The greatest fun spot you'll ever know. . . . It is fun but I don't know about the "greatest."
I'll have to post pics. when I get them from my mom.

A couple months ago I was talking to my brother about taking our kids to Lagoon and before I knew it there was a trip planned. The trip entailed camping and playing at Cherry Hill one day and then Lagoon the next day. With Darryl going out of town and me not wanting to attempt Lagoon without him we opted to just go up and spend the day with them at Cherry Hill. It was fun but there really isn't a whole lot to do there that is worth much. The slides are all great, as is the lazy river, and the 'baby' pool area with the pirate ship is fun but not superb. It was great though to spend some time with the family and cousins. Clint braved the dragon slide once and then after the smoke and the pitch black sections he was scared and done with that-- that is until Uncle Buzz with his crazy sly ways talked him into going with him. Clint tried to act all brave about it but in the end he was not about to go down that slide again. Kade, on the other hand, couldn't get enough. Before he was even off the slide he was saying, "Lets go again! That was TOTALLY AWESOME!" He rode that slide close to a hundred times. It was so nice that the lines were short and moved quickly. Kade also loved the Cardiac Canyon slide. I couldn't watch him go down it. I thought for sure he was going to drown. They only allow one person per tube and so he was in this enormous tube in between Uncle Ron or Buzz, and Darryl. Each of them would hold onto Kade's wrist so they would form a train, hoping to prevent Kade from tipping. It didn't look fun at all. His arms looked as if they were about to get ripped off and there were a few times he was stuck under waterfalls and was about drowning. Every time I thought he'd come off the slide and not want to do it again but I was wrong. He LOVED it every time. The lazy river was Clint's favorite. Every 45 min. the river has a flood and there is water squirting, dumping, misting, and falling all over. Clint would talk about it and tell everyone about the buckets that dump on you like he loved it but while we were on the river he was so paranoid that the buckets were going to dump on him. He's such a funny kid. Both the boys opted out of naps for more fun which was fine because they were both happy-- until they were starving then it was down hill from there. Once their tummies were full then they were ready for bed so we loaded up and headed for Heber. Lisa, Buzz, and Mom & Dad stayed and camped in their trailers. It was a good thing we went home because Clint had some kind of bug and from 2 AM to 1 PM the next day he threw up. It was a long terrible night after a long fabulous day.

Sounds like fun, minus the getting sick at the end and the few scary times. I haven't been to Cherry Hill in over 25 years. We use to live in Farmington, glad to know it isn't the "greatest" fun park you'll ever know.

The kids had fun...I guess that's all that really matters.
