Frosties and Waterfalls

A treat at Wendy's--thanks to Grandma for the gift cards!
Headed down the tube slide (sideways).

The "HOT" tub!

The big pool and slides.
Nothing like spending a COLD winter day at the pool. It was crazy to be in the pool and see snow and icicles outside. We had a blast at WILD BEAR FALLS--an indoor waterpark in Gatlinburg. We went with several other families and got the group discount which made the usually over-priced paradise doable for us. The only bummer was that the air and water were kinda cold so we spent a lot of time in the hot tub warming up. In between the slide and lazy river we'd head over to the hot tub to get warm again. It was fun though and we all had "raisin fingers", blue lips, and bleached suits when we left. I think they must have over- chlorinated the pool. Our skin was pretty thrashed after swimming in the stuff for hours.

Oh, for fun! How does it compare with swimming at Green Canyon in the winter??? Glad you're making good use of the Wendy's cards. Love those happy, well-fed faces!

Looks like a blast! I have been wanting to take our kids to "H2Oasis" in Anchorage to beat the winter blahs. And we still haven't used our Wendy's cards.....Sounds like a perfect plan. I can just picture the blue lips and raisin hands:)

I think our boys would love that place. It looks like a fun adventure. Our boys used their gift cards too. They were trying to see who could get the biggest burger for the money. :)
