Lucy's Daytona Lagoon Incident

To celebrate the first day of summer home with the kids, I decided to use our Daytona Lagoon passes.  We invited Erin and Elizabeth to join us.   Finn was a bit skeptical of the kid area, especially after he and I got dumped on by the water gush! I followed the big girls around and we all went on the Lazy River.  I kept making a point of keeping a close eye on Lucy because she was trying to keep up with the big girls, especially on the water slides, and its always hard to have 3 kids, someone is usually left out.  So we went to the wave pool and the girls were playing on a double raft.  I saw that Delaney and Elizabeth were headed out to the deep end as the waves started in a doouble tube.  i noticed Lucy trying to make her way out to them, but struggling to get into a single tube.  She was getting deeper and deeper, so I asked Erin to keep an eye on Finn as I walked out to bring her into shallower water.  As I'm walking to Lucy with my eyes on her, all of a sudden I hear the whistles and see a lifeguard jump in to rescue Lucy!!! I am immediately there, knowing Lucy was really ok, but Lucy started to cry, then I started to cry!  She was so scared! I think the rescueing really freaked her out!  She did say that she was in water that was too deep, but I think the worst part was that she was trying to get into a tube so it looked like she was struggling to tay afloat.  So I carried Lucy out of the water, then had to meet wiht the manager.  We called it a day after that, but it was really scary.  I knew she was ok, but it was still so "official" and I hated seeing Lucy get so nervous!  We won't be going in the Wave Pool when the waves are going for a while!
