Splash Park

We were invited to go to the Geneva Splash Park (I think they call it 'Spray' Park here though).

It was about an hour away. It would be hot and crowded. 

It would cost $7.00 to park (say what?!?) AND I would have to pay tolls.

I had anxiety the whole day leading up to it. 

I have developed some sort of social anxiety in my twenties. 

Everything I am invited to I stress about and come up with a hundred excuses not to go.

I didn't want to pay. I didn't want to drive. I didn't want to wear my swimsuit. I didn't want to have to stress about the kids running off. So many things running through my mind.

What is my problem? 

Is this serious? Should I see a doctor?

Well, I did end up going. I knew the girls needed some time away from the house doing something fun and new. They are not introverts like me. Yet.

The morning of I put off packing our stuff until the last minute. 

But we got in the car and we drove the long distance, and you know what? 

I enjoyed that drive. It was gorgeous.

We got a teeny bit lost. No worries. We found it.

The weather was nice (overcast, but not raining, so the crowds were small and it wasn't too hot!)

There was an adjoining park that was incredible.

Brinkley ran around like a maniac the whole time. And she was not afraid of water in her face (which has been an issue in the past).

Darcy was skeptical, but she did okay if I held her hand.

You know what else? We all had a blast! We stayed there like 5 full hours!

We certainly outstayed our good friends who invited us. And besides the wasp sting Darcy got, it was a nearly perfect day.

What was I so worried about?
