It warms my heart to see the older boys watch out for the younger boys. Ben and Max each were going to take a buddy on to the ride called Odyssey at Lagoon with them last Saturday, but Andrew decided not to at the last minute. He saw the spraying water, and he is very concerned about his right ear getting water in it. He has a hole in his eardrum still from his tubes experience.
So in this picture below, Max is already holding on to James, while Ben rides solo.
Ben was so good to Andrew (they squabble a lot at home, over Legos mostly) at LagoonABeach. He stayed right with him in the shallow kiddie pools, while James led me all around them and up and down the stairs and kid water slides. It was last Saturday, and my legs and back were sore for many days.
Andrew didn't want to do any water slides, he was much happier playing in the sand.
James tries to sit on my lap, but baby girl bump is really in the way lately (the towel is covering a lot of it. It's a big 35-week bump).
So he rested on dad's lap.
Ben and Max are old enough to go down the big slides together by themselves, and come back and check in with us in our shady spot every so often. Though Ben gets cold easily. Here he is trying to get warm in the sun. (We put SPF 70 on them multiple times.)
The sand was warmer.
The best thing about season passes, is we can go for a few hours right when the park opens, but don't feel like we have to stay all day. This helps momma and boys from getting too tired/hot/cranky. Though I could have gone around the lazy river a few more times, that's very relaxing.
