Water Park Fun in the Winter

**Now that winter is officially over here (ahem) I guess it is time to share a few photos of our February trip to a little water park in Wisconsin.**


This outing took place at the Country Springs Hotel, Water Park, & Conference Center. It was a bit longer drive than I like to attend field trips, but since it was the dead of winter I figured we could use a little "warm weather fun."  Since we went in the morning through early afternoon there weren't a whole lot of people there. (A perk of homeschooling!) This hotel's water park didn't come close to Hawai'ian Waters on Oahu, but what really could!? LOL 

As it was, we both enjoyed ourselves. I went down the slides a few times with DD. She went down pretty much all day, when she wasn't swimming in the "pool" or splashing and climbing around on the equipment. My favorite part was relaxing in the hot tub (until it was invaded by other folks and their swimming kiddos) and sitting around the table talking to other homeschool moms.

 Lunch was pricey but that is to be expected at places that "hold you hostage" at meal time and don't allow you to bring your own. LOL Heck, I even splurged and got DD a little cup of Dippin' Dots towards the end of the stay at the water park.

Here are just a few photos from that day...

This photos shows a good overview of the majority of the room of the water park.
Here DD is stepping on a "fountain hole" making other holes
shoot out water higher.


Here she is making her way across on the "monkey bars." By the end of the day she'd
mastered the use of the floating (and VERY wiggly) boxes.


Floating under a little waterfall in the "lazy" river.


After enjoying the day we showered, dried off, changed and headed on home. We sure slept well that night!
