Pirates Cove

Day 2 of watching Rayna and Kylan was an easy day as we headed over to Jessi's, loaded the car seats and coolers and headed to Pirates Cove for the day!!  We even stopped and got some coffee to go - yum!!!

The Keppy's had already been here a couple of times so knew the ropes and what to do - which is of course stand in line so you can race in and get a picnic table!  Jessi had a Groupon to use and Jaime had already purchased online tickets for us so it was a quick trip in!!

What a cute place - I was amazed at how it catered to the little ones with several places for them to get wet, swim, play in the sand and the neatest pirate ship where there were all types of water things to do!!

Of course not long after we arrived, the kids were already hungry - we had brought plenty of food to eat!



Here's a picture of some of the spray pieces and in the background are the 2 ships and the huge bucket which after it is filled, tips over and sprays all the people standing underneath it!!

The kids loved the sandpit, complete with toys, and were having a great time there until one little boy started throwing sand at Kylan and just wouldn't stop - his mom refused to do anything - and after getting a face full of sand, Jessi pulled them out of there!!

Kenzie had a great time just swimming around in the shallow end and jumping to her mom - someone had to stay with her at all times of course but we let the boys just go their own ways and would attempt to find them about every 15 minutes if we didn't see them!!  There were LOTS of lifeguards around so it was all perfectly safe!
My favorite - the lazy river!!!  It was pretty busy most of the time and you had to wait for an inner tube but once you got one, you could float as long as you wanted to!  Here's Rayna relaxing!!
All in all it was one fun day and by the time the clouds rolled around and it started to rain, we were ready to go anyway!!  Thanks for inviting us Jessi!!!

What fun! We went to an indoor one like that the last time we went to Wisconsin - Pierce loved it. I loved the slides and the lazy river.

We sure did have a great time!! I'm so glad you got to come with us - we'll definitely have to do it again next summer!!
