We're gonna Zooma Zooma Zooma Flume!


Well in spite of the fact that Noa was up half the night (passing gas and then laughing at herself mostly) and didn't take a nap (a car ride is too much fun to miss) she had a great time in our first trip to the Zoom Flume, and even made it through dinner afterward without a major meltdown. I'm sorry we don't have more photos from the waterpark - trying to figure out how to manage, what with all the water. But if you're curious about the zoom flume water park you can check it out at: http://zoomflume.com/ It really looks like the photos. And we're staying The Country Place which is attached to the water park so we can come an go all day just by crossing a cool bridge across a gorge.

From the moment we arrived Noa realized that there was fun and water in the works. She could hear the water splashing and was signing over and over for "bath" and "drink."

Our first stop was the Wild River Ride: a giant inner tube flume - very much like a roller coaster (except that you're sitting in ice-cold water). Noa loved it and screamed happily all the way down. Then we moved onto the giant pool with all kinds of fountains and waterfalls to splash in, and wrapped up visit number one with the Lazy River Ride (pictured) and a short splash in the kiddie pool with it's in-pool water slide that shoots water in your face on the ride down.

We had about an hour to wait before dinner and so took a paddle boat out in the pond. Noa nearly fell asleep and I thought we wouldn't make it through dinner, but she managed to pull it together.

Below are couple of photos from dinner (and pre-dinner on the porch). In one of the photos you can see Noa doing the sign for "I Love You" for Daddy. Noa of course ate all her own food at dinner. It was pretty funny - they asked if she wanted any desert (ice cream) but of course she didn't. She tried a bit, but didn't like it, so while every other kid was happily eating ice cream, Noa was having her favorite desert: Beef Baby-food. Yum.
