Splish Splashin Weekend

This last weekend we went to Kellogg Idaho with some friends and stayed at the Morning Star Condos. With each nightly purchase you get free passes into their new indoor water park. We went with two other couples - Beth and Wes, along with Ben and Kim. The room only came with 4 indoor water passes, so we shared the passes with Ben and Kim. They went on Friday, and Joel and I used them on Saturday. But all and all, it was just nice to get away for a night and spend time with some of our closest friends.

Friday night we made dinner and played some games and watched a movie.
And then on Saturday we got on our bathing suits and hit the water park with Beth and Wes.

The water park was very family oriented and had tons to do for children. We would love to go back with our own kids someday. But there was also quite a bit to do for older kids and grown-ups. They have a thing called the surf runner that you can surf or body board on. I chose just to body board due to everyone having sore necks from wiping out the day before we got there. Here are some pictures of Joel and Wes surfing, and Beth and I body boarding.

They also had a few tube rides. The one that holds four people was extremely fast and a little scary at times because you are in a pitch black tube. Lets just say there was a lot of screaming.

It was fun to be in a warm (85 degrees) indoor water park and looking out the windows and seeing snow falling. We had a great time, and are looking forward to summer even more now.
