we visit Cowabunga Bay

I went to Cowabunga Bay before it opened and got the inside dealio for the Sassy Scoops blog. I was so excited to see if it was as fun as it looked. If you haven't noticed the huge new water park off of I-15 in Draper, it is colorful and very eye catching. I knew that it was going to be extremely crowded, because it just opened this summer...but I am okay with crowds. It gives me more entertainment...I think you all know my love for people watching. It was mid 90's today, and you would have never guessed it. None of us could figure out why it was so cold once you started climbing the stairs to go on slides. Everyone had goose bumps, and was shivering. It might have had something to do with the constant water being sprayed at you by all the contraptions they have set up. I have to say that it is a little obnoxious! Not everyone likes having ice cold water sprayed in their faces. It made Van cry multiple times. =(
The things that I really did love about Cowabunga Bay was FREE life jackets, and FREE tubes for the lazy river. We spent the majority of our time on the lazy river...we tried to avoid the slides all together. As Paul and I sat there in the little wading area, I asked Paul if he thought it was worth the cost...and then we both looked at Van. Of course. Will we go back again this season? Probably not, but that doesn't mean that we don't like it.

I find that it doesn't matter what I do, I have fun because I am with the people that I love the most.

Well, I am off to soak up every last minute we have with Uncle Jackie.

Holla!

Looks like you had fun! I think of Mousetrap each time I drive pass this place.

I am glad to know this is one of those places where the icy water is constantly being splashed on you. That IS very annoying, but as long as I know in advance I can handle it! My kids are dying to go, we will just have to go on the hottest day possible.

Jenna wants to go there but I'm sure she'd freak out at the spraying water...she's such a girly girl

The last time I was at a swim park was when I was a kid in California. I'm so glad they built something like that up in Utah. It looks like so much fun! I can't wait to try it out.

so here's what I'm wondering... is it really all that big or what? Cuz from the freeway it looks like just one big tower... I guess I need to go and check it out in my spare time (haha!) maybe next summer... also, I'm not sure why you can't access my blog... hmmm... I posted pictures of my empty house so I hope you can see it soon :)

Glad for the honest review! I was wondering if we should attempt this year or wait until next. This helped me realize that we will definitely wait!
