Family fun at the Lodge

Since all my siblings and their families were going to be in town we decided to finally use our gift cards for the Lodge at Cedar Creek. First we stopped at Becky's house to have sandwiches for lunch. Then we tried to check in early but the only room available was Mom & Dads so we just put all our stuff in there. Then, we all changed and headed to the waterpark. It's so nice there because they have a big part that is just for the little kids so it's shallow and has toys like a teeter-totter, a boat, small waterslides, and a big sprayer. They also have a few big waterslides, a basketball pool, and a lazy river. There is also an area where there is water flying around everywhere and a big bucket drops every so many minutes and if you are standing under it it almost knocks you over. Every time Lily would hear the alarm for it she'd stop what she was doing and run in view of the bucket and then sit down just far enough away where she wouldn't get wet. For dinner we ordered a bunch of $5 pizzas from Dominoes which really hit the spot. Then it was back to the waterpark until they closed. The next morning we got up really early to take some family photos (which I hope to get soon then I'll post them here) Then we went to their breakfast buffet which was good but we had terrible service. Then, we swam for about another hour and then came back home. Once everyone got back to Mom & Dad's we had a nice family cookout. It was a good time and it was so nice to have everyone together.
