The Tundra/Last day at the pool

Over the long weekend we took a trip to Green bay, WI to The Tundra Resort.  The 4 hour drive wasn't as bad as I thought, and my bladder cooperated and we only had to stop once.  We took the trip with Kyle, Lana and Daniel-- the kids had a blast.

The indoor water park is perfect for ages they are at.  It had a kiddie pool area that had the gradual depth- only going to about 1 foot deep that included a small little slide.  It also had a fort area that you could climb and wait for the huge bucket of water to dump all over you.  There is a small regular pool with 2 basketball hoops- but it is not large and you can't really do any swimming there.  It also has a lazy river and then 2 large water slides that you go down on inter tubes.  The kids LOVED it!!!!! They could wear their floaties when they went down- so they felt more comfortable.  However by the end they were making themselves fly off the tube at the end to go under water.  :)  The only concern we had was how slippery the flooring is.  As you can see from the below picture it is tile- which no matter if you are walking slowly- it is still slippery.  But we survived & would definitely go back.  {side note: the hotel did have a restaurant, arcade, and small store that had some ice cream-- it is also in a great location with lots of restaurants and shopping around}




It was hard to get pictures when we were there.  I didn't want to take my big camera down to the pool- didn't want it to get wet and also you just leave your bag at a table or chair if you can find one- which isn't always in your view.  And it was hard to keep an eye on the kids while trying to not drop your phone in the water.  We did bring our small waterproof camera that we got some good videos on-- but not sure if I can upload to here-- I will have to check. 

We ended up driving home late Sunday night so we could sleep in our own beds and also have the full day at home on Sunday.  We headed to the country club for the last pool day!
Emmy decided that it was the day she was going to go off the diving board-- and did she ever.  She walked her little bottom up to the board- walked to the edge of the board and she jumped.  No hesitation!!! It was so cute and she loved it!!!! I think she jumped off about 20 times.

Hope you all had a good weekend!

  1. I can't believe Emmy went off the diving board! It makes her seem so grown up.
