Panama City Beach

Yesterday Mark and I took Hayden Panama City Beach. We went to the Shipwreck Waterpark. We got there around 11:00am and the sign said the park opened at 10:30, so Mark and I thought WOW this is going to be great there is no one here. We will be able to ride everything over and over again. Well we forgot that Panama is an hour behind in time, so it was really only 10:00 and by 10:15 there were five lines of people trying to get into the park. Hayden wasn't impressed she had to wait, she was ready to go! She played on everything in the kiddie area; she went down every slide they had except the tunnel slide (for some reason she is now scared of those?!?!). We finally convinced her to go down one of the really big slides with Mommy and Daddy(it was a ride we could all do together on a tube). At first she looked like she was going to cry, so Mark and I started laughing and screaming and she was fine. She liked it so much we had to do it again. She has never had to wait her turn for anything, so Mark and I had to explain it to her over and over again , and all she would say was "well I want to go first".

Coming down on her belly:

Watch me Mommy and Daddy:

After a couple of hours playing we decided it was time to eat some lunch. We ate at Hammerhead Fred's and it was really good. They had a game outside like the ones at Wal-Mart with the stuffed animals, except this one had LOBSTERS. The sign at the top says if you can catch one we will cook it for you. Well needless to say Mark and Hayden ended up spending $8, they did catch two of them, but the got away right at the end ( I think Mark was more disappointed than Hayden).

Trying to Catch a LOBSTER:

When we got done eating, Hayden wanted to play Putt Putt Golf. It was so HOT, but she really enjoyed herself. Mark wasn't impressed with his game of Putt Putt (he tries to play it like real golf). I think Hayden ended up winning. She would put the ball right at the hole and hit it in (that's a hole in one, right). However at the end of our game, Mommy actually did get a hole in one (Mark was very jealous).

Hole in One:

She was so tired when we left to come back we thought she would sleep the whole way, but she only slept 20 minutes. Gracie stayed with Mimi and Pop. Gracie was pleased to have all the attention for one day. She was a very good girl. Mommy, Daddy, and Hayden missed her very much. Maybe next year she will be able to go and enjoy all the excitement.
