Beat the Heat- A Summer Saturday

There's been a huge heat wave here in the SL valley and Saturday was one of the worst. It got up to 104 degrees. I know, it could be worse, but I seriously hate the heat. I told the kids Friday night if they were good, we would go to a secret location on Saturday after football registration for Caleb. Well they were good and we set off to get out of the heat and use our Pass of all Passes once again. We hit up Seven Peaks water park in Salt Lake.

We got there for early entry and it was already packed. Apparently everyone else had the same idea. But that's ok. We managed to find a small piece of shade to drop our towels and set off for some fun. Caleb got to go on a few slides. The twins loved the kid area and we all spent one go around in the Tidal Wave pool with our tubes. We went around the lazy river a couple times and the kids loved playing in the splash pad area. Then it was back to the kid area for a little longer.

By noon the heat was really picking up, so we decided to call it an early out and head home. I didn't take the camera (for obvious reasons) and the cell phones were in a locker so sorry,  no pics.

We planned to make a stop at McDonald's or somewhere on the way home for some lunch but they were all so worn out, by the time we got close to any they were all asleep in the car, so we just continued home to have some lunch here.

After some play time and relaxing, we red-boxed a couple movies and watched Oz The Great and Powerful together until they drifted off to sleep on the couches where we let them slumber for the night. A great end to a hot Saturday.
