Mt: Olympus Day 1 & 2

Zeb's first ride was on Poseidon It is a neat track lots of circles, and goes 'under water'. Zeb got to ride with Duner for a lot of the Go Karts.

These bumper boats were the SLOWEST things one earth. It was not a ride to go on if you were looking to get wet. Brock was trying his best here... He is in the #2 boat.


Reece got to try his luck at the batting cages. I missed most of this because I was watching this...

Zeb got to actually DRIVE HIS OWN CAR! He was super duper excited. He loved it!

He was so fast it was hard to get a nice picture of him. They have 2 tracks that he was able to ride on by himself~ I was able to get the first one because he hadn't moved yet. (He is the 2nd from last in this picture.)

Zooom! There he goes!!

We went for a Dells Duck ride that was included in the park admission and it took us past an animal farm/ petting zoo. One that you can feed and pet the deer. They also had elk and some white antlered animals from some other country. (I forgot what they were called)

While Zeb rode some kiddie airplane rides, Brock and Reece volunteered to watch Zeb so Duner and I could go on the Pegasus coaster. It was all right turns, mainly, but it still had some drops that took your breath away. I tried to take Reece on it later and actually got him up to the platform, but then he chickened out as the coaster pulled in and he walked away. : (

This was the coaster I went on by myself, while Duner and the boys rode their first Go Kart ride. I am amazed anyone is able to record anything on these rides... this is crazy.

This one gave me a headache!





This was where we spent most of our time on Tuesday. We spent 11am to 2pm and 4pm to 6pm in the wave pool called Poseidon's Rage. It shoots out a 8 foot wave every 2 minutes, but it felt like every 45 seconds. Duner, Brock and Reece spent most of there time in the water about 4 to 5 feet high and let the wave push them back in. One time Duner got slammed into someone and has had a stiff neck ever since. Zeb and I hung out in the 2 ft section. He loved to run out to the end of the water and run back in as the wave would come to the shore. We put a life jacket on him, just to be safe. He loved it. A few times he scraped his elbow or knee, but he kept going for more.
This movie shows how they make the waves, it is really cool. A wave would shoot out you would hear a puff of air like a whale blowing, then screams from the crowd. EVERY TIME! Duner and the kids stayed on the front line the whole time.
***WARNING: MUSIC IS THE EXPLICIT VERSION KANYE WEST'S SONG STRONGER***



We took a break and tried out The River Troy, which is like a lazy river, but after 30 minutes the kids needed some food and a break. We never did make it to the other end of the park. The kids just didn't want to leave the wave pool. But that's ok, we did a lot of rides the day before.

We all got sun kissed. We even put multiple layers of sun screen during the activities. Zeb fought me putting sunscreen on his face but you could see where I wasn't able to get too close to his eyes and on his for head.
We had to take a break (Zeb and I) and he rode the kiddie coaster!! He even put his arm up a few times during the rides! It was great~!

Well, We came home and settled in for the night. The kids had a BLAST. We even did some mini golf, and GUESS WHO GOT A HOLE IN ONE!! I just love that, especially since it happened just as Duner was telling me I was doing it WRONG!!! Ha! Gotta love it!

Definitely in the plans for next summer! The kids are already talking about it!

It was picture day for Reece and Brock today, so they have some color to their photos. Opps!
