Gettin' Wet At Camelbeach

We took a day and went to Camelbeach waterpark in Tannersville. It was a little cool - definitely not a perfect scorcher day - but otherwise a beautiful day. And honestly, the kids could have cared less what the temperature was like, they just wanted to get wet.

The first place we headed was to the wave pool, which was by far the most popular place to be. Every so often the waves would stop for few minutes and then a warning siren would sound to indicate the waves were coming back on. People would scream and cheer - they honestly sounded like they were on a rollercoaster! This is where Spencer, Cassidy and Lauren wanted to spend most of their time. Personally, I don't get it. I'm more of a water slide girl myself.

Luke was happy to spend time in the kiddie area that had some cute play stuff. This little guy seemed to have a fun time just being. And it was a good place to be able to use his "outside voice."

Here are all the kids (minus the big kid, a.k.a. Rick) just hanging out for a short while.

Then, Rick and I took the bigger kids to go on some water slides. Now, this is what I call fun. We went on the red, white and green slides. The black one was the most popular and had the longest line, so we avoided that one. It was a slide that had you riding in the dark the whole way down. The other ones were still a blast, so none of us went away disappointed.

Camelbeach also has a section called Camelback, which is a ski place in the winter. You can see the ski slopes on the hill in the first picture (of the kids with the camel) - look in the background. It was kind of a bizarre sight. They had the ski lift running, so Rick and I snuck away to go up and see the sights from there. A little restaurant was located on top and had a great lookout point. Here's the view...

And here's a picture of part of the park on the way down...

And my brave guy sitting beside me - ever so willing to keep me safe at all cost...

It was a full day and we were all whooped by the time we left. We'd definitely go back. There was a lot of the park we didn't visit, mainly because some of our group - and they know who they are - wanted to hang out in the waves all day.
