Waterville, Gulf Shores, AL

We were invited to spend the day at Waterville USA in Gulf Shores with Nanene, Uncle Boo, Ashley and Matthew. Every year the Marriott Grand hosts an employee appreciation day at Waterville. All the employees and family gets in for free. There was fabulous BBQ, lots of games, music and full use of the park. The entire park was closed, except for all the employees and their families. It was super fun. A fantastic way to end the summer. Thank you Nanene for inviting us. We had a great day!

This was part of the children's part of the park, There were two. Super cool. This put our little splash park to shame! Catch me Uncle Boo!
Uhhh... Nanene..... Its Raining!!!` Run!!!!!This was the best part....let me explain. There is a huge bucket that fills and spills every couple of minutes. Gray was climbing the structure with Nanene, trying to slide. He got caught in this deluge, it knocked him down and scared him a little. Every time that bucket poured, Gray would run. He kept his eye on that thing!
I got a little free time of my own and got to ride one of the slides with Ashley. I guess it has been since Michael and I were little that I have been to Waterville. They now have two and three people rafts. It was really fun. Ashley and I rode down together. We also had a go on the lazy river and the wave pool. Gray thought the waves were fun. Each up and down I would make a rise and fall noise and he would just giggle. All in all a fantastic day, great weather, even better company. Long drive home but so worth it. P.S.--Gray was asleep in the car in two minutes flat!
