Winter is so long and gloomy in Michigan, all the schools take a winter break the end of February so everyone can go off to warm places. Too bad we couldn't take off to Florida, but instead we went to the largest indoor water park in the country, the
KALAHARI (Sandusky, Ohio)! It was amazing! We got a suite for 12 people which we split among four families plus another family came and joined us! We stayed one night (I really wish it could have been more)but we got to swim for two days! We were able to trade babysitting so couples could go on slides together. The kids did great and kept going with no naps. The water park was first class (hot tub,slides,boarding,wave pool,kids place) and I didn't have to worry about getting burned! Home-made Cafe Rio salads and the most intense game of Bohnanza I have ever played really topped off the trip! I can't wait to do it again next year!
This is what it looked like outside:(
And here we are all toasty inside!
Charlie had a blast with his buddies!
The toilet bowl ride! You ride down with four people on a tube and it spits you into a big bowl where you spin around until you drop down to the end. I was seriously scared the first time I went on this. I went with the three other women so it was nothing but screams. There was a video taken of the guys doing this so hopefully I can track it down and post it!
Like the tube ride but your buy yourself. The scary part is you drop into 6 feet of water and it's hard to tell when your going to go down!
Matthew and Seth tired from swimming!
Matthew swinging!
The Wave Pool!
The whole gang minus Ryan and the Garns.
The Fam! The hotel was amazing!
