Schlitterbahn

This past week we went to Schlitterbahn in New Braunfels. Chris's family has a family reunion every year there. It is a fun time, ecspecially now that we have Avery (well at least most of the time is fun). If we were awake and not eating we were at the Polywog Pond (kiddie area at Schlitterbahn). Avery loved it. Every time we would come off the slide she would immediatly say "again" and run back to the slide. There are a couple of different areas for the kiddie area. She had her favorite in the bigger kiddie area, a frog that was a slide and a turtle that you slide down the shell. She would go head first and come up smiling. She is a little water bug. The other area we spent a lot of time in at the kiddie area has several different small slides and water shooting out of the ground and a car wash. Avery could not decide which one she wanted to do. She would run to one, do it for a few times then go to another. All the kids were worn out every night. Of course my little one would not take a nap (no matter how hard we tried) and I think every night (we were there 4 nights) except one she went to sleep at about 11pm. Although she went to sleep late she did not wake up until about 8 to 8:30 which is amazing for her. I wish that would continue. Chloee, Timothy, and Cameron were there too so they all had fun together. Avery became Chloee's shadow (Chloee is about to turn 5). Avery would turn to Chloee and say "come on Chloee" or she would turn and wait for Chloee before getting in line. It was sweet Chloee would wait for Avery sometimes too. She would say "come on Avery" and Avery would say "I'm coming Chloee". She really enjoys playing with the kids. I enjoy because I am not having to be the source of entertainment. She enjoys playing with Cameron too (he is a month older than she is) so they have a lot of fun together, but I have really noticed that she hangs out more with Chloee. I think it is because Chloee is a girl. That amazes me that she already knows the difference because we have never said anything about that. We all had a blast. It was really fun to get a way and to visit with Chris's family. Next year should be interesting with a baby and a 3 year old. I can't believe it.
