This particular day Lacey and I took our kids out to Heise where they have a pool and a water slide and a diving board and some hot pools too. This was the first time we went this year and Taylee was very much attatched to her floaty and didn't want anything to do with the waterslide. We tried so hard to get her to go, but no convincing worked.
I post this because we actually ended up coming here a total of 3 times this summer and each time we came Taylee got more and more brave. We came back the 2nd time with Bonnie and Aaron and we took her in the warm pool and she went under water. I mean actually dunked her entire head under the water. Now if you know Taylee this is a HUGE deal and once she did it once, she just kept doing it again and again and we laughed and cheered for her and she thought she was so brave and so cool (and so did we). Still no luck though on the waterslide. The third time we came was with Danny and Makay when they came to visit (sorry absolutely no pictures were taken on that). Anyway, her cousin Addi and her baby cousin Isaac all went down the waterslide and I kept trying to bribe her and convince her she would like it, but still she was not interested. She was definatly more comfortabl in the water and played hard. We had used up almost all of our waterslide tickets and had just enough left for all of us to go one more time. We had been watching Uncle Danny go down and Taylee was laughing at him, but still showing no signs of being interested herself. Then, funny thing, she saw a Scooby-Doo life jacket in the pools pile of loaners and she really wanted to wear that life jacket. So just with that she decided to go down the waterslide. She wasn't scared the whole walk up and wasn't scared getting in and laughed and laughed the whole way down. We got done and she said, "lets go again!" But of course those were our very last tickets. What a funny, stubborn little girl.
And then there is Conner who isn't afraid of anything. Here he is about to jump off the diving board. Fun, fun times!
