And truly, it didn't disappoint. Our kids were precisely the right ages to enjoy the park. We had a park map before hand, so we knew we wanted to hit Buccaneer Island. (Coop even wore his pirate costume!) Turns out, it was a giant butler building with all sorts of pirate-themed things to do inside. And tables for the grown-ups to sit and enjoy a Diet Coke!
First up, Cooper and Jack in Captain Hook's Clockwork Wheel:
Sitting in the front row of Lost Boys Stormy Sloop:
Taking a pirate break to play in the cars/houses area:
We also visited the Labyrinth Venture Zone, which was a gladiator-themed butler building with similar activities.
Outside, we found a few roller coasters (Alan and Cooper are in the third seat back):
A giant sand pit:
Some peacocks:
And a barn with farm animals, including sweet baby lambs:
We came home completely tuckered out. What a perfect way to spend a Saturday.

I have to admit, Coop in the pirate outfit coming out of a pink cottage is a pretty funny sight...he's like a pirate with a sensitive side, "Aye, matey, ye be walking the plank with ya...arrrrgggghhh....but if there be something ye need to be talking about, me all ears...arrrrrggggghhhh" (Sorry, I had to throw that last arrrrgggghhh in there because I just felt it needed to be there).
When I was a kid in Salina (among the many cities I called home as I believe my mother was some sort of gypsy...an accusation she denies to this day) there used to be a park that had one of those digger contraptions in the sandbox/sandpit/sand-whatever-they-call-it. I would play on that thing for hours at a time...that just brought out some fond memories of my childhood seeing the Coopenator digging with the digger contraption. Very cool stuff.
This all looks like it was very fun.
