Water Park HEAVEN!
Your kids have been working hard all summer. Waking up early to mow the lawn, clean the baseboards, sell all that lemonade. What? Your kids haven’t been little summer angels? Angel or not, every kid needs a reward or maybe a summer is over BASH and I gotta say, your local water park is the place to do it! We were lucky enough to get to go to Roaring Springs and my kids were in HEAVEN!
I was a bit click happy, I know, me take too many pictures? I NEVER do that. But now you will all know what to hit first and you won’t have to read much cause the pictures tell the story!
Slides. All three of my kids LOVED the slides. My favorite we called the star wars slide. You zoom through a dark tunnel with lights flashing not knowing when the drops are coming – SWEET STUFF.
Getting up the nerve.
The mat slide was a favorite of all three kids.
The kiddie pool could have entertained them for weeks.
The boys had fun playing in the waves – as close to the beach as they are going to get this year!
The boys’ favorite slide.
The cabana was a great place to take a break, especially with a nursing baby. In the cabana’s you have your own little area with a table and chairs, a few comfortable lounge chairs, lots of shade and you even get your own waiter to order your food, keep you stocked with ice cold water, turn on your fan or pull down more shade…
so nice.
Water Park Party Inspiration
I think we may have been a bit starving and the pizza was REALLY good! I promised the kids one treat, so they picked their favorite – Dippin’ Dots.
Overall rating…
2 thumbs WAY UP!
All that fun and right next door there is more!
We came back a couple days later and played some more. The highlights:
Driving your own car.
Driving your own boat. And shooting water at your brother, and your sister, and your MOM!
Hint from experience: Do NOT wear white pants if you plan on going on this ride. Dumb.
A little mini golf.
And the highlight of my trip – Laser Tag! I am probably the only person on the planet that has not played this game. I was a first timer and I had SO much fun!!! Yelling at the boys, “Protect the base! Get that guy! Cover Me!” Fun times.
Grab the kids and take them to your local water park to soak up the last bit of summer,
you won’t be sorry!
If you live close to Boise, Roaring Springs has a different special for each day of the week…check it out here.

This pictures are amazing! What kind of camera are you using?
Missy says
Thank you! I have a canon rebel with a 50mm lens and for the slide pics I used Alison’s telephoto lens that came with the kit from Costco – it was fun to play with to get the close ups from a distance!
