More Pirates Cove

Here's a few more pics of our awesome trip to Pirate's Cove- I want to put them all in, but that would take forever! Here's someone flying out of the crazy waterslide that comes out of a pirate ship. This slide goes sooo fast and plays music as you go through it. At night it is all lit up in side with crazy disco lights too which makes it so fun and exciting!
Here's where the slide comes out and the rope swing you can swing across from the rock ledges or the top of the ship and jump in to the water!
Ben and Bro in Law Matt having a blast playing in the water- we missed you Chelsea!
View of the second pool which you could gradually walk in to and hang out under the tiki huts while kids played. It also had a slower kid slide to go down , and behind the slide was a secret cave with a fish tank inside. There was also an outdoor kitchen right next to the pool here with an outdoor brick oven pizza oven, BBQ, and lounge area where we would eat a lot of meals.
Kind of hard to see, but this was the living area and kitchen of our "house" . There were about 4 houses that had 3-5 bedrooms and a living area with big screen tvs and kitchens full of food. Ours was right nest to the waterslide pool so we had a lot of compnay all day long!
There were two giant teeter totters on the roof tops of two buildings. They were enormous and hard to get on, but boy what a view of Lake Mead from up there!
ARGH MATEY! Lots of fun pirates hanging around everywhere- Me and my firned Val having some fun with the scenery:)
View of the main house and pool. There was basketball at this pool, and you can see a big projector screen ont he side of the building where we watched a movie lounging in the pool one night. Some people even fell asleep in the water! There were also icee machines and an ice cream machine here for continous refreshing treats ALL DAY LONG! Yes, I did gain a few pounds while staying here, but also worked it off climbing all the stairs and getting around everywhere int he huge 20,000 square foot complex!

Here's the mast where there were a few crows nests to jump from into the water. I only made it out of the first one, but Ben jumped all the way from the top one on our last night there! Luckily I was in bed by then or I probably wouldn't have let him jump=yikes! There is also a hidden grotto behind the waterfall there. This trip was so much fun and a great way to end the summer! We also had a day in Las Vegas where we enjoyed shopping, a massage at the hotel ( thanks dear sweet hubby for the gift :), and we saw the ever popular "O" performance- really cool!! Thanks for a great mini vaca DotComSecrets!
