Chase: The Adventurer! (Pictures to come later)

We went to Alabama Adventure on Sunday afternoon.  It is a Six Flags sort of place with a water park.  I think it used to be called Visionland.   Anyway, Chase has always been afraid of stuff...the pool, the jumping thing at the mall, etc.  I never thought he would be adventurous, but he fooled me yesterday.  We went to the water park and they have this jungle gym type thing with HUGE buckets of water that splash down and a big winding water slide.  He went down the slide several times and earlier this summer at Point Mallard water park, he would not go near it.   I went with him and so did my mom, but he loved it.  When we went to the rides, he only wanted to ride things he could ride alone and not with mommy.  Luckily, they had a lot of rides for kids at least 36 inches.   The one that shocked me was the kiddie roller coaster.  I HATE roller coasters and being off the ground.  I am scared of heights...terrified actually.   I rode this thing with him like 3 or 4 times and my mom rode it 1 time.  It went really fast and sort of high up and curved a lot...for a kiddie coaster, it scared me a little!  He giggled on it!  I was totally shocked.   He also stayed in the pool for hours at the hotel, which he has not done all summer so that shocked me too.  I guess my little guy is growing up and I could just cry!

I got an email from Jason today and he is doing great in Africa.  He said they are going back to the village on Wednesday.  I hope for him to blog more soon or at least when he returns write a long one so we will always remember his trip.

I have not taken the pictures off of my camera yet.  I will do that and add them to this post a little later.

This is my last 3 days off...Hi Ho, Hi Ho..back to work on Thursday...UGH!  Where did the summer go??
