Yesterday was a very full day! Joshua woke up with a fever but he was is normal, chipper self so we kept giving him fluids throughout the day. Plus, relief from the heat! It was very overcast at home and later, in Carlsbad. Tyler and his team had a great baseball game; they are getting the hang of the basic rules of the game. I was planning to take Tyler to Legoland to check out their new Pirate Shores. Hector was going to stay home with Joshua but the humidity was around 90% in Torrance and only 79% in Carlsbad which changed his mind in going. Ugh, the traffic was awful and very slow...it took us 2 and 1/2 hours to get there (usually it only takes about 90 minutes).
We arrived at 4pm so we had 4 hours to play. We headed right over to Pirate Shores and naturally, it was packed. There are 2 water rides and 2 water play areas. The ride Splash Battle is a boat type ride with water cannons in the front and back. Two people face forward and two people face backwards and aim water along the ride at objects or people standing along the fence. What you don't know is that some of these people have water cannons too & have the convenience of hiding behind walls while we (in the boat ) do not. Ugh. We got really wet but it was fun. So it was on to the play areas. The Swabbies Deck is for toddlers while the Soak n Sail is for bigger kids. We started in the kiddie section where the kids changed into their swimwear. It is very hard to follow the kids closely risking getting wet too plus there were mobs of kids running around. We saw Tyler run one way then when we located him, we lost sight of Joshua. OMG. It was crazy....trying to find him. There was only one way in/out but we could not find him for about 5 minutes. Hector was on one side and I was on the other looking frantically. We looked in the big kid section briefly but didn't see him, circled around the toddler area again. Finally, I looked over at the slide area and saw Joshua slide down. Phew. Thank goodness.
