Wordy Wednesday

Last weekend we headed to Brown County with our dear amigas A and her Mommy, T, and Coici. We had a little "vacay" at the historic Abe Martin Lodge in Brown County Park. To say that we had a blast is an understatement! We arrived right at dinnertime and had a lovely buffet (Noah was FREE!!!) and then headed straight for the indoor water park. This place is GREAT for little kids--LOTS to do and small enough for parents to keep a close eye on the little ones. The pictures I took do not do this place justice. I forgot my camera (a cardinal sin), so the only pics I took were with my phone and only when we first got there. Otherwise, this mama was too busy swimming in the lazy river, racing her boys in swim races, getting "saved" by A in the little island and watching Noah go down the gi-normous water slide about ....oh...35 times!

The railing divides the zero-entry splash pool from the lazy river....

This is the water slide that Noah LOVED. Initially he went with me, but he insisted on going alone. So I strapped a life jacket (provided by the pool!) to him and off he went....the slide has a powerful current, so the kid FLEW down this slide, was tossed under water at the bottom, and as soon as he could come up for air would yell, "I wanna go again!!!"

Grab as noodle and hit the river......

After swimming for 2 hours the first night, the grown-ups got a little time in the hot tub (LOVED IT!). We all rinsed off, put on our jammies and headed for the cozy TV/DVD room and popped in a movie. We popped popcorn and had snacks, drinks and few adult beverages (A special THANK YOU to Mama T for opening beer bottles without an opener--my hero!). We crashed at 10pm.

The next morning, after breakfast in our jammies, we headed back to the water park for another 3.5 hours of non-stop fun! We concluded our little trip with a picnic in the park--hey, it was 45 BALMY degrees!!!
