Columbus Sailed the Ocean Blue…

Today was the anniversary of when Christopher Columbus set sail on his first voyage in 1492. I didn’t get all educational with this one…I made a huge leap in our “activity” for today, but, I still thought it was plenty fun. We met some friends at the Aquatic Center here in Folsom (you know, the ocean blue part? water? hehe). Cooper had more fun than I would’ve guessed! Check out all the crazy water features in the background! I couldn’t get any cute pictures of him playing in the water features because A: I didn’t dare bring my camera near them, and B: I didn’t dare let my toddler venture out there by his lonesome. It took him 10-15 minutes to acclimate, but he eventually stopped flinching EVERY time water hit him in the face and was even so brave as to go down a water slide all by himself (pictured below)! We will definitely have to re-visit the aquatic center! I will be sure we allow plenty of time, however, as it costs $6/adult and $4/child. Thankfully Cooper was still free because he’s under 2, yay! It’s not terrible, but not super cheap, either. Here’s one final picture of Cooper with friend Faith. SO cute!Columbus? We’ll have to re-visit you next summer! ;)
