I know this looks pretty tame. This is the little kids area. But to go on the other slides you needed long sleeves, long pants, and socks. When the kids told us about this place (they had gone once on a field trip while we were in meetings), we couldn't quite picture it and didn't quite believe the exaggerated '35 foot red slide that drops you straight down'. Yeah right.
This 'Adventure Land' happened to be a part of the hotel where we were staying so we went.
Oh. My. Goodness. The slides were FAST, every one. The slides were TALL, they were crazy. They looked like so much fun, and were I not prego I would have participated in all the fun. Let's break it down a little.
Sweet J helps Bella carry her carpet up the two flights of stairs to the only slide that Bella loved. I still thought she quite brave to go it all alone, but she did, a hundred times.
look at those curls.
Sophia took Tobin on the same slide. He loved it too, then all the kids (many families came) took turns with him on the slide. They had fun asking: 'Tobin do you want to go with me?'
Still they loved the baby slides too.
Let me introduce you to 'Big Red'. This slide is indeed super tall, super steep, and not for the faint of heart. Sophia, therefore hopped right up there and went right down. She is not faint of heart, this girl. In the pic it does not look as intimidating as it is in real life. For perspective, many of the adults took many many tries before mustering the courage to take the plunge.
No sweat mommy, it is so much fun!
Daddy tries the lower one (but still tall and steep, by lower, I mean by about 2.5 feet than the tall one).
Go daddy!
Then he was ready for 'big red' and never looked back.
Here is more perspective. From the top.
Side view of the grade: pretty much straight down until near the ground.
On the other slide, Bella keeps on going.
Then David takes Tobin on the blue slide, which was big and with big hills that you could catch some air on, if you tried. Tobin is turned here on his side. A day later we discovered a little burn on his back, I am sure it was from this slide.
Bella and her carpet up the stairs again.
crazy fun...
Tobin enjoys the free ride with a friend.
Soph keeps going...
And finally Uncle J gets talked into it....David gives some pointers. And down he went.
And surprisingly no injuries occurred during this whole big 'adventure'.
