We're getting to the part of the summer when we realize there are still several things we haven't done yet that we had promised the kids we would do before school starts. Today we were able to cross one of those things off the list by visiting the new water park at the zoo, Zoombezi Bay. It used to be Wyandot Lake, then the zoo bought it and it was closed for an overhaul last summer. Some of it is still the same, but much of it is improved.
The kids compared it with Great Wolf Lodge, since we were there over spring break, and the vote was that Zoombezi Bay was better. It was crowded, though, and Ben and the kids had to wait an hour to go down one of the large water slides. And even though they said the slide was worth the wait, after that they didn't want to go on any of the others slides. We all enjoyed the Lazy River, and the kids also liked the kid area with small slides, water works stuff, and all sorts of other things to play on. Ben and I were able to lounge in chairs while they played there, which was nice.
By late afternoon it became overcast and cool, so we were able to get the kids to agree to go home without any complaint. We have no pictures, since we were wet most of the time there was no place to store a camera!
