Sunday: vacation, continued

Twas another (mostly) fun filled day!

After a delicious breakfast and some mage training, the boys filled up their cups-o-candy.



Then we went to the arcade.  Joshua managed to do an amazing job on the "get the ping pong ball into a cup" and scored 1300 points.  (To put it in perspective, the super awesome jackpot was at  1500.)  They both played several fun games though.


We then defeated a goblin to get the princess' jewels back.

We went bowling with small balls.




Surprise!  Grey Bear got to go on a magic quest!  Air decided to come too.

Then came the sad part of the night.  I finally convinced Joshua to go down a water slide.  He was going to go down by himself and then I went down with him.  Well, I was too big for the slide and we crash hard at the end.  We both ended up with skinned knees and I felt so bad.  They patched up us and we rode the lazy river for a while.  Isaac and Ben did all the slides and Isaac did the lily pads.

We did a bit more magic questing because the line for the portal wasn't *too* long.  But then it wasn't working well and was being rather sensitive.  Both kids (+parent) failed it once and then Isaac and I failed again.  It is annoying to have to wait in line for something that doesn't work well.  (The portal has three different quests go to it and each person takes a total of about three minutes if things go well.  We hit the line when there were only two or three people ahead of us, but it was often seven to ten kids throughout the day.  That's a long wait.)  Oh well.  Isaac did ok.  I might have been more annoyed than he was.  I decided it's a good character building experience for him...and it sounds like for me too.

Are you at the one in traverse city? Our kids are already begging to go back, but we only did the waterpark (they don't know about all the other fun things it looks like you guys are enjoying!). Sorry to hear you got a bit hurt. Glad it wasn't worse and you could still enjoy the lazy river! Leahs favorite slides were the red and yellow body slides because there was no pool at the bottom... fun place!
