Lakeside Inflatable AquaPark

And just like that half term is nearly over, but at least we finally had some summer weather. This has been the first half term in about a year and a half that has started to feel a bit "normal" with things starting to open up as lockdown restriction are lifted. The boys have managed to go go-karting, Holly has been to her Crafty Katie's club twice, and then Thursday the 3 kids got to try out a new inflatable AquaPark which has opened up in Lakeside.

We was really impressed with the Lakeside AquaPark which is significantly bigger than the Basildon Festival one. So much so that we decided to sign the children up for a season ticket which works out really good value, basically they have only got to use it twice and the season ticket has paid for itself. So guess where we are off again this afternoon!

All three kids absolutely love the inflatable AquaPark and it is really nice to see them sticking together, playing and helping each other (and occasionally pushing each other in the lake!!!!). The Lakeside park has a really high jump platform which looks like a good 30ft up in the air. Both Brandon and Joshua braved the jump, but Holly chose the side slides which are still pretty high and very steep. I still wish that things like this were around when I was a kid.

Holly had a great time and an hour on the inflatables left her exhausted.

Typical Joshua cheekily pushing his brother in the lake.

Joshua managed to run across these pylons, Brandon bottled it and crawled across.

Holly taking the safe option.

Brandon being a wuss and not running across.

The AquaPark is significantly bigger than the Basildon one.
