Volente Beach Waterpark

Grandma and Grandpa are in town and joined us on an adventure to Volente Beach Waterpark on Lake Travis. Austin's only water park is just 9 miles from our home and we've been waiting for a good opportunity to check it out. Today was opening day and the park was free to all, so it was the perfect time.

The best part about the park is the sandy beach along the lake with tiki umbrellas and lounge chairs. We arrived as the park opened and took our pick of the spots. The water was still a bit cold, but that didn't stop the buddies from splashing and playing, though they didn't care to get much past knee deep. We spent a good amount of time in the lake before exploring the rest of the park. Steve and Grandpa tried out one of the three water slides, only to have to walk back up because the water pressure was too low. I guess the park works out some of the kinks during "free day". The buddies both liked the pirate ship toddler area, the swimming pool, and the spray ground.

We brought our own picnic lunch, which we enjoyed under our tiki umbrella, and then headed back to the lake, which was easily our favorite part of the park. It was a great outing!
