WipeOut at Camsur

Sept 2011- We had a Sunday event in Naga City and the little one tagged along with us again. Yes the boys are getting harder to drag with us on mom and dad’s trips:( After much travelling these last months, thanks to our FlyPinas tickets, our eldest already said “Can we stop travelling please?” Aww travel burnout already? That’s something I never thought could exist, well not for me at least!

So the boys stayed home with their Lola babysitting them (Thanks Mom!) while Gary, Reese and I went on our own adventure. The Monday after our event in Naga City, we took a 30 minute ride to CWC and checked out the Camsur Waterpark Complex. With our Creative Juice team running the Camsur Marathon that early morning, we wanted to see this world-class wakeboarding complex since we have never been there before.

I had no plans of trying out wakeboarding (I didn’t bring the gear i.e. strong arms and sheer guts), but wanted to check out the giant inflatables on water that I heard our kids would enjoy. So when we got to CWC after a 30 minute ride from Naga City, we saw the man-made lake, set up with giant inflatables and we knew we were in for some serious fun!

We checked out the available facilities and fees and went on to get our life jackets

and was happy to know they had jackets for everyone, even the little girl

Off we go….

We first tried out the inflatable obstacle course. This was totally harder to go on than it looked. I now have a new-found respect for Wipe-out contestants

We quickly gave up on that one and swam to what also looked like fun

the trampoline on water. It was hard to get some height but i guess if you weigh around 60 pounds that shouldn’t be a problem…

If you were more than 60 pounds though, that’s another story….

There were two inflatable icebergs and Gary thought he would climb one…

Again, harder than it looks! Either that or we should seriously start getting fit!

Gary made it to the top

then slid down…

Reese and i tried the smaller iceberg too!

Then we saw these boys playing on one side of the water park…the adult guide would jump on the inflatable

and the little boys would fly out…wheee!

Of course I convinced the guy to let me try! So he jumps as high as he could, and with perfect precision, lands on the target…

but then the gods of projectile were not on my side that day. Immediately i looked back to check if the guy was still alive. LOL

Plunk….there’s my little splash:P

That was fun afternoon at CWC! Though as parents, 2/3 of our hearts were left in Manila and we kept wishing the whole time our boys were with us. Even Reese kept saying she wants to go back with her Kuyas.  Perhaps we can go back someday soon with everyone in tow. For now, Gary and I need to get into the program lest we plan to get “wiped out” again!
