Last year was the first year we went to Utah and reserved a water slide park in Ogden. It was so fun we went again this year. We had a great time! It was a little colder then last year so our kids didn't play in the water as long. But they both enjoyed themselves. Unfortunately, there were a few mishaps and the next day Mark and I were both aching so bad it was ridiculous. While we were there I asked Mark why exactly we think it's fun to get so beat up! But somehow it is. LOTS of pictures to follow!
This is what the park looks like. Three slides meet in the middle pool. There's a really wide slide off to the right (which resulted in the worst injuries) and there are two inflatable slides, one you can't see and one in the top right corner. There's also a kiddie area with park toys behind the overhang. It's a GREAT park and we end up paying less then admission by all chipping in to reserve the whole place for ourselves.
Saydi and Steph at the kiddie area. I'm not sure who missed who more! These two spent most of the day together.
The brothers.
Saydi makes this scrunchy face about 100 times a day and I love that she's making it on the slide! She cracks me up.
Mark took the prize home for worst incident this year. And this little scenario was how it started. Note that he has a 140 lb. 14 year old on his back. Which led to him being propelled down the slide.
Which led to this massive splash. Unfortunately, after I snapped this picture Mark just kept on propelling down the slide and slid all the way down the three cement stairs at the bottom on his belly.
Everywhere that you see red on his belly turned into massive scratches and welts. This picture hardly does it justice. He and I both went down the stairs again later that day but I only got my legs a little and he got his back a little. I would say lesson learned but...
Mark and Wes. Trevor in the other slide.
Love this picture of Mark and Weston!
Mark and Jakob
Chase, Brenon and Mark. Mark is the little round head you can barely see in the midst of all the water splashing. =)
We had a great time with family even though we practically went down and right back. The kids were extremely sleep deprived but we're just about back on track today. It's totally worth it and so fun. It's great starting traditions with my own little family. Even if they are painful ones!

So fun! What a great idea to rent out the water park...that way you don't have to deal with all the crazies. :)
That looks like so much fun!!! Except the part of getting beat up. YIKES about Mark! That sounds brutal. You were able to get some awesome pictures. The one with Saydi and Mark made me bust up. I love it when she makes that face. I'm glad you guys had fun.
