So, I went searching and found Aqua Palace in Prague...rated one of the top 10 water parks in Europe...and booked us a little trip with our friends to go play in the Czech Republic for another weekend.
Aqua Palace was super cool...Giant waterpark with about 10 different slides...large wave pool, lazy river, kids play area, outdoor area (too cold to use!) and a few restaurants located inside.
We got there shortly after it opened and on a Friday so were able to take advantage of short lines and fewer people since kids were in school and it was a holiday weekend for us. It was so much fun. It was so much fun I didn't even bother trying to take my camera in with me, but I do wish now that I'd taken the time to snap a few photos for visual memories of the great time we had.
John went down a slide called the Kamikaze...bumped his elbow and had a giant goose egg on his elbow for the rest of the time at the park. It was like a mandarin orange hanging off his elbow. By the time we got home it had settled out into a bad bruise...
There was one slide that had a tube that shot you out into a funnel that you slid in circles around and around (kind of like being flushed down a toilet bowl) until you fell through the middle into a pool of water. OMGosh that was scary. I was totally unprepared for the speed that you shot out of that tube. Exhilarating, but I only did it one time...there is something about being 6 months pregnant that makes the slides only appealing for one try.
Bella was so exhausted when we finished that she couldn't even keep her eyes open while John brushed and dried her hair. It was very funny watching her nod off...poor kid nearly toppled out of the chair a few times.
John's actual birthday was on Easter Sunday. The Easter bunny brought him a bowling bag full of goodies and presents...lucky guy...
He opened his gifts that morning and then Sunday evening when we got home I whipped up the fastest cake ever and we celebrated with cake and icecream...
Happy 44th Birthday John!
