Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre

This is Mike contributing for the first time to the blog. Expect poor grammar and misspellings. Daniel, Molly and I went to the Sydney Olympic Park where they held the 2000 Summer Olympics. There were a lot of things to see including the Olympic Stadium, the Olympic Aquatic Centre, the Archery area, the tennis facility, .... In the end, we spent the entire day at the Aquatic Center. On one end was the platform diving with its own pool area. Molly said that even Emma would not go off the 10m platform. Daniel said Emma would definitely do the 5m and maybe the 8m. The diving area had lessons/coaching going on so I was unable to show my world famous cannonball form. Instead, we spent our time in the waterpark area where Daniel and Molly really liked the rapid river below. The jets on the sides pushed everyone thru the river very quickly so it was quite fun.
In the Olympic size pool they had this blowup obstacle course that Molly and Daniel did twice. The first time, Daniel got all the way thru it. Molly and I went together and Molly made it thru as well. She really only needed help reaching the rope to swing across the water. The second time thru, Molly and Daniel went together. Daniel was able to reach the rope for Molly but was unable to push her hard enough to get her to swing far enough to get over the water. In the end, both Daniel and Molly did not get thru the rope part and landed in the pool. The picture below is Molly in the water - right after falling. It was so fun that we are thinking of heading back on Monday with Charlie. That should be interesting.
