Our weekend

We had such a fun family weekend!! The kids are exhausted and well so are we!! I cannot believe we are having another snow storm where everything is cancelled. Amazing! However this time I am super glad that my sweet husband is home safe and sound!!

I would tell that I am downloading all of his wonderful Haiti pictures!! However he took NONE!! Yes that is right ZERO!! So when others start to download their pictures I will be borrowing a bunch! I know this is his 5th trip and he didn't want to take the same pictures over and over. However I would have like a few!! :)
That is what happens when you are married to the Team leader!!


We did take a few pictures and a video of our time at Splash Universe so I will be adding those to this post.

To start out Nathan's flight finally arrived at 2:40 pm on Thursday. Immiedately after we drove over to Dundee, Michigan to our hotel. It was a holiday inn express that was right next to Cabela's. It was a beautiful hotel and the waterpark is hooked right too it. For those of you that have been to Great wolf lodge it is about 1/2 half the size of it. It was perfect. The kids had a blast. It had 2 big slides, 3 smaller sides in the fort, a kiddie pool, a nice lazy river and then it had a famil spa that was just off of the lazy river where the kids had fun swimming around. This spa wasn't not a hot one. There was a hot tub just for adults and that was wonderful for just a little haven away while the kids were having a blast on the slides. All of the kids could go on the slides without us having to go with them so they had a ton of fun and didn't have to wait for a parent.


This was our living area







Four of the kids slept here. They also had their own TV!! It was like having their own room!







We had our own seperate room.

I have a video too that I will work on uploading.

That looks like a blast! I'm so glad you guys were still able to go after all of the flight issues. I'm thinking we need to take a home group trip there sometime!! :)

It looks like a ton of fun! I've seen the hotel, but I've never been there....along with what Tammy said, if you need a babysitter ;)

It looks like a great family place!

I'm so glad you had a good time. I think the smaller place might be even nicer than the overwhelming bigger parks.
Nice too that you have a whole day to do nothing but relax!

Looks like fun! Maybe we'll have to try that one! I know Steve would love being near Cabela's!

What a fun time - especially with the sub zero weather we're having! Glad your hubby made it home safe and sound.
