Noah's Ark!

One of my favorite vacations as a child was to Wisconsin Dells - Noah's Ark. We decided that we should go with the kids. It is the hugest (not a word, I know) waterpark. I would say there is over 60 waterslides, 2 wave pools, 2 lazy rivers, several smaller kiddie pools. Well it is a lot of fun.

I picked up a brochure awhile ago and Ally has been carrying it around asking when we are going to go to Noah's Arks house. It is always hard to guess Drew's mood without a nap (he usually sleeps from 1 to 4) but he did great.


They could ride on most of the rides. Several had height requirements or only one at a time, but there were many that we could do. Both of the kids liked the wave pool with its "bumps." The lazy river was relaxing. They could only sit on our laps and hope we didn't tip over into the pool - containment :)

Slidewinders was probably their favorite. They sat on our laps and rode down. There were three decks - small, medium, and tall. Jason pushed Drew down the small slide against his wishes. Drew took it personally and wouldn't talk to Jason. Ally went on the medium deck by herself at least 500 times I think. There was another slide that she could go on by herself, but she had a hard time holding onto the mat and got stuck in the middle. Below is Jason ready to push Drew down the little slide.


For obvious reasons didn't take our digital camera in to the park, but at the end of the day I got my cell phone out and took some crappy pictures. You will have to take my word for it that they are what I say they are....

Ally (the blur) is sliding down the slide by herself!

looks like fun. trip would love it, but i don't know if he would have done the slides by himself. he is still a little nervous about the water since he goes under in our pool quite a bit (he decided he didn't like the floaties after the first day).
