Adventureland

We had HOT weather for our annual trip to Adventureland this year!  We were able to head down to Des Moines the night before, so enjoyed some time on the slip 'n slide and doing sparklers at Mara and Bryan's.

Because of the hot weather, we decided to spend most of our day at the water park.  First, we rode the Raging River ride and the big family waterslide.  The water park was a great way to stay cool into the afternoon!  Later on, we changed and headed back into the main park area and enjoyed some rides.  Abby was brave enough to ride on the Falling Star ride while Norah made me go on the teacups with her...ugh...

The train was our last ride of the day, and then we parted ways.  We were going to go out to dinner together, but the restaurant we wanted to go to had a long wait.  Instead, we just headed to our hotel in Ankeny and ordered pizza and everyone else headed home.
