Blue Bell aquatic center

After going to the neighborhood pool a few times the kids wanted something different. There is a waterpark in Brenham that is by the Blue Bell ice cream factory. It is perfect for the under 12 crowd. 1/2 the pool is only 2'-9" so the younger ones can walk all over. There is a larger 1/2 tube slide. and a beach entry so little ones have some shallow water. All the areas have a ice cream theme. We went with Boyers and Michael and Harrison did okay with the huge number of girls-I guess they're used to it though.


Michael was the easiest to keep track of-he was content to just sit and play or chew on the goggle strap.

Harrison with the ball and running in the water from the showering ice cream sundae. He thought it was great to have so much area that he could run it and kept me busy making sure he didn't get in too deep. I forget that little boys don't sit still for long.

The big girls at the top of the slide.



Morgan on the slide. We went to this waterpark last summer with Girl Scouts and Morgan was not tall enough to go on the slide then. This was a great thing to be tall enough finally.



Claire, Alex and Samantha loved the banana split slide and spent most of the afternoon there.





Emily and Lexi trying their balance on the floating popcicles. They hold the rope and go across.




Mid-afternoon there was some thunder so we had to take a 1/2 hr. break which was fine. The clouds quickly passed and we enjoyed the rest of the afternoon. We did get the chance for a photo op. It's not everyday you get to sit on a giant banana split.
