UPDATE: I've posted the video of the boys in that "Vortex Tornado" water slide at the end of this!

This is from mid-September, it's just taken me this long to post it!  We went an hour north to "Key Lime Cove" indoor water park for Nathan's 16th bday weekend.  What a blast!  It was so good to just be relaxed, juvenile, silly, and full of non-stop smiles for the weekend!  We needed it very badly. 

Upon arrival, we had a Happy 16th Birthday dinner, first.  L to R are Nathan, dh Kevin, and Bryan

Me and Nathan...

Then into the water park!  All very Caribbean-themed!  This was more the "kiddie" area, but we had fun in it anyway!  Nathan, Bryan, and Kevin are standing on the bridge (to the right, not sure who the guy at their left is!) squirting people with water as they come out the bottom of the water slides.  There were also buckets that filled with water that you could dump on people below.  The big pineapple up top dumped its load every 15 minutes or so. 

Nathan coming down the slide...notice Dad behind the orange railing...getting ready to dump a bucket of water on Nathan...

Bryan on the "lazy river..."

We climbed these stairs a hundred times to get up to the BIG water slides and the "Vortex Tornado."

 

 This was the funniest thing...if you ever wondered what it would be like to watch a person be flushed down a toilet, this is it. I have to say, though, it was a BLAST!!!  I have a video of the boys going down it...I have to learn how to post that to YouTube, and then I'll put it in here.  In the meantime, here are photos...keep checking back for the updated one with the video! (I'll add a note at the TOP of this post.)  This is Bryan going around the "bowl" and finally being flushed down the "trap!"

 

Last, a view from above the "Vortex Tornado" to the wave pool (waves off at the moment) where the "lazy river" begins.

Thanks for stopping by...leave a note so I know you've been here, and so I can visit you, too, if I haven't already!

God Bless,
Lori
