While we were camping last weekend, we watched two programs on the *Travel Channel about the best *roller coasters and *waterparks in America. Chloe was mesmerized and was making a list of the roller coasters she wanted to ride and waterparks she wanted to visit. She has been talking about it non-stop. Matt and I decided that we should take her to a nearby waterpark on Saturday. I checked around and researched which waterparks in the area were best for small kids. At 43" tall, she's off limits on a lot of rides in some waterparks.
On Friday, when it was apparent that Hurricane* Bill was going to bring us lots of rain on the weekend, I altered plans to take her to a indoor waterpark. There are several in the area, most are associated with a hotel and you can only visit the waterpark if you are a hotel guest. There is however an indoor waterpark in the area that is associated with hotels and sells day passes to the general public. By Friday, the closest one to us was sold out of day passes. There was another one, just a few miles further in Connecticut, so I purchased tickets.
Chloe knew we were surprising her with something. We had told her that. We realized she's good at guessing surprises and at eavesdropping on the phone. She knew what her surprise was and she was still very excited.
We splashed and played in the water. There were only 2 slides she was too small to go on, but she took on the large body flume, with a little encouragement from Daddy. She was scared at first but kept going back for more after her first ride.
We all had fun. Chloe was tired afterwards. We stopped for dinner on the way home and she fell asleep in the restaurant!

We went to a waterpark hotel like this that my kids really enjoyed a few years ago!
