Wintervention Weekend

Since we are saving for a big Florida trip next year we decided to take a mini vacation this year and go to the indoor water park in Lake George. We had no idea what to expect and it was truly a great time, but very strange to be putting on a bathing suit in the middle of February when it was only two degrees outside. We decided to ask The Voss' who jumped at the chance for a wintervention, but in true Voss fashion had a major crisis at the 21st hour. Poor Maya came down with a 24 hour bug so she and Rod had to stay home. We were super bummed, but made the most of our time with three of the five of them.
There were a few glitches when we arrived and we should have known that going to an indoor water park in the middle of the winter AND during winter vacation/President's weekend would be a mistake. Let's just say that wall to wall people was an understatement plus a shortage of people on their cleaning crew equals a long day minus our room. We made the most of it and I was so proud of Leah who was awake from 7am to 7:30pm with no nap. We started our adventure by eating at the Johnny Rocket's on the premises. YUM! Very hungry children after our LONG car ride!


Bellies full and ready for the water!

Leah was a little dare devil.

No fear of the water at the park, yet he has a fit in the bath tub when water gets in his eyes. What the heck??
After waiting a very very long time for our room we were more than happy upon arrival. The room ROCKED! It was a suite that slept 10 people. It was HUGE and super comfy, well except for the pillows that felt like bricks. Other than that the room was amazing.

The kids bunk room.
Pancake Sunday LG style!

Wintervention success!
It was a great trip with my great family and fantastic friends.
We missed you Rod and Maya.
Thank you to all of our family for helping with Rocky!!

From all the pictures, looks like you all had a great time. I know that Jen was so thankful for all your help. Maybe if you do it again, everyone can go! It's so strange to be looking at pictures of people in bathing suits in the middle of the winter!
