Water Parks and Tour of Utah Fun

We had a crazy fun weekend!! Mommy decided we needed to cross off one more thing on a summer to do list and that was going to a water park. (She debated for a long time whether that also included an amusement park, meaning we would go to Lagoon.) She finally decided on going to Seven Peaks, SLC formerly known as Raging Waters because she got a killer deal on ksl.com for two adult admissions, two tubes, two meal vouchers (with drinks!) and free parking all for $40. Basically a two for one type thing! So up we headed on Thursday night after work.

Before we went to the water park, we snuck in a quick trip to the zoo early in the morning with Aunt Rachel and cousins. (Hey the zoo opens at 9 am and the water park were losers and didn't open until 11 am!) That was fun but this time it felt like all the animals were hiding or their cages were being cleaned...boo! Anyway, we finished Friday out on a high note with the water park! We were so lucky because Oma came with us which was good because turns out she doesn't have to pay because she's such an awesome Grandma!



She even did water slides with us. She went down a couple with me and even one BIG one with Daddy and the tube!




However, Mommy was the craziest...she went down the two REALLY big slides. She didn't quite make it up and over the second hump on the the yellow one and had to go down backwards and crawl out of the middle!



Although I REALLY loved the water slides too. The water was a little cold sometimes but I still went down this red slide over and over even though every time I came out the bottom like this:



So much fun. We went to the zoo every day we were there actually. And so here is one picture from the zoo as a representation and mostly to show off Cara's cute new hairstyle. (Mommy says quick shout out to her friend Iva who always does this cute hairstyle with her little girls.)



And of course Daddy will tell you that the real reason we went up to SLC this weekend was to watch one of the stages of The Tour of Utah. It was really incredible to sit and watch these cyclists fly by. Daddy actually went up next to The Capitol Building where they would be going slower. We'll try and post a video here that will show A. How cute Cara and Emma are and B. How dang fast these bikers were going!
