We are all feeling some cabin fever with all the snow of late. My dad gave me money for Christmas and Clint found this great deal close to home. The Holiday Inn Express at 131 and M6 has this indoor water park. It isn’t as big or elaborate as Great Wolf Lodge but it also wasn’t the price. Clint found a great deal the day before New Year’s Eve so we took advantage of it. The room was great- equipped with a mini-kitchen which is always awesome for us- we aren’t big fans of fast food. Abbi said the big water slide was “coolio” which I think means she liked it. Clint and I both went down it and it was pretty cool. Cae liked the little kid section. Our only complaint was the water was a little cold. The first life guard didn’t mind if we kept dunking the kids in the hot tub to warm them up any time their lips started to turn blue. We went to the room to eat, came back, a second life guard was on duty, and said the kids couldn’t be in the hot tub at all. We then used the shower to warm up but it wasn’t the same. We had swam most of the day at that point any way so it was okay but really the water is a bit cold. They have birthday party packages and I am trying to decide if we would care if the water was a tad chilly in June for Abbi’s birthday. What you want for swimming in January doesn't necessarily apply in the summer. We will see. At any rate we had a good time, broke some of our cabin fever and got me some much needed humidity. Thanks dad.

Ready to go down the slide- dad is ready for the catch.
“Abbi – this seemed like a good idea”
“Okay it was a good idea! Let’s do it again!”
Mommy takes a turn
“Can I do the slide again?”
Such a lovely tongue. We are going through the tongue sticking out phase- yes dad I know it is coming back to haunt me.

My bets are on Abbi.
Home away from home.
