Wilderness at the Smokies

We took Beau to an indoor water park called Wilderness at the Smokies!  He loves the water and loves to swim so we thought he would love this and he really did.  We left after nap time, had some dinner when we arrived and then headed over to the water park.  He loved it all!  The slides, the sprinklers, but most of all he absolutely went crazy for the wave pool.  He got in a big tube and would crash it right into the waves and get soaking wet and laugh and squeal like he was having the time of his life!  There is just nothing better than seeing and hearing that pure joy coming from your child.  We also had some tears because he wanted to go out into the deep end by himself, which of course he couldn't do.  Daddy offered to take him out there but he refused.  I guess if he couldn't go by himself it just didn't seem fun enough.  He was fearless and wanted to do it all.  But that was short lived and he happily settled into a spot that he could stand on his own and crash waves until he wore himself out.  When we were all done playing we picked up some ice cream and headed back to the room.  In the morning we had some breakfast and played for another couple hours before having some lunch and heading home.  It was a quick trip but so very worth it!  We will definitely be heading back with both of our boys one day.
