Water Park of America

So, at the very last minute we decided to take a family trip to the Water Park of America on Friday. Joe had a comp day from work because he worked Memorial Day so he took Friday off and we booked a room at the Radisson in Bloomington by the Mall of America. I have to say that it was really nice to "get away" for a night! The hotel was amazing!! Our room was really big! It had a bathroom with a vanity and tub in it. Plus there was a vanity in the main hallway with a microwave and mini fridge and a long counter. There was even an extra "room" with two bunk beds in it with out a door on it. The main bedroom had a queen bed with built in night stands and a little table and lounge chair. We stuck Kaelyn's pack 'n play in the extra room and everyone slept great! Our room came with four passes to the water park that were good from 4pm Friday to 4pm Saturday. So after we checked in we ate dinner at the Split Rock Grill. It was a little spendy but super good food. Then we got changed and headed to the water park. They had a few water slides, a lazy river, a wave pool, a regular pool, and a play area for kids that didn't go above 6in deep! Kaelyn wasn't too sure what to think of it all at first, but she eventually warmed up and even went on a little slide with daddy. They had double inter tubes you could sit on for the lazy river and she really ended up liking that. There were a few spots along the way that had waterfalls coming down and she didn't like that so much. She liked sitting in the wave pool when the waves weren't coming and loved watching daddy dive into the waves!! On the lazy river there was a bridge you went under that had a bear sleeping on it and she loved to point and look at him. She discovered this wonderful toy in the play area where if you turned a big wheel it would spray water out. There was a little boy spraying his mom and she thought that was the funniest thing. So then of course we had to spray daddy which was even better!!!! We ended up having a really nice time and I think Kaelyn will enjoy the pool a lot this summer!!!!!!

Hey you guys look really good. I can't believe you're expecting again already! Did I know that? Maybe. Our second one is due in November, so by the time you reach a somewhat normal schedule, we'll be hitting the hard nights again with the newborn.

Congratulations! It is so exciting. Hope all is well. Love you guys,

Sam
