Ever since LTD started wearing goggles and began swimming lessons, they are wild about water. Dave and I decided to take a mini-vacation (an overnight) with the kiddos and head 35 minutes south to Owatonna to a well-known water park that was highly suggested by a dear friend of ours. It features small crowds, affordable prices (Kids Eat Free), and an overall fun time for families. We had an absolute BLAST!! Our suite featured 2 rooms; one with a king bed for 2 worn out parents and the other had bunk beds for the kiddos. The bunks were great for climbing and playing on but when it came time to actually sleeping, they much preferred to cuddle up together in their sleeping bags on the floor in the middle of the room. (note to self: SO relieved and grateful we opted to skip bunk beds for their new big kid beds at home). LTD swam hard and we basically had the entire park to ourselves the whole time we were there (Thursday night). The pool also had some big water slides that the kiddos had so much fun on - but we never got a chance to capture any of it on film (probably had something to do with having our hands full with 3 wild munchkins anxious to get to the top of the slide saying "Let's do it again, Daddy!!). We swam, sang, danced, had pillow fights, enjoyed a delicious dinner in the dining room (LTD especially loved the free ice cream), played fun games in the arcade, swam some more, and Dave and I even had time for a movie after the kiddos zonked out for the night (Silence of the Lambs - how romantic!!). We really had a nice time and look forward to going back again with some friends in the fall.
The video features a few moments leading up to and during our trip including: their new song "We're going to the water park" which they made up and sang the night before we left; time in the pool, the pillow fight, and dancing on the bed. We had to omit Taylor's dance since she has this thing about being naked - not good when sharing videos with others. Of course, she had to do the twist in the nude. Our little exhibitionist!!
