Back to the Aqua Palace

We had so much fun at the water park on Saturday that we went back again Sunday. We brought our camera but never even got it out of the locker since we were having so much fun in the water. We headed down the lazy river and made our way over to the slides. We were just as excited as the kids. I headed back to a slide I had been on the day before. It is a completely enclosed slide that is dark inside. You start down the slide into darkness but then you see a red light flashing so you can still see in front of you but once you leave the red light behind you are in complete blackness until you reach the next lighted area of stars and then back into complete darkness. It is a little disconcerting but after going on it a couple times I decided the girls could do it as long as they were sitting on our laps. The girls loved it and we went on it a coupe more times. We also tried this orange slide that has no turns but isn't that steep or long. I went first and decided Sofia could go on it too so we went down at the same time since the slide is wide enough. She loved it. After seeing Sofia do it Ali wanted to give it a try. Ali hit the water at the bottom of the slide so hard it flipped her over so that she went face first. After that we decided she definitely could not do it again. We went out to an outside kiddie area for a while to give the kids a rest from the slides. Jason and I would take turns checking out different areas while the kids played. We both went down the rapids. Jason enjoyed it much more than I did. I didn't find it much fun to get slammed into stone walls but somehow Jason found it enjoyable and went on three times! We all had a great time at the water park though. After 3 hours of playing in water we decided to head home. We played a lot and when I woke up this morning my body was sore from all the activity. I guess I was using different muscles than usual.
