The resort has an indoor and outdoor waterpark, when we got checked in, we sampled both. The slides there have names like - Flying Mayan, Ruby Run, Matador Mat Racers, Jungle Adventure, Durango Drop, and Python Plunge. Some of us went of some of these slides, not necessarily all of them.
Luke loved the waterslides at both the indoor and outdoor kiddie areas. The boy is a fiend, he would be content to climb up/slide down for hours. Of course, our first day there wasn't bright and sunny, but the kids still had fun.
I went down the Durango Drop (the yellow one next to the twin red slides) at the outdoor waterpark, I'm pretty sure I was pulling the lining from my swimsuit out of my keister for the rest of the trip...but it was fun.
Unfortunately, after about an hour of swimming (maybe a little more) that first night, Kieran got really cold, so we went back to the room. After we got back to the room, we realized he was running a fever, after running to the store for some medicine, we had an interesting night of little sleep.
Luke ended up running a fever the next morning as well. Swimming was really out for the one full day that we would be spending at Chula Vista. Kieran spent most of the day laying in bed sleeping, hoping he'd feel better so he could swim before we left.
The next morning, Kieran woke up feeling much better, Luke slightly better. Kieran said we needed to 'rock the slides', I'm not sure where he picked that up. We spent about four hours flying around the area, Luke and Lex spent considerably less before they got cold and hungry.
The picture below shows Mount Montezuma's Mayan Temple that has water flying in every direction and three slides. We had tried all three slides out two days earlier, so Kieran decided he was only going down the 'blue one', it was the highest. We went down tube slides, mat slides, body slides, etc. He would have kept going for the rest of the day.
At one point he realized that he was tall enough to go down the Python Plunge and was very intrigued. It was the fastest slide that I had gone down at the resort so I tried to talk him out of it, but he wouldn't listen. So I had to demonstrate how to go down the slide safely and had to go first. After Kieran came roaring down the Python Plunge, I asked if he had fun and he said "yes, but it was too fast, too crazy". We didn't go down that slide again.
About a day and a half after returning from Wisconsin, Lex spent the next day running a fever, hopefully we're done with that sickness!
