Flash Goon!

We went to Splash Lagoon in Erie, Pennsylvania in early November to celebrate Sam's eighth birthday. 

Or, as Josh calls it, Flash Goon. 

And the Westerville Collinses joined us, which was really fun. 

I have no pictures of the interior of Flash Goon. I didn't want to bring electronics into the land of moistness. But I can share a couple of photos of the rest of the trip. We stayed in the Holiday Inn, the same hotel the WCs were staying. Last year's hotel was separated from Flash Goon by about fifteen minutes of indoor tunnels and hallways. This time we just walked through a door. In was LUXURY.

Enough of the talkie talk. Here are some photos:

The first night we ate at an Applebee's, I think. 

Here is cousin Emily massaging Sam's fleeing head.

Josh, in the hotel room, living large.

Very pleasant weekend. Sam went down more water slides than he'd been courageous enough for last year. And Josh totally exploded into the kiddie slides, even going down some face-first. Kid's a hazard. And WAY WAY easier to parents in that context.
