Impromptu Trip

Greg had a 3 days off over the weekend. When he came home from work Thursday night I asked him what he wanted to do and he said "Let's go to one of those indoor waterparks." So I spent a couple of hours on the internet looking to see what was close and what people had to say about them and the resorts. We ended up picking the closest one so we could spend the most time there and the drive wouldn't be hard on the kids or us. So I got everything taken care of on Friday and on Saturday we headed to Newark, OH to the CoCo Key Water Resort. After much research, we purchased 3 day passes and reserved lodging at a nearby Holiday Inn Express (our favorite place to stay due to low cost lodging and free delish breakfast). We got to the park around 1 and we were in the play areas about 30 minutes later. Toby went NON STOP. No kidding. He went from one thing to another. He played for 8 straight hours only stopping for about 40 minutes to dry off and eat dinner. Liliana was much more reserved. She wouldn't leave me, period. She had to be held, sitting on me, or holding my hand for the first two or so hours. Then we sat in one of those plastic outside type chairs and she fell asleep for two hours. Of course the only available chair was next to the more adult areas so I had very limited access to watching Greg and Toby have fun. She really didn't get into it until after dinner when the place had emptied out by about 75%. Then there weren't as many school aged kiddos jumping around or monopolizing the kiddie areas (that really weren't meant for them) She really enjoyed getting to hang out with her daddy and Toby and me got some play time where he throughly wore me out. We are definately going to go again. But we said we'dmost likely either go during an off peak time or during the evening hours. The lifeguards were great but there is only so much policing you can do. Parents needed to be alittle bit more involved with how there children were acting. All and all though it was a blast and the kids have slept better than they have in months cause they are SO worn out. I didn't get many pictures for loads of reasons but here are a few of the ones I did get.
