We recently had the opportunity to help our grandson, who
reached the ripe young age of 7, celebrate his birthday with first-grade
classmates.
This year, he hosted them at the Silliman Activity Center
and Water Park in Newark, California, a modestly short drive from Fremont,
where his family resides.
The Center/Park is pretty impressive. The party itself
was held in a terrific little “classroom” with brightly painted walls, tables,
chairs and games. From moment one, the kids went wild and joined in the play
activities.
After a pizza lunch, we all headed down the hall to the
water park. All of the kids plunged into the water, joining the hundred or so
kids already there. The parents and hosts had to scramble around trying to keep
track of where the youngsters were. It wouldn’t do to have a disaster
(although, there were lots of lifeguards around keeping things from getting out
of hand).
If I said there were lots of spectacular things to do in
the water park, I wouldn’t be exaggerating. It’s amazing, with large slides, a
lazy circuitous river, spa, open lap pool, and a kid’s activity pool. We had a
special cabana area set aside on the periphery.
Better than talk … pictures!
