Last weekend we spent a night at the Kalahari water park- our kids absolutely love this place. We actually surprised Nate when we picked him up early from school on Friday to go, so of course he was ecstatic. This place has so much to do, there's no way you could do it all in one visit. So we spent most of our time in the water park, then picked a couple of other things.
Mother and daughter... and elephant.
We love Chocolate Shoppe ice cream!
I'm not sure what draws children to sit on something that bounces around for one minute, but something about Pumba appealed to Elin, so...
At night we snuggled up and watched James and the Giant Peach.
The giant wave pool was fun and incredibly warm. I was surprised, with all the 4-story waterslides, that Nate wanted to spend most of his time in the pool. I was itching to keep going on the slides, but alas...
Nate did this like 10 times... I had to drag him away eventually.
It's hard to get good pics of the kids on waterslides. In fact, it's hard to get any good pics in a water park- it's just not the ideal place to carry a camera around.
"Cheeeeeeese!"
Nate has always been a climber, but this was his first real rock-wall experience. He liked it, but it did give him some challenges he didn't expect.
I love watching the kids try to throw a heavy ball down the lane... they become very innovative thinking of different ways to do this.
"Hmmm, I thing my next play will be..."
"Okay, Elin, it's not looking so good..."
All in all a great short-and-sweet trip... I'm sure we'll be going back again.
