For the second half of the week we
should have been camping, we went to
Kalahari. This 173,000 square feet indoor waterpark was an ideal way for our pasty white family to enjoy swimming and such. We didn't have to worry about a base tan or multiple sunblock applications.

| Floating down the lazy river |
Kalahari is a hot spot for weary Ohioans in the summer, but we didn't mind the crowds too much. There was plenty of people watching to do while we stood in line for the slides. We only had to cover Jake's eyes a couple of times...
 |
| Jake thought it was sooooo funny to pull me under the waterfall. |
For the most part we tried to stick together. It was more fun that way. We found that our favorite water slides were the onew we could ride with all four of us together. "The Family Flush" is what we called it.
 |
| Our trips down the lazy river weren't that relaxing with Jake around. |
The boys tried surfing, while Em and I watched from sidelines. (Rushing water and swimsuit tops don't mix). We all enjoyed the gentle bobbing of the wave pool though.
 |
| Don't drink the water! |
Not an hour after we all left the wave pool, the lifeguards evacuated it. The reason: poo. Needless to say, we didn't go back after we watched some poor employee going after the offending floater.
 |
| You've gotta look out for hippos around that place too! |
The next day, we tried some of the outdoor activities at the resort. We were so proud of our acrophobic Emma when she tried the ropes course. She found she really liked the zip lines that zigzagged across the park.
 |
| No fear! |
 |
| On top of the world! |
We skipped the rock climbing wall because we were tired, but on the way out Emma stopped at the petting zoo. Fortunately, we didn't take any extra animals home with us.

Now we know where to go in the wintertime when we're sick of all the snow - Kalahari!
