Festival Leisure Aqua Park

Last year we kept promising the boys we would take them back to the Festival Inflatable Water Park but never got around to it. Finally last week we managed to get the two boys and their friend Ethan booked in. The weather wasn't as hot as we have had lately but the water temperature was still fairly high and with wet suits on they were fine.

The Aqua Park has expanded since the boys last went with lots of new sections to play on. They have also introduced some snazzy red grip socks (like what you get when you go to Base Jump) which is supposed to help the kids get some grip on the inflatables and to protect their feet when walking on the bottom of the lake.

Unfortunately the Aqua Park is for ages 6+ and thus we had no way of sneaking Holly in, maybe next year. So Holly spent the hour playing on the sandy beach area with a few other little kids whilst we watched over the boys. An hour was certainly enough as all three of them came off absolutely knackered and certainly slept well that evening. All the boys had fun and I am looking forward to when Holly is old enough so I can take her on their as well.

Ethan, Josh and Brandon wet suited up and ready to go.

Life jackets on and ready to go.

Typical Joshua is first to make it on to the inflatables and doesn't look back to help Ethan or Brandon.

B finally makes it on to the trampoline.

Brandon loved climbing up this inflatable hill thing and bouncing / rolling down.

Holly entertained herself on the sandy beach area.

It looks like Brandon pushed Joshua off in this picture.

More pics of Holly playing in the sand.

It was funny watching Joshua trying to get to the end of the pillow so that someone could jump off the tower and fire him in to the air.

This was ambitious of B, as if his body weight was ever going to be enough to catapult Joshua in to the air.

Nope, Brandon lands and Joshua goes nowhere.

So he decides to slip in to the water himself.

The boys starting to get tired and having some chill time.

Contemplating going in to the hamster wheel.

True to form Joshua got reckless and ended up hurting his ankle and getting medial treatment from a lifeguard on his paddle board.

Holly finding throwing sand around fun.

Time is up and Brandon is first out of the water. Then decides to kick water over me.

Ethan and Josh take a slow swim back and are probably one of the last out of the water.
