Cliffs or Bust

I would say...semi bust.  So today we went to our version of Six Flags.  Now let's get serious here.  This is New Mexico and Six Flags it is not...but for a 2 year old...maybe.  We decided as a one time summer treat we would take Audrey there so she could ride all the fun kiddie rides and then go to this new super commercialized "Water Mania" or monkey place within the park.  Most of the people that work there turned 16 4.7 seconds ago and have the brain capacity of a shriveled up raisin.  We asked them if we had to buy a ride pass if we weren't going on all the rides and were just accompanying her on some and we still had to buy a full blown pass.  Needless to say, it was a bit overpriced, but Audrey had a blast on the rides.

This one had a button that would play music with a dog barking.  Audrey must have pressed it 22 times!

I didn't capture the funny picture of Elijah breaking the Baja car.  The tire hit the ground because he weighed too much.  Oops.

Um, this one is obviously not made for people over 3ft tall.  Knees in the face...yes.

Her favorite of the day...the swings!!

Only one on the ride!

Running to the next ride

Isn't she cute??

Swirly t-pot thing.  I've never liked these.  Gives me a headache, but Audrey loved it!

This ride was pretty fun, although I barely fit on it.  It drops you so your stomach falls.  This is my "okay" face.

Mommy and daughter enjoying the ride.

Going down the big tube ride.

She loved this one.

After going on this tube ride we headed over to the Water Mania.  Let me just say, that this place was CRAZY!!

Looks fun...until you add 235634654733 people.

Basically if you wanted to ride anything, good luck finding it because this is all you saw!

There were huge buckets, water squirters, poles with water holes flinging ice cold water at you.  And the only slide that Audrey could have gone down was broken.  So we left there after 5 minutes.  They will be opening up a Little Squirts area which is basically a splash pad.  There is one closer to my house for $2 for the both of us, rather than the $30 this place offered.  Maybe 10 years from now she would like this place, but we won't be going back anytime soon.  I do have to say that guest relations was really nice when we kindly asked for a refund for the water park and they refunded our whole amount.  Score!  We headed over to our usual water hang out, Corrales Pool, where Audrey could go down the slide, get wet, and kids have manners.  Overall, it was a good day...just to see Audrey smile on the rides.  She really is a daredevil.  I'm also glad Elijah could accompany us on this trip, since he doesn't often get too.
