Nooooo - the splashing park is closed for the season....I gathered that their plans to cool off in the middle of this late summer heatwave at the local outdoor pool had been derailed by a pre-Labor Day closure. However, at that moment I also remembered that Albaniana had mentioned a planned trip to Zoom Flume water park that day - so a plan was born to take a day off, follow in their footsteps* and cool off on a very hot day with the whole family in the Catskills.
Aargh
And today, that's just what we did:
Pictured (clockwise from bottom left):
- Relaxing in the wave pool
- Exile #3 splashing out of the Mighty Anaconda flume.
- All of us except Exile #2 taking a final ride down the Wild River (we had all ridden together on four previous occasions.
- Waiting for the waves (they run about half the time) - Every time I looked at the clock I saw "Wash Cycle"!
- The sun going down in the Catskills - and a weary-looking lifeguard.
- Ready to ride!
- The Canyon Plunge - the only ride that Exile #3 did not conquer. I did. Twice. It's very steep!
- A huge amount of other fun including some surprising acts of fearlessness from the whole party.
* UPDATE: Also (unconsciously) in their punning footsteps. Sorry and thanks!
