Sea Lion Aquatic Park (Lisle) – $13 for 2!

6a9956fe-ea08-4088-b584-09a7a1a5c952-600_q60-jpg $13 ($26 value) for admission for two to Sea Lion Aquatic Park in Lisle. Limit four per person, additional two as gifts. This is a great water park – it’s conveniently located, with lots of separate areas/pools for all age groups, from the zero depth baby splash pools to waterfalls and slides for the thrill-seeking teenagers. And about three lifeguards for every kid (well, it seems like that, anyway). We didn’t get passes this year ’cause we were kinda stuck doing other water-related chores, so I’ll probably grab this one – it’s cheaper than my resident rate.

In no particular order, here are a whole bunch of photos of the hot air ballons during “The Glow,” a time when they coordinate letting the flames go and heat up the air in the ballons.  Also tossed in a few other festival shots. The heat is beyond intense – marshmallows, anyone?  And chocolate-covered bacon?  ‘nuf said…
