Our second trip during Spring Break 2011 included a trip to Sahara Sam's - an indoor water park in West Berlin, NJ. Everyone had a blast. I had tickets leftover from December of 2009 - so the trip was free (I like free). I had to sign waivers so the kids could ride the "flow rider" - sorta like an indoor way to surf. Of course, since we're just at the beginning of the long course swim season, I reasoned with them that they could learn to boogie board on the flow rider, but no standing - there is no real need for broken bones this season, right?
They took quite a few spills before they figured out what they were doing. There were a couple of older dudes there that obviously spent way too much time at the water park - they were able to do all types of tricks, but each session always ended with them wiping out (the wipe outs amused me for most of the afternoon - people would get thrown up the wall of water, and stand up trying to pull their swim suits up at the same time. I saw one bloody nose, but that seemed to be the extent of injuries the entire afternoon. I'm happy to say that except for a bump on the head that my oldest received - on a tube ride, not the flow rider - everyone remained injury free!)
