Deke had to work on Mother's day so we decided to celebrate on saturday instead. We slept in and relaxed all morning and then did a little shopping. After lunch we headed to the mesquite grove aquatic center for the first time and ended up spending the entire afternoon there. That place is awesome. It is only a buck per kid to get in and there was plenty for the kids to do. They started off playing on the playground, loving that the slides go down into the water. They also had one of those giant buckets that dump out a gazillon gallons of water every few minutes. Emma insisted on steering very clear of the radius of its splash zone.
Hudson loves swimming at the Y as a family but he was not so sure about all the splashing and getting splashed constantly....
Emma and Avery slid over and over again, they loved it.
Dad and the older kiddos.....
Mom and the little man who decided he wanted out of the pool fairly quickly.
They only have two water slides but the great part is that unlike a water park the line takes two to five minutes and so you can go down over and over again.
A new thing to all of us was this vortex pool. You get in line and then a life guard lets five to six people in at one time and it is almost like a big whirlpool where a current pulls you around and around the pool in a circular motion. The kids wanted to do it over and over again.
They also had a splash pad area for little guys, a lazy river, a large pool and high dives. We played the entire day it was seriously so much fun. I know where we will be all summer trying to beat the az heat.
