Weekend Getaway!

As of last Friday morning our weekend plans consisted of going to Chase to get info on municipal bonds and checking out the latest saving opportunities at Costco. Then Grandma P came over to visit the Ky Ky Man and let us know that she and Grandpa were going to stay at the Timber Ridge Lodge and Water Park - located in Lake Geneva, WI - Friday through Sunday and that they had two extra tickets to the indoor water park. Since Chris and I will have been married two years on the 10th, I pretty much convinced him that we needed to celebrate early, and we needed to celebrate in the water! I L.O.V.E. the water. If there's one thing I've been missing this summer, it's water. And what better way is there to spend a 100+ degree July day than in an indoor water park?! So we canceled our plans and backed our bags (well, Kyle's bags) and headed north. As we crossed the border, we realized that Wisconsin is now the second state Kyle has visited in his mere four weeks here with us. What a world traveler we have!

Timber Ridge Lodge was pretty impressive. We really enjoyed the super fast yellow water slide, as well as the slower green tube slide, the relaxing lazy river, and the indoor/outdoor hot tub. The first thing we did when we got there was take on that yellow slide. Grandpa, Chris, and I were shocked when we shot out that tube into the pool below. SOOOO fast! SOOOO dark! SOOOO exhilarating! We loved it. By the third or fourth time we went down, the slide did sort of start to pinch our backs, but it was still worth the little bit of pain. No pain, no gain, right? After some hot dogs, fries, nachos, and pink lemonade (there is just something special about pink lemonade that screams summer), Kyle, Grandpa, and Chris took a dip in the kiddo pool. How fun for the three of them! Kyle really enjoyed getting his toes wet. First time in a pool! What a big boy. Kyle and Grandma hung out while we enjoyed the outdoor pool and caught a glimpse of  Rob Johnson (the CBS news anchor who was there with his family before heading to the Dave Matthews Band concert at Alpine - or so his twitter account reported ;)).
