Kristie and I took Daniel, Johnny, Rachel and Alec to the Toledo Zoo. We also stayed at a new Holiday Inn that has an awesome indoor water park. We had a blast!
We were very impressed with how nice this zoo was. Our favorites were: the aquarium (fabulous), watching the mama polar bear with her two young 'ens up close and the monkeys, who never cease to amaze me. How they lovingly care for one another, they are so cute and fascinating to watch.
Kristie and I weren't sure if we were going to do the whole water park thing. Once we seen the kids in action, we decided to get our suits on and go for it. So glad we did. Three hours of splashing, floating and going through the water tubes was so much fun. We were laughing so much! We climbed the four flights of stairs on the tower over and over to go down the yellow tube, which was very long and actually went outside before coming back into the building.
This big red "bowl" was at the end of the red tube. None of us were brave enough to end up swirling into the bowl before plunging into the pool...except Rachel. Big surprise. My brave girl. She loved it.
Lastly, a picture of our room...disaster! Who cared, not us.

What great fun.....hey I am so pleased to hear that both of you got into swim suits and had a ball with your children. It will be something they will cherish and remember the rest of their life.
I love the bunny rabbits at the zoo the best....hmmmmm they look familiar...cute
Reminds me of the place we stayed at in Wisconsin last year. Great fun! My kids talked me into the "toilet bowl" slide. Yikes! I only did it ONCE.
I would love to have been there with you. I can only imagine how hilarious it was. LOL Cute pics! Loved seeing them.
(Pray for me as I venture off to the Michigan Adventure Waterpark next week. I'll be screaming!)
looks like fun!!!! I think we are hitting a water park up north...Pray for Pete, he is not a fan of water, and of course I can't wait:)
Holy Toledo Tornado!! Our room was a disaster. We literally had every square inch filled with something! We did have a blast though! Thank you Gladys for getting us there and back!! Shari named my girlfriend g.p.s, Gladys. Before Gladys, she was known as Girlfriend, as I was always saying "thanks girlfriend as she tells me where to turn". I have no sense of direction and would end up in China without her!! LOL
F-U-N!
