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, R 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.Palawan, Camsur 2011I 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!Palawan, Camsur 2011We checked out the available facilities and fees and went on to get our life jacketsPalawan, Camsur 2011and was happy to know they had jackets for everyone, even the little girlPalawan, Camsur 2011Off we go....Palawan, Camsur 2011We 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 contestantsPalawan, Camsur 2011We quickly gave up on that one and swam to what also looked like funPalawan, Camsur 2011the 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...Palawan, Camsur 2011If you were more than 60 pounds though, that's another story....Palawan, Camsur 2011There were two inflatable icebergs and Gary thought he would climb one...Palawan, Camsur 2011Again, harder than it looks! Either that or we should seriously start getting fit!Palawan, Camsur 2011Gary made it to the topPalawan, Camsur 2011then slid down...Palawan, Camsur 2011R and i tried the smaller iceberg too!Palawan, Camsur 2011Then we saw these boys playing on one side of the water park...the adult guide would jump on the inflatablePalawan, Camsur 2011and the little boys would fly out...wheee!Palawan, Camsur 2011Of 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...Palawan, Camsur 2011but then the gods of projectile were not on my side that day. Immediately i looked back to check if the guy was still alive. LOLPalawan, Camsur 2011Plunk....there's my little splash:PPalawan, Camsur 2011That 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 R 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!
