After we left ON we headed to Detroit to spend the night as Mark had a very early plane to catch the next day. After we all got up a ready we headed off to Indiana to meet up with Sam and Family, I've already blogged about that so scroll down if you haven't already read it. Then we headed off to Noah's Ark, America's largest water slide park! We got there too early to check in so the kids got to play on the playground at the hotel, then we changed them and went into their splash area and pool. Look at Kai, that boy always has a stick. After we were done playing we went to Paul Bunyan's to eat. It is a favorite of ours from the first time we went to The Dells. The kids seemed to enjoy it too. It's made up like a lumberjack camp and the food is brought to you family style. There isn't a choice on the menu, it's fried chicken, veggie, salad, bread and dessert. It didn't disapoint it was awesome.
Finally, a good nights sleep, hearty breakfast and off to Noah's Ark we go!! Nicole and Kevin went straight to the Anaconda Ride, it's a water roller coaster. Kevin loved it, thanks Nicole for going with him.
After they got off that one Kevin spotted this one right next to it and he grabbed a mat and off he went. That boy has NO fear. Heather see the one next to it (the beige one) that's the family tube ride that Michael didn't like. We kept getting airborne.
Grandpa keeping an eye on the little ones while we wait for Coley and Uncle Kevin (I was keeping an eye too it was just through the lens).
Michael waiting to go on the river ride, it was one of his favorites.
Isa with life jacket waiting to go back in the wave pool. She seemed to like it, but it really bounced her around, even when being held on to!
Kai at the wave pool, this is about as far as he wanted to go.
Kevin in front of the wave pool. At the shallow in they an area where it goes into a small pool. This allowed the little ones to be able to play in it a little easier, you just had to watch out as not to get pushed into walls! But if you did loose grip on a little one they would have been easy to grab back onto.
The little slides for the littler riders, even had a life guard to catch them at the bottom. Michael liked these a lot and did them several times. Isa did it a couple of times, she was so small though that she easily flipped around and didn't like that so that was the end of it for her. If you click on the pictures they enlarge for you and I did get her flipped around on the right bottom picture.
The kids in one of the splash areas. Kai really liked the swing, it was fun to drag his feet in the water.
I think we all enjoyed the river ride. At one point Calvin let Kevin go on it alone (we had been giving him some Independence). The first time he went on his own he did great came back to were we where sitting very pleased with himself. Then there were some medium sized water slides that ended by where we sat and we let him do those on his own also. I'd gone on the river ride with Michael and when we got off Cal asked if we'd seen Kevin? I said nope, we figured he'd just come on around in a few minutes. Well a few minutes turned into 15. We started kind of looking for him but he was no where to be seen. Cal decided to go look on one of the rides a little further up, Kevin had been told we were not about to wait an hour to go on. Sure enough the guy at the top said oh yeah, he's been here and went down already. On Cal's way down there was Kevin going back up to do it again. Our little boy is growing up.
There was so much to do at Noah's Ark, but so little if you're Isa and Kai. Calvin and Kevin headed off to do the Sponge Bob Dive Inn and we took the little ones back to the hotel to play at their splash park. The kids enjoyed it as much and no crowds so the adults could relax a little bit.

Have I mentioned how much fun this trip has been? There have been some rough spots, but all in all a good trip. We were happy that Nicoleand her two could join us. Thank you Heather and Brian for letting us take Michael on our adventure. Stay tuned there is a few more posts to come before we "get home".
