Roadtrip...the saga continues

We made it to our ultimate destination, Cherry Hill, right at opening, 10:30.  We got a nice shady spot for our stuff and I am pretty sure we were the first ones in the lazy river. We win, we are the laziest!  It felt so good to relax and just float. The sky was blue, the temperature just right. PERFECTION!

 The reasons we love this lazy river so much are first, because its so wide. Its easy to weave in and out of the crowd.  The kids spent much time maneuvering us to empty spots so we could float more freely. Second, this is not just a lazy river. You float through an old western looking town and every 45 minutes there is a fun little program where the characters break a water main and all heck breaks lose! Water starts shooting out everywhere and its just fun!  Third, because there are so many other things to do,  such as miniature golf, water slides, pools, giant mazes and such, the river does not seem to ever be too full.  Oh, and in the middle of the river, where we choose to set up our base, there are lots of trees and grass, so its comfortable and shady, and a good third of the river is shaded as well. The children and I plan to have a home with a lazy river around it someday.  You will HAVE to come visit us!

The snow cones are one size...HUGE. And they hand you the cup full of shaved ice, which you must then take to the "flavor station" and you pump as much and as many flavors as you want. Pretty cool...and colorful!

I only floated alone while the kids went to try out the water slides.  I missed having Richard to float with.  We always enjoyed floating and talking.  But the kids were awesome when they floated with me. Their joy and enthusiasm is infectious.  Its pretty darn near impossible not to have fun with these two crazy kids! I am so blessed!

By 3 we were ready to head out. Another thing I love about my kids, they don't feel the need to prolong the fun out of a sense of missing out if they quit early. When they get tired they are done. So we are chilling at the hotel for now.  Dinner later, any bets as to whether we will find the  In-n-Out or go to Red Lobster?
