After sitting around all morning on Wednesday, almost everyone wanted to be in the water. Last year, we did Landa Park, but I think the kiddie part is too little for the boys this year and the big part is too big. Plus, it’s just a dirty experience. Thing is – it’s $3/person compared to $30/person going back to Schlitterbahn, even with afternoon prices. Despite the cost, we decided to go back to Schlitterbahn.
Mark came up with a brilliant idea – Schltterbahn should create a non-ride pass for a discounted price, say $20. This would give you access to the wave pool and lazy river, 2 of our favorite things to do with the entire family. Your pass just wouldn’t allow you access to any of the rides you have to wait in line for. It’s a great idea. I think I’m going to write a letter to them.
We had fun, but it sure is a lot of work keeping up with the kids. Gracie wants to ride all the big rides and she does a great job with them. But there’s all that waiting in line. The boys like to do the little bitty kiddie park, the medium-size slides and the wave pool and lazy river. But they’re both at that age where they don’t like to have their life jackets on and/or sit in a tube. They want to swim like big kids, but they just can’t right now. And even if they could, it’s not a great idea to let anyone but adults swim freely in those things.
Gracie got real upset with me because I wouldn’t let her swim in the swim-up bar as you enter into Surfenberg. (Which, by the way – they’re upgrading that whole entrance, putting in resorts and a few big tube rides. It’s going to be awesome. But I hear it’s ~$1,200/night at minimum.) I had told her that we could do it at the beginning of the day, but by the time we left, it was just time to go. She got so upset, she wrote me a note:
Broke my heart.
