On our way back from Christmas in Ohio, John and I were talking about New Year's Eve plans. We don't really have any fun couples/families to party with. Our options here were really to get a babysitter and rock the bar scene with John's guys from work or stay home with the kids and make the most of it. Both options sounded unsatisfying to us both. Either would have been fun, but not satisfying. I suggested trying to get a room at Great Wolf Lodge (a indoor waterpark resort) and John was game, so we looked into it. The only place that had rooms available was a new waterpark resort near GWL called Kalahari Resort. We booked a room (quickly) and got John's aunt and uncle and their family to join us.
We had a BLAST! The waterpark was really fun - lots of things for everyone. Frank and Julie's kids are a bit older than each of ours and our kids were in their glory running around the place with their cousins. There was a huge arcade and kids play area. Grandma was generous enough to send along some play money for the kids to spend at the arcade and they were thrilled! (Thanks, Grandma!!) The resort also had a DJ-ed dance party for New Year's Eve and all kinds of stuff going on. It was absolutely perfect for what we wanted and... satisfying.
