Vacation, first stop BIG SPLASH ADVENTURE

Our first stop on the trip to Pennsylvania was Big Splash Adventure.  It is an indoor water park with a hotel.   I think they had a lot of fun.

Nic, Megan, Alex and Adrien in the lobby at check-in time.  We were all given braclets for entry into the water park and it was also our key for the room.  It had an electronic device in it that opened the door.

The Water park.  They swam Wednesday evening and Thursday morning. It was a very nice place and we all want to go back again.  The roof is retractable and it was nice and cool in there.  We were able to let the big kids play while we took Malia back to the room when she was tired.  There were plently of life guards on duty.  And we were there during the week so it was not busy at all. 
Buccaneer Bay
Malia with her life jacket on.  Small children are required to wear one.  I worried about how she would do, but it did not bother her at all.


Malia going down the boat slide
Adrien coming off a slide.  Some of the slides you rode in a tube and some without.
Megan getting off a slide.  The kids said the yellow one was the fastest one.
Alex

Nic
Nic in the Whirl pool.  I had never seen anything like this, the water just spins around and carries the kids around.
Adrien falling off the lilly pads.....They used the rope to climb across and they all had rope burns on their hands by the time they were done.  I think they all liked this the most.
Alex climbing across

Megan walking to park
Nic with lazy river behind him.  Malia enjoyed the lazy river and they even had tubes with a bottom on them so she could sit on top of the tube.  There were alot of things along the way that sprayed you with water and she was always looking out for them.  She even laughed under the water fall.

Game room time.  This was the only upsetting time of the trip to Big Splash.  Half of the games did not work.  We also ate dinner in there and it was not the best food.
