Key Lime Cove 2014

For the last 3 years, we have gone to a waterpark for a night over President's Day weekend.  It's sort of our "last hurrah" before Wally begins the baseball season.  The first two year we went to Key Lime Cove in Gurnee.  It really is just perfect for us as far as distance and what they have there.  Last year, I dropped the ball and didn't make reservations in time so we tried a different waterpark and it was a disaster!

We decided not to go this year though since we had just gone to Disney and did a beach trip in August, but then Wally won pretty big on a Super Bowl Square and he immediately went to the computer to book a night at Key Lime Cove!  What a nice Daddy to spend his winnings at a waterpark!  He admitted he was sad that we weren't going to go this year, and honestly so was I.

So...off we went!  But first we stopped at Aunt Stacey's to help celebrate her birthday with my parents! We also left Nala there overnight too!

Paige caught a nap on the way to Key Lime Cove!

Our room wasn't ready yet when we arrived so we headed straight to the water!  Obviously a waterpark isn't the best place for a camera, so I pulled my phone out a few times over the weekend for some quick pics and video!

The kids enjoyed the arcade area on Sunday morning!

We checked out and headed back for some more swimming!

Luke loved this purple slide - he is up there somewhere!

A snowstorm was on the forecast for that day and they weren't kidding!  It took us 2 hours to get to Stacey's to get Nala.  Luckily the kids slept that whole way!

But then it took us another 2 hours to get home.  Everyone was antsy at that point - even Nala!  Thank goodness for DVD players in the car!  We probably shouldn't have stayed so long at Key Lime Cove on Sunday, but the kids were loving it!

This was our best year yet at a waterpark.  It was so nice to have no diapers to worry about (obviously that won't be the case again soon!) and both kids love the water and all of the slides.  I'm so glad we didn't miss out on our fun family weekend this year!

And some video of the fun!
