Another summer activity we have not done in a couple of years was go to Roaring Springs. So since we were overdue we decided to do it. Another added bonus was having a little bit older kids so I did not have to be stuck at the kiddie pool all day long. This is the trip that we really saw little Rylee for what she really is... a little Daredevil! This girl had absolute no fear. She went on anything and everything. We started the day having her wear a life jacket and we all started going on rides. Kenedy had a friend there and so we did not see much of her but the rest of us stuck together for some of the day and split up for some of the day. Kefford got Rylee to go on the Avanlache and I had to watch this happen. I went on this particular ride a couple of years ago and vowed never to do it again. I wish I could have captured the look of terror on Rylees face on the initial drop. It was priceless! I thought she would get off the ride and be done but she got off and wanted to do it again. Crazy girl! She went on it a total of three times! No fear in her! She actually ended up doing every single ride in the park except the Cliffhanger which I think she would have done but I was not about to let her do that ride.
Here is the only picture I got of Kenedy and her friend Hannah because it was pretty much the only time I saw her the entire day. I know she had fun though and was so happy to have Hannah there with her.
My friend Crystal and her two kiddos met us at the park and while I was off hanging out with her for a while i found out that Rylee went down the racing slides into the 10 feet deep pool without her life jacket and managed to swim herself to the steps! I was amazed! I had to see this for myself and so we went down together.
Avynlea had a fun day hanging out with her friend Nathan.
All in all it was a great day and I am so glad we got to be there. I don't have any pictures of Ryker because he spent most of the day trying to avoid us. Unlike Rylee Ryker is not a Daredevil and didn't want his Dad to push him on anything he didn't want to do. So there you go!
