 Spending the Night at Kikapu Water Park in Lagos de Moreno, Mexico

Kikapu Lagos de Moreno Mexico. Awesome water park Mexico.


After spending two months in Punta de Mita, we were on our way to Potrero Chico for some climbing before leaving Mexico. On the way, we saw a water park that offered camping for $15 per night. We decided to check it out.


My brothers and I were amazed by the gigantic water slides. Unfortunately, we soon found out that the water to the slides was turned off. My mom started making dinner, which was beans, rice, cabbage, and corn tortillas.

Kikapu water park. Creepy water park in Mexico.


Meanwhile, my brothers and I played a big game of tag throughout the entire park. I ran up water slides, jumped over picnic tables, and hid in the pirate ship while my brothers tried to find me.




After dinner, it was dark and we realized we were the only people left in the park. We were locked in the park for the night! 


We went for a walk and checked out a massive green water slide that was like a deep dark cave. While my brothers were running down the slide, my dad and I walked up to scare them. Their screams echoed through the entire town.


My mom wanted us to look at the double-story pirate ship. We couldn't help but notice that there was nothing stopping a little kid from walking right out of the completely open windows.




I climbed up the mast of the pirate ship. Before we went back to our converted school bus BaseCamp for the night.

The next morning, we swam in the thermal heated pool. It was a great way to start our day.


 My brothers, and I wanted to stay until the 10 peso (50 cents) taco stand opened. But we decided to hit the road instead. 


We had a lot of fun spending the night at Kikapu Water Park. It was a unique experience that I will always remember.

Two Eye Catching MultiPitch Climbs in Potrero Chico Mexico

  Two Eye Catching MultiPitch Climbs in Potrero Chico                                     By Kai Holloway  I looked down at the Potrero Chico Valley, and across at the stunning limestone cliffs that make up the climbing paradise of Mexico. We were at the summit of Super Nova, a classic eight pitch 5.11, water fall like rock feature. I couldn’t believe we had actually made it to the Yosemite of Mexico. This January my family of five began our climbing adventure starting in Maine, and traveling south towards the Shawangunks, and Potrero Chico. Throughout our trip south in our skoolie (converted school bus that we call BaseCamp) I had been dreaming of climbing and hiking in Potrero Chico because of its unique concentration of world class multi and single pitch sport routes. It was everything I hoped for...

  Winning the Elizabethtown Mother's Day 5K By Kai Holloway Sprinting for the finish line. (Photo taken by my grandmother Lovey) It was three o'clock, and my grandfather, whom we call Pop Pop, had signed up our whole family for the Mother's Day 5K race. My two little brothers, Zev (8) and Cove (12), my mom, dad, and I (15) were all going to be running. It was 2:55 p.m. We all had our bibs and race shirts on. We were gathered around a big oak tree, stretching, and my grandmother, whom we call Lovey, took a pre-race photo. Pre race family photo Soon afterward, all the runners were called over to the starting line to start the race at 3:00 p.m. The race director talked for a little while, and then said over his loudspeaker, "Now, let's take a moment of silence... for all the mothers out there." It was an interesting way to start a race. I stood there about two rows in from the start line, my heart poundin...

We Meet Again at Hueco Tanks                            by            Kai Stanton Holloway  I'm back," I whispered to the boulders staring down at me. Hueco Tanks has overhangs, face, and slab climbs--everything you would expect in bouldering heaven and, in my opinion, the best v2 ever.     As soon as we pulled into our campsite my brother and I couldn’t wait to get to the mountain and we both had one route in our mind. My dad, brother and I hiked up North Mountain treading on the same trail as three years before. Everything was how I remembered it. I walked past all the routes I had climbed when I was eleven. Could I still climb them now that I was fourteen?     I walked past a pile of crash pads and there in front of me was Nobody Gets Out Alive in my opinion the ...
