The weather outside was frightful. Yes, we had snow for our White Christmas, but there was also a thick layer of ice under the snow from the rain that came before, and then there were frigid single-digit temperatures that came after the snow. So for a little Christmas fun, Ed and I took the girls to a waterpark for Christmas. Despite those remarkably realistic fluffy clouds you see in the picture below, this waterpark was inside where was nice and warm.
A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from the Lemon Drop Pie family to yours!
Merry Christmas! Love, Ginny and Ed

That looks like such fun! Is that a hotel right in there too? It looks like room doors which would be crazy to go outside your hotel room into a water park!
Yes, those are hotel room doors! The girls loved having our room door open right to the waterpark. However, it was pretty noisy. The noise really didn’t bother them anyway; they were so tired from swimming that they fell right to sleep that night.
Where is this place? Jude would love, love, love it! Merry Christmas Ginny!
It is a Ramada in Des Moines, Iowa. It’s not very big, but perfect for a winter’s day!
Looked like tons of fun and seriously love it! Merry Christmas right back at all of you, too!! 🙂
We had a blast! Plus, there was a poolside bar. 🙂 My husband and I splurged and had margaritas!
What a great idea….looks like fun!
Happy New Year, praying your year will be fabulous.
Thank you, Debby! I hope you have a blessed New Year as well!
That looks so fun! Sounds like a great idea to release some energy.
Swimming always wears out the girls…in a good way! And running up the stairs to the top of the water slides is good exercise for me and Ed, too. 😉
How cool! We’re only a couple hours from the Wisconsin Dells, where indoor water parks abound, but we’re waiting until the kid is just a bit older to take him. This makes me want to take him sooner though!
The waterparks in the Dells are amazing! We went there once, but my youngest was a little overwhelmed by it all and was scared of the buckets that dumped over when they were full. It’s a good idea to wait until your little one is bigger!
It looks like a fantastic waterpark. Can’t remember the last time I went to one. Unless you count the outdoors here! Rain from all sides and an occasional gust of wind that will try to push you into a large pool (ie the sea). Great fun!
That rain does sound like a waterpark, but somehow it still doesn’t sound fun! I hope you are staying dry!
Merry Christmas to you too! Looks like it was a load of fun, and the idea itself is so brilliant during the cold days we’re having. ~Catherine
It was like a sauna by the pool! It was fun to pretend that it wasn’t winter outside!
Merry Christmas! Looks like fun to me! 🙂
We did have a lot of fun! It was nice to do something special for our winter break. Merry Christmas, Jennifer!
I bet that must have been for a fun time for your kids. I could use a little sunshine and warmth myself right about now!
A little warm sunshine would be nice, wouldn’t it? 😉
You have taken Merry Christmas to a new kind of merry! Looks like great fun!
Looks like so much fun!
We have a water park hotel near here…. I am going to have to look into taking the kids sometime. I’m betting my adventurous daughter would love it!
Hope you have a wonderful 2014!
