The Y really has an awesome set up! The pool's depth starts at 6 inches and deepens to 3ft, past the rope the water is 4ft deep. There are 2 large water slides that empty into the roped area. Madelyn is tall enough to ride these water slides but isn't a strong enough swimmer for when she is dumped into the pool, I offered to catch her but she chose not to go up. (she's my cautious child) The shallower area of the pool has water spouts and a smaller slide that Madelyn & Mikayla both really enjoyed. Madelyn tested her swimming skills and handled the chaos well. Fearless Mikayla did get trampled once or twice but fortunately I was right there pull her up when she went down and under. It was a lot of fun but still a little nerve-racking for me. There are 3 or 4 lifeguards on duty but there had to be 100 kids in the pool! EVERY parent has to be hands-on and EXTRA attentive. Luckily, we survived our first trip to the water park without incident or injury and had a great time.
Unfortunately, I forgot my camera in the car but for the most part, I was too wet and so busy looking after the girls I wouldn't have been able to take many pictures anyway. I wish that Mike could have come with us, he would've had fun and his extra eyes and hands would've been helpful, hopefully he'll be able to join us next time.

Yes, I remember the days at the YMCA Water Park. Maranda has gone to couple of birthday partys there as well. That's the first time I saw her actually get her face wet in the water. At the fountains on the bay front she could go through the whole thing and not a drop on her face.
So I can just picture your girls there having fun in the water.
Glad you guys had a good time; I know how much the girls love the water! I'd be pretty nervous too since a drowning can happen so quickly. The more eyes, the better!
