Cariba Creek Waterpark

PKP decided to take the 3pk on a surprise day out to the Cariba Creek Waterpark at Alton Towers. Upon arrival at our destination we made our way to the changing facilities which were somewhat cramped for the 5 of us but we managed.

Once changed we made our way out to the pools – the male pks headed straight for the water as they usually due unable to contain their excitement, the female pk on the other hand dipped one foot in the water and then said “can we go home now?” Going home was not an option so PKM had to spend a good few minutes coaxing her into the water – by the time she finally got in the water the boys were busy sliding down the slides in the toddler area without a care in the world.

Once pk2 had gained a bit of confidence we made our way to the larger pool where pk2 enjoyed riding on the back of the inflatable dragon and the boys had a good swim round – pk3 loved the fact that he had a life vest on and therefore stayed afloat with no assistance from parents.

We then spent an hour or so exploring the waterpark which included climbing up lots of nets – which even the youngest 2 managed. It was then time for lunch.

After lunch PKD and pk1 went on one of the big slides – unfortunately they had to go separately down the slide and pk1 fell off his tyre part way down the slide which knocked his confidence a bit.

It took a lot of persuassion from PKM to get him to go on the other slide with her which he eventually did but this time he went on a double tyre and he really enjoyed himself. Whilst PKM and pk1 were enjoying the ride on the slide PKD was entertaining pk2 and pk3 by taking them on a cruise through the swirling rapids.

We all had a great day and were totally exhausted when we left there late in the afternoon.

When we got back home we went to pizzahut for a pizza treat!
