Funny, how sometimes the best experiences aren’t what you expect. Today was a compromise. I had promised the kids a waterpark day, with their cousins no less, and we had cut that out of the itinerary. So I had to find a substitute. Enter “The Reef,” an indoor water park in Billings, MT. 

First, we made a stop at the temple so Cassandra and Aunica could do baptisms. I’m so thankful for their sweet spirits.

Then, The Reef. 2 water slides, a wave pool, a little kid area with 3 little slides and a huge dumping bucket, a hot tub, a lily pad obstacle, and a regular pool with a basketball hoop. All *super* warm. I abhor cold water, and anything under about 88 degrees qualifies, and I had a blast.  

    
   
 
And the best news of the day? FINNICK SWAM!! I was so excited, and so proud, and he was so proud of himself. It wasn’t very far, but he did it!
