Monday I was able to go to a water park in Denver called Water World. There weren't any other wildflowers going, so my mother-in-law watched mine for me. I was able to have a wonderful time without tending to children and hangin out in the kiddie area. The day was fairly hot, which is what you want when you are in water all day long. There were about 22 of our family members, including aunts, uncles and cousins. Growing up it was a tradition in our family to go every summer to Water World or Six Flags and then to Casa Bonita for dinner. Casa Bonita is this crazy restaurant that has cliff divers, secret caves, mariachi bands and lots of other great things. When you are a kids, it is really impressive!! Pretty cool when you are an adult also : ) My uncle Herb, who is my mom's brother, used to always love to go to Water World with us. He was in an accident in several years ago and became a quadriplegic which eventually caused his death. So it was sad going there without him to hangout and have fun with. He was definitely in all of our thoughts thru out the day.
So we continued a family tradition and had a wonderful time. My family is pretty fun to be around and it is full of some pretty colorful personalities!! I have always been very close to my cousins. So as you can see, family is a major part of our lives and I am very thankful for that!!
Here are some pics from the day:
