When the Weather Outside is Frightful, the Waterpark is So Delightful!

This holiday weekend, it snowed in Cleveland, of course! So, we and the Chaffees decided to skip town and visit the Great Wolf Lodge in Sandusky. It has an indoor waterpark which, for those of you not living in the east, are pretty popular here.
Dean and Stetson loved playing in the little kiddie area. All Dean did was play with the little fountains, really, the whole time. They wore themselves out playing so hard that Stetson actually fell asleep in his high chair at lunch.
Dawson was his usual happy content self the whole time. He did a great job sitting in the stroller watching all the action.
Lacy, Lafe and Stetson
After a couple hours, the little boys got pretty tired and didn't want to play in the splash area anymore so everyone got to chill on the lazy river for a while (well, except for the photographer/mom).
Before we all went to bed we took the boys down to the hotel lobby and watched a little show and had story time.
Then the spoiled little cuties got to watch a movie in bed before
throwing huge fits about going to bed. But eventually, they finally fell asleep. Lacy and me rockin' it out on DDR in the arcade.
Thank you Chaffees for spending the weekend with us!

I'm so jealous! Hannah would be too, she loves swimming. Glad someone got away and enjoyed the weekend!

Wish we could have been there! Dean looks so happy! Andrew and Carter talk about going ALL THE TIME! I don't have the heart to show them your pictures. Carter even wants to move "back to Bajinya" (yes that is how he pronounces Virginia), so he can go to Great Wolf Lodge. Ahhh the memories. There is only one downfall...the plastic coverings they put on the mattresses. I never sleep there, but the rest of the time is AWESOME!

Wow! We need one of those places in Idaho, my boys would love it. Looks like a ton of fun!

So fun! I would love to take Jayna to the one here, but she is scared of the water again, big surprise! We need Dean here to show her how fun it can be.

So jealous! That sounds so much nicer than hanging out in the cold weather we've been having!
