Water park fun

Mike's last day of shutdown week was spent at Geauga Lake's Wild Water Kingdom. The weather was hot and humid and the park was packed but , for the most part we had fun.By the end of the four hour afternoon that we spent there Michael's foot and leg were bothering him quite a bit. As for me , I smashed my toe on the lazy river as soon as we got there. It hurt so bad that I expected to see a bone through the skin but thankfully this was not the case. Because of the swelling and pain Mike wanted to leave the park right away and get it x rayed but I agreed to go after the park closed. Of course , taking it easy on a lounge beach chair while everyone played in the activity pool and went on water slides, I felt a lot better when the park finally closed. Much to Mike's dismay, I decided that bed sounded better than Emergency so we skipped the visit. This morning however, I think that I will have to make that visit yet as swelling and pain have me rethinking the whole situation.We will just have to see how much time I have after picking up Cindy's senior pictures, grocery shopping , and all the other things on my to do list today. Speaking of Cindy's Senior pictures, as I mentioned before, many of the shots taken of Cindy left a lot to be desired.In many her hair could have used a smoothing before the shot was taken ( Something a GOOD photographer as opposed to the cranky lady that unfortunately she got would have done) another of Cindy's main complaints was that though they posed her with a couple of her chosen backgrounds, they did close ups and she did not end up with her requested shots. The main shot where this happened was in front of a waterfall. In Cindy's picture you could not see that waterfall at all and it looked like a swamp shot. She has mentioned her displeasure about this a couple times so when we walked by the decorative waterfall at the park yesterday, I had an idea. Though Cindy was not dressed quite in senior picture style I suggested that we take a couple digital pictures of her with this water fall. Not really as a senior picture but just a nice picture. below you can see a couple. I was impressed. Maybe when they boys need senior pictures I will spend the six hundred plus on some updated equipment and let Mike take them. .
