This last week was Ryan's spring break so we decided to go somewhere fun. My friend Ali told us about this great deal for an indoor water park in Queensbury, NY. It was $100 per night for both the hotel and water park. We went for a few days, hanging out with the Pilgrims for a morning before they left, and had a blast. It was so nice to have the hotel and water park connected, because Ryan could take the older boys to the park while I stayed to feed Landon and let him nap. I would join up with them later, we played, and then had nap time. How easy is that? As awesome as that is, the best part was the fact that the boys loved it. Carter is a stinkin' little daredevil. Besides the two slides he wasn't allowed to go down, he went down all of the other slides by himself. He would then wait at the bottom until Ryan or I followed after, so that we'd run into him and splash him. Josh liked the slides too, but he preferred the strategic move of hanging out at the spots where he could shoot water at us when we were coming off of the slides.
Josh showing us how excited he was to be at the water park. I'd say pretty excited.
Honestly, getting a posed picture is impossible!
Carter watching a movie on the ipod. I love his squished cheeks.
Me, Carter, baby Landon, Ali, and Cora watching the others play in the kiddie pool. Ali was so nice to sit with Landon while both Ryan and I played with the older boys for a bit.
Josh loved it when we'd wait "unsuspectingly" at the bottom and get splashed by him. He thought it was hilarious even after the 50th splash.
See that big green slide on the left? There's a blue one on the other side. Carter went down both of those. (So did Josh). It was so cute to see his little legs spread out as he slid down. When I asked the life guard if Carter could go down, he said, "Sure, but most kids end up crying at the bottom." I told him Carter wasn't like most kids (I'm sure he's never heard that before!) and we watched at the bottom: my little daredevil was laughing!
This slide was the best for Carter. Quick access and not a lot of traffic.
And here we go trying to get a cute picture of the boys...
Here Landon, eat this...
What, you want to see them too?
Okay boys, out of the picture!
All of us in the lobby. It was a gorgeous place.
Josh is totally getting that huge bear.
Carter loved to play with those water fountains. He'd get drenched in the face, but he wasn't too worried about it.
And here's our picture in front of Carlo's bakery, from the TV show "Cake Boss". It's in Hoboken, NJ which was on the way home. We just happened to be there on St. Patrick's Day, so that plus the popularity of the place made the wait in line 2.5 hours! Needless to say, all we got from the place was a picture.

We have a place like that here too, I think it's called Great Wolf Lodge, maybe we'll have to go there, looks like you guys had fun.
(I wrote you back on my blog, I wasn't sure you would see it if I didn't tell you.)
Next time you are in Hoboken let us know! The entire town is only a mile square. We would love to see you guys.
