Spring Break with a Splash!


We started Spring Break off with a SPLASH at Schlitterbahn in Galveston. They have this great indoor area that is heated (water & air)! The best part is that there is a kiddie area indoor and the better part......Bella LOVED it!! Last year she loved the water and we were a little afraid that she may be afraid this year because that happens with kiddos sometimes. But she is her father's child in a big way. She had the BEST time splashing, sliding, squealing, and "swimming".


She did lots of sliding and had us both going up the stairs and down the slide, over and over again!!


She did take a little break to eat a snack.

But was quickly on the move to get back in the water.


She got braver and braver as the day went on and as we would get off the slide she would start back around to the stairs like a big girl. We would get almost to the stairs and she would stop and reach for my finger to hold the rest of the way. Melt my heart!

There was also a hot tub or more like a pool with hot water, either way if felt GREAT!! Bella enjoyed that too. Last year Terry would blow in Bella's face and then dunk her under the water. She always thought this was funny. He tried it again and she still thinks it's funny. Only this year she has taken it a step further and started going under by herself. Sign this girl up for swimming lessons!! I think she is going to be a little fish.

After Schlitterbahn Terry decided he wanted to go to the Rainforest Cafe. On Spring Break. That place was so crowded it was ridiculous!! Luckily he decided against it after he saw the line just to put our name on the waiting list. We did ride the ride and Bella really enjoyed all the animals and the sounds. We ended up eating at my favorite place, Fishtails!! I love me some Shrimp Kisses!! We had a great time in Galveston and we are so lucky that we live so close and can take advantage of it!!
