Sea World and Schlitterbaun

Well we went to Sea World Saturday and to Schlitterbaun Water Park today. Sea World was miserably hot and crowded. We got to see a few shows and they were excellent, but a worker said it was their busiest day so far this season. I believe it. Today we went to the water park. Mark, Harper, and I parked in the shady kiddy area while Chandler and Kara went to ride the big rides. It was wonderful. we didn't move away from our little picnic table and lounge chair all day. Harper "warmed up" to the water so that she enjoyed getting wet. She also met a little bald headed 10 month old man dressed in a full body superman swimsuit. I believe she was slightly love struck and so was he, but after she tried giving him two open mouth kisses we didn't see him anymore. Oh well. She also got another bowl of dipping dots today. Her third this week. I think dipping dots is her new favorite food. She can eat the whole bowl by herself--and she did.We'll be back in the "real world" with no dipping dots when we get home. This is vacation. 

She was measured for her helmet this morning and we will pick it up tomorrow at 1:00. Darren (the helmet guy) will custom fit it to her head and face then. We was very pleased with the progress she had made. He said the space where the bone was removed had opened up about 1 1/2 cm. This is from the front part of her brain growing and expanding as it should now. Darren said she could go without her helmet for the day. (She was going to anyway, because we knew we were going to Schlitterbaun. But at least we were official today) It's getting late so I will try to post again before we leave. 

Mark wasn't too scared of water this deep. 

Kara and Harper at the top of the baby sized water slides. The drip at the top was what Harper enjoyed the most.

The bathing beauty. I realized today that she has a better tan than I do.

She was playing at the vent where the water bubbled out. 

I always knew she could "take" bubba.

What is the saying about kids? Something about watching your heart walk around outside of your body.
I've heard down syndrome people have the purest hearts of all.
It's hard to believe the things she has already brought to my attention that needs to be changed in my own life.
There is no reason God hasn't given up on me except for His grace.
 

In Christ.
God's blessing to all of you again,  Brook
