Makutu Island or (how to wear out your kids with little or no work).


Makutu Island is one of those kids cootie pit places that are super germy and have a million kids running around and screaming. This oversized cootie pit is actually super awesome. It has all types of slides, tunnels, things to climb, zip lines and bridges. There are also lots of benches of said parents to just sit back and watch their kids run ragged for a few hours. This is mostly what I did for the 3 hours we were there. It is also big enough to have the kids drag their parents all over it. I did go down the super twisty slide numerous times. Annika and Trevor were simply dripping with sweat from so much running and sliding and climbing. The kids had a great time and of course spent alot of time asking when we are going back. Very tired kids at home now. Have to make sure not to give them sugar to pep them back up...


This had crazy slides all over it. Also and elevated mesh tube the kids could climb through to get to the Huge Tree full of other climbing options. Did I mention this is elevated 20 feet in the air?


This is the mesh tube. Not the scariest thing. There is also a bridge that is about 30 feet up over the tops of our heads. They loved that.

What a wonderful place for children. They look like there are having a great time. Best of all parents get to sit and watch.

Love to all,

That looks very cool. Great that you could relax, they could wear themselves out and everybody have fun.

I think this place wears me out much more than the kids.

Glad they had a great time....it was a good plan to wear them out, but apparently they are getting wise to that plan now. :)
