The Water Park, and Tim's back

So a couple of weeks ago, Tim was really sick and out for 3 days. This is the same guy who has gotten the perfect attendance award at work, and is almost forced into taking vacations. So when he's out, he's out. I don't question it. I give him little foot massages and get him medicine. Love the imported medicine where I can actually read the labels, and know it's mostly FDA regulated... anyway.

Lance, our driver (named after Tim's buddy) suggests Tim goes into his wife's salon for a purifying back treatment. He is reluctant, but didn't want to be a cultural snob. So he goes in and gets this done:

And this is over a week after the treatment. The technique is to use suction cups that apparently "draw out the impurities" in your system. I say it's hickeys. And I'm sure Tim is just relieved I'm posting the pictures after all the dark red/purple turned light brown. What a sport to pull a "when in Rome".

Yes (I'm answering your question), I did take pictures of the backs of at least 2 other guys with spotted backs. Tim pretended not to know me for this part. I would post the pictures, but nobody wants to see that many speedos. Your welcome.

Tanner is big into lotions lately. If he could, he'd put anti-bacterial hand sanitizer all over his body. He must've thought we were giving in by putting sunscreen all over his body. He was so happy he just laughed.


The water park was HUGE, I think that's why they called it Dino park. Or could it be because of the above picture?


Tim got Hunter a water "G.U.N." Hunter thought it was cool to spray people passing us in the lazy river. Which, by the way, was my favorite part. It seemed to go on forever, it wrapped in and out throughout the park.

Hunter loved the slides. He was fearless. For one of the slides, Tim waited at the bottom, while I went up with Hunter, Tanner and our raft. When we got to the top, they told us we couldn't all three go together. So they quickly grabbed a tube and sent Hunter off on his own. When I got to the bottom, I could see Tim's surprised expression and the huge adrenaline rush in Hunter. He loved it. That was first of many rounds of that. During that Time Tim took off for big boy rides. You can't go to a water park and not go on those.

He loved it.

Because we all love our picture in a swimsuit (gasp). Here's the family picture, Left to Right:
Hunter, Tim, Tanner, Casper.

Cute story:
When we were in the lazy river, we got a two-seater raft. We all got on first at the steps, Tim then pulled us out and tried to jump on with the water already at his waist. Each time he fell off the raft Tanner screamed the LOUDEST I'd ever heard. He was so very concerned to see Tim go under water. He got really mad at Tim when he kept trying. Poor Tann didn't like to see his Daddy "get hurt". Tim would laugh, then Tanner would be okay. But it took three rounds of Tanner reaching to save Tim, as angry as a hornet. He was very scared for Tim. The on-lookers would just crack up at how Tanner was so worried. So pure, kids, aren't they?
