Summer Vacation 2013 - Monday + Tuesday

On Monday we decided to head Northeast and visit Six Gun City. Joe had many fond memories of Six Gun City from his childhood. His newest memory will be of us pulling into the parking lot and being the 3rd car. Yes, the 3rd car in the lot. At 10AM. If I have to spell it out....it looks like this "Closed...forever"

Not a bunch of quitters, we jumped back on the highway and headed for Santa's Village. We rode on the carousel, the Humbug ride (Jason's favorite), the cars, the FireFighter ride (10 times in a row) and the Rudolph roller coaster (7 times in a row).

The day was hot and we ended up eating ice cream near the water park. Jason really wanted to visit the water park so on Tuesday....back to Santa's Village and a visit to the HO HO H20 water park.
Jason in blue shorts, me next to him. See the yeti on the top left and Frosty on the top right.
In the middle is a big, brown bucket. More on that in a second.

Kevin on left in green shorts and blue swim shirt, me and Jason in green trunks on the right.
Better shot of the Yeti, the bucket and Frosty. 

Note the scary, dark skies - eventually we are asked to leave the water park as
a thunderstorm is imminent.

Remember the big brown bucket from the first picture? The entire time it fills with water and then  a bell rings warning you of what you see above. It's a huge amount of ice cold water. See Kevin in green shorts and blue swim shirt waiting for it? The boys loved it.

Jason having a great time.
