Well ladies and gents, I did it. I braved the water park alone with two babies in tow. There were some minor complications, but nothing that a little bit of twin-mom-creative-on-the-spot-strategizing couldn't overcome! The wee ones were a bit skeptical at first, but once given a chance they warmed up to the idea and drew attention from many with all their frolicking and splashing about. When it was leaving time, they literally had to be dragged from the water kicking and screaming.....which of course drew even more attention.
Oscar was especially mesmerized by the gleaming surface of the water, the loud churning of the fountains and the breath-taking moments when the slight breeze would pick up enough to carry water over from the sprinklers and shower us with a sudden mist of what had to be the coldest water in all of Brookfield. He took our departure particularly hard, drawing stares, turning heads and raising eyebrows all the way from the kiddie pool to the parking lot.
He was asleep before I even had a chance to buckle his second car seat strap, dreaming about mermaids and waterfalls no doubt.
