Wet and Wild

The day Leakycon ended was a sad one, to be sure. To cheer up Sarah and Emily (and to give us a break from the heat), we spent Sunday afternoon at Wet 'n Wild water park. Located just down the street from us, and on our way to the convention every day, we had to check it out and see what all the fuss was about.

What a place! Towers surrounded us on all sides, but "water slides" doesn't begin to describe what this place has to offer. It has eight multi-person rides with rafts holding 2 - 6 people.

   

Four more "attractions" accommodate one person at a time, some with mats, some without.

   

There's a wave pool and a Lazy River for the less adventurous souls (or, those with hip/knee problems, like moi). I LOVED the Lazy River!

They even have a rope pull out on a lake where I watched people wake skating and knee skiing. Now, that looked like a blast!

 

A white sand beach with volleyball, a kids' play area (which we had no use for), and a Tiki-type bar (which we did!) rounded out the offerings.



Boy, did it feel good to just play in the water all day. I alternated my water play with time lazing under an umbrella with a good book - my kind of perfect day. And I had plenty of birds in the adjacent cypress tree keeping me company.

 

Larry and the girls (and their good knees) were much more  adventuresome, and covered almost everything in the park.



Pricey, but loads of fun - especially on a 90+ degree day!
