Beyond Boundaries

Cheers erupt as we approach the newly built water park. Fun-filled billboards of sliding towers—Elephant Slide, Tube Slide, Dark Hole Slide, and Space Bowl Slide—add excitement to the bright afternoon.

At the swimming pool, my younger daughter hesitates to enter even after watching her sister jump in. She reluctantly touches the water and stares at us in amazement. Finally, she dares to step in.

We drive back in the late evening, both kids busy recounting the fun with their mother all through the journey.
