Big Splash

This weekend we went to Big Splash - an indoor water park in French Lick with the Short family went with us and we had a great time!

The rooms were really nice and spacious. Eva really liked the chair!

The waterpark was great. Most everything was indoors, but the did have an outdoor area. If I had brought sunscreen, we probably would have spent more time outdoors on Saturday. The weather was perfect to be outdoors! Inside was temperature controlled and was just the perfect level of warmth - and the water wasn't cold - yeah! There were things to do for all different ages - I enjoyed the kiddie pool and lazy river!

You really couldn't be lazy on the lazy river because water would blast out at various places!

Nolan waiting for the bucket of water to dump on his head....
Austin showing his dunking skills....

And not to be outdone, Seth slams one in!

Seth took a turn going down the slide....

Erin and Eva have a special relationship. I wish I could take her home with me!


On Saturday night we went to the town square to find something to eat. We stopped at a pizza place and the adults decided to take advantage of the $2.25 draft beer with our pizza! Dinner was great - but the restaurant was hot - so we went to Dairy Queen to cool off. But it was the hottest DQ I have ever been in!! We had to eat our ice cream quickly before it melted!

The Short kids. Erin, Seth, Nolan and Austin.

Eva was super tired and the kids did their best to entertain her.

Erin and Nolan stayed in our room. I was glad that Eva at least slept until 7. The past few days she has been getting up at 5:30....
Reading with Nolan.

The lobby was a lot of fun for Eva. She loves to explore!
A silly rope wasn't going to keep her out!

She was out for the drive home!

Saturday Out and About

Because of cash flow issues, Gilbert and have not eaten out in FOREVER (unless someone else is buying!). So today we decided to have a late lunch/early dinner at Cheddar's - but I told Gilbert he had to drink water (do you know they charge $1.99 for coke???). We had a very nice time - not going out a lot makes you really appriciate it when you do....

Staring and waving at everyone.

She loves ice cubes.


At Target sitting like a big girl.
