Cyprus {Day 5 and Many More}

When you enter Fasouri Water Park, you truly have entered water park heaven.  Rows and rows of sunbeds, shaded by aged thatched roofs surround different pool attractions for all ages.  The speakers blare "Fasouri Water Park, the biggest and the best" while the smell of mini donuts and french fries waft through the air.  A bell rings intermittently, signaling the ceremonial dumping of the "bucket" and causing those of all ages to dash in its direction with the hopes of getting hit by its spray.

It's a place you can spend all day; and we did.  For several days during our holiday.  It's the first year that C truly found it fun - case in point...here's the look we got the first time we brought him (age: approx 8 months)


Are my parents serious right now?  I mean, really.  It is HOT and I am 8 months old and this is NOT fun for this 85 year old stuck in an infants body.

This place is a blast.
It's been a while since I've looked through these photos and I'm being dead serious when I say of the just over 50 pictures during this particular day of fun in the sun, the look on C's face is exactly the same, regardless of the activity.  Exactly.

He warmed up a bit during our next visit in 2010 (age: approx 18 months):


This place might be OK.

But 2012...this was his year.  And N's (to no ones surprise, at all -- that kid hears running water and immediately tries to rip off his shirt.)  He went for everything...the water mushroom, the lazy river, the BUCKKKEEETTTT, the water slides (!!), the fountains...

Water mushroom with Papou
Taking a break in the dolphin swing.
Heading to the water slide with dad. 
N was so overwhelmed by his options, he didn't know which way to go...

OK, so we've got the elephant slide, fountains, water mushroom, lazy river and swings this way...hmmm (oh, apologies to the random woman who photo bombed this pic.)

OR, we have the bucket, the paddle boats, and the water slides THIS way...or food.  Maybe I need food.
And for all the build up I created around the bucket...I realized I didn't take any pictures of it this year...or the other years.  Whoops.  Well, here's the stock photo from Fasouri's website:

A lot of people don't realize the force of this water will take your bathing suit right off.  Ya gotta hold on tight. 
Our next big adventure was what we affectionately call going on holiday, "on holiday", with a trip to the resort town of Protaras.  I may break up these posts  with some house updates though....yes?
