Day 3 Alabama Adventure!!!!

Okay, I know what you are thinking, and yes just living here in Alabama can be an adventure. Today, However, we went to an amusement/water park named Alabama Adventure. If you have lived in the area for a while, you may still call it by it's former name, Visionland. It's the same thing, which is something I did not know when I first moved down here and even for 2 years after that. But let's start at the beginning...
Two major events happened today. First, was my doctor's appointment (with 2 kids in tow) and the second was the trip to the park. I made an appointment to see Troy's podiatrist (foot doctor) because I have been having pain in my left foot. I figured he'd say it was tendonitis and give me an anti-inflamatory and send me on my way. That wasn't exactly the case. I had x-rays before I even saw Dr. Waldrop and the nurse said "it might be a stress fracture". This possibility had not even crossed my mind. Then Dr. Waldrop comes in, pokes, pushes and twists my foot almost completely off and says that he thinks it is a stress fracture. I'm thinking "well it's more than that now." So, on Thursday, I have to go to the hospital for a bone scan. This time, however, I am having a friend watch the kids. While in the office, they were playing catch with Danica's stuffed fox and then she unscrewed the door stopper. Not to mention the joyful giggling that could be heard the whole way down the hall. They weren't that bad, but the bone scan is supposed to take several hours, and I just can't see it happening.
When we left home this morning, we were completely packed to go to Alabama Adventure. Right after my appointment, we headed out. The park is about 40 minutes from my house or about 10 minutes from the school where I teach. We had just got on the highway when it started raining. I don't mean the little cutesy raindrops that make a nice calm rainfall. I mean the huge SPLATS that sound more like hail hitting your car than rain. Troy was in the back almost crying because we had just finished talking to his friend Charlie's mom and arranged to meet them at the park. We kept on driving though and it cleared up the closer we got to the park.
We stood inline for what seemed like hours, when in actuality it was more like 30 minutes. I got our tickets online so that sped up the process a little bit. We now each have a credit card size pass with our picture. Let's just say, if it didn't cost so much, I'd burn mine. Danica and Troy's turned out cute though. Troy started feeling sick while standing in line. He got very pale and said that he was going to throw up. Great. I thought maybe it was the heat and sent him in th restroom to splash water on his face and get a drink. He seemed much better after that. I also told him that he MUST eat breakfast even if he doesn't want to. We spent the whole day playing in the water. Troy met up with over half of his soccer team. Seriously, 5 out of 8 players were there today. He had a great time. Danica met up with some new friends. She can find friends anywhere she goes. She is so not like me. She also went down her first real water slide. Granted, it was in the Kiddie section, but it is a pretty good water slide. She got upset foa about 2 seconds when I told her she was too small to go on any other water slide. Then she said "I'll go on it when I am big like Troy." The ride home was incredibly quiet since both kids fell asleep. We had a great day!!! I'll try to post some pictures tomorrow. Speaking of tomorrow, we're going to a baseball game so the next post may not be until Saturday. Lots of fun planned for this summer! It is great so far! Have a wonderful night and stay safe!
