time too but the poor thing was shivering.

Sean and Eli had fun splashing each other. This is huge for Eli because he use to cry if anyone splashed him in the face. Seems like swim lessons are really helping!

Just a picture of The Diva to show that she was there too!

After playing in the water for about an hour Abby and I had had enough of being cold (can you believe one can get cold in TX in the middle of July?!) and decided to head somewhere dry (at least it only cost us $5)

Since we were close by to the Mall we decided to head there and let the kids play before meeting up with Granny for lunch. Reagan would go from trying to keep up with the boys to playing with Hannah Joy. Poor Reagan, not quite big enough to keep up with the boys (even though her and E wear the same size shoes!) and too old for playing with a baby!

Finally it was lunch time, Abby had arranged for us to meet up with Granny for lunch at the Golden Coral. We had a lovely lunch where I was one of "those" people with the terrible kids. The Diva was just not happy and throwing a fit for most of the lunch. Eli was being his normal loud self, while trying to crawl under the table. The Diva in her fit throwing had food and cheerios all over the table and floor. Wouldn't you want to come sit next to us?! I think The Diva was a bit over whelmed by the buffet because as soon as we left she calmed down.

Of course the boys were not done playing so we headed over to Abby's house to get a little more play time in before we headed back north. Granny even stopped by to get a little more great grandkid time in.
