a day-out at Iceland Water Park

April 8, 2011

friends invited/sponsored me :D to join them on their journey to Iceland. A new water park located in Ras Al Khaimah, one of the emirates of the UAE, a smooth one and a half hour drive from Dubai, cruising through the Emirates Road. We left early morning to meet up with the other families and drove in a convoy of four vehicles ... and once we got there ... we were amazed with huge crowd who came by the busloads!!! i was not able to take picture of the huge crowd outside waiting to get in, with their tour leaders giving them instructions.


Kids were so eager to enter the park so inside we made our way and waited for the contact of our friend Nina, to get our tags... and while waiting .. siempre .. posing here and there ...


finally, all counted, tagged and kids started running into the park.... although Nicole has been there before, she is still so eager to get to the slides, and with her friend sarah, kian and sean, they ran to the kiddie grove for the fun... and the fun did begin !!!



the park was so huge! slides/rides for the adults are awesome - well if you are fond of such rides hehehe .. i tried one slide only with my cuz and friend - their daughters well laughing at us when they saw us about to be pushed down... waaahhhhhhhh ... ahahahahahahah .. that was the sounds you would be hearing all over the place .. riders laughing at first and when their rubbers were pushed would be shrieking at the top of their voices - mind you .. even the guys! ahahaha



but of course, the mommies and daddies and aunties did have a good time too! the park as i said is so huge --- it would be nice to go back there - well maybe after summer time :D and try the other rides ... with a different group of friends maybe? hehehe ... another friend's family is visiting next month .. hmmm !?!?!?!? hehehehehe
