After three weeks of 80+ hour work weeks, I decided to surprise Mike (and Mack) with a trip to Zhender's Indoor Splash Park in Frankemuth. We all needed a chance of scenery and, with Mike having 6 days off in a row, this was just the time and place for it!
We stopped for a bite to eat before hitting the hotel. Mack was so excited about the water park, she could hardly stop bouncing! Here we are finally heading out the door:
I was itching to try out some action shots on my camera but opted to get in the water instead. We swam for 2.5 hours before we were all ready to cuddle up in jammies. After a quick rinse in the tub, Mack had the right idea:
And you can bet we were up bright and early the next day:
We wandered around down town for a few hours before the pool opened again. Just after lunch, Mike and Mack got ready for the pool and jumped in. The park was so bright and big, it was easy to float away the day on the lazy river. :
Mack tried everything ( aside from one of the bigger slides). Her favorite was the kids slide which sent her sliding into about 2 ft of water. She didn't even reach the bottom of the slide before she shouted " AGAIN!". The second day, Mike and Mack decided to try taking their tube down the largest of the slides. They climbed what seemed like a hundred flights of stairs before they finally reached to top. In Mike's words, the slide was " fast and dark".
So fast that Mike lost his glasses upon entry to the water:
A very nice life guard helped him scour the bottom of the pool to find them. There was lots of father daughter bonding time . Here are two of my favorite snaps:
