Cherry Hills Water Park



 

Then came Thursday.......Jena and I spent the morning at the Utah Open, watching Hole 15 for a hole-in-one.  We sat with another mom with her adult daughter with Down syndrome and had a nice day in the shade.  We visited and sometimes just read the books we brought.  We greeted the golfers as they came to the hole.  No hole-in-ones while we were there.

 

Then we picked up some pizza and picked up Jena's friend, Kaitlyn and headed to Cherry Hills which is a water park.  There are a couple of swimming pools, a lazy river and some water slides.  Jena is not a fan of waterslides but Kaitlyn loves this one, so Jena went on it a couple of times with her.  Kaitlyn was willing to go by herself but Jena wanted to go with her.  Here are pictures from their second run.

Heading home.

I swam and floated on the lazy river, but mostly I read a book and tried to not let them see me checking on them.  They are teenagers after all.  It was Kaitlyn's 18th birthday. 

I have gotten a lot of reading done on these activities which is nice because life has been very busy so I was always looking for excuses to read.  I have been reading "Jack Reacher" novels by Lee Child which is my "junk" reading.  Not that they are junk--just that they are books I read for enjoyment not for other grander reasons.  I did complete the book for our Grandma's book club Facebook Group:  "The Longest Walk".  It is a true story about 6 people who escaped from a Siberian prison camp in 1939 and walked to India to freedom.  It was great and I highly recommend it.
