Our Fun (and Free!!) Date Night

To talk about "Kokomo Beach" to people who aren't from here feels very misleading to me. After all, it is missing some key components of a beach - like sand and a large body of water. But it is a nice pool/water slide/splash pad fun place for people to spend time on hot, sunny days like we've been having in abundance lately! 

Ryan and I don't go often, because we don't have kids, and it really tends to make more sense for people who do. But this past weekend, we got a chance to go free, so of course, we went!

Kokomo Beach is open to the public during the day, but sometimes in the evenings, businesses will rent it and make it available to their people, free of charge. So last Saturday, the hospital rented it and employees could come and bring their families. He's an employee and I'm family!!

The day had been crazy hot, and the evening was very pleasant, but when you left the water, it was a little on the chilly side! 

Ryan wanted to start out with the slides, and he didn't even have to wait in line! Straight up the stairs and down the slides. I stood with all the moms to get pictures. Ha!)

We headed over to the lazy river, which is pretty much my only speed at places like this. I'm such a killjoy. Ryan did take a few spins in the river with me, but he also got out and got the phone so we could have some proof I was there.

He got in the pool to hang out with some of his co-workers, and I sat and talked to one of our friends that happened to walk by. (She was on mom-duty and not swimming that night.)

He wanted to do the slides one more time, so of course, I had to get some video! (That ladder is so tall!) 

We stayed for a couple of hours and had so much fun!
