We went to the Metropolis Hotel in Eau Claire, Wisconsin on Wednesday December 29-December 30. The hotel is connected to Chaos water park (indoors) and four water park passes were included in the cost of the hotel. John, the kids and I had a blast and here are some of the pictures we took. The first pictures were of just the water park so you can get an idea of what we saw. The kids want to go to another water park soon....I better rest up. This was a lot of fun, but non-stop activity!!
A view of the water slides...these two went didn't go into a pool, just had standing water in the slide at the bottom. Myah wasn't tall enough to go down these, but the boys had fun!!
These cars squirted at you as you rode on the Lazy River....to top it off the water was COLD!!
This is the view over the pool with the basketball hoops. Loved the plane hanging down from the ceiling!!
This was a little fire station with small slides that were completely dark that petrified Myah even thought she loved the big slides!
This is looking into the small kiddie area where the water is no deeper that one foot...the green and yellow water tower squirted water all the time. The kids couldn't wait to get in there!!!!
Noah squirting at something. This was a new toy we had to buy there....it cost $5, but they were well worth the money for the amount of fun they had!
More squirting.
They had a special machine to fill up their squirters....one had to be very careful there so as not to get shot in the eye with water....
Myah had a nap there the first day. She had a fever of 103, but still wanted to play. A little Tylenol and ibuprofen fixed her right up and she went right back to playing!
Luke navigates his way across the pool using the net and the lily pads in the pool.
Luke does love going across this net to the other side. I think he better watch out for that girl coming from the other side!!
Luke coming down the water slide. This water park seemed so safe. The life guards were very cautious.
Noah with his squirter. It appears he is squirting himself.
This is John's favorite picture. Noah had so much fun with this squirter...if you swim with us next year you better watch out...this squirts up to 30 feet!!
Noah coming down the water slide.
Myah and Mommy on the Lazy River. We weren't trying to avoid the camera, we were trying to avoid the cold water as it squirted at us....brrrrrr!
Luke hangs around in the Lazy River. He liked being at the water park, but he got very cold and had to come back to the hotel room to warm up.
Myah saw grandpa when he came to visit. She was so excited! She ran to him to give him a hug, but she was wet so she had to settle for a pat on the back.
Myah tells grandpa about all the great times she was having. She loved going down the slide on a tube with daddy. The water slide went outside and it was completely dark the whole way down, but she loved it anyway! She is a brave one.
Luke wants dessert...can you guess what he wants??
Luke is being silly after I was teasing him about what he wanted for dessert. He told me it started with a "C" and I started guessing celery, carrots, cauliflower....he didn't think that sounded like dessert! Isn't he so cute?? Just so you know, he wanted to have.....CANDY. I guess that does start with "C"!!
Noah came to visit with grandpa and I got this rare picture of him standing still. Poor Noah had so much trouble in this water park with his asthma. The air was very humid and it smelled like some icky chemicals. He is doing much better after only 24 hours at home!! Asthma is certainly not something to mess with!
Myah got cold with all of that time in the water park. Her poor lips were turning blue and her teeth were chattering. We went and spent a few minutes in the hot tub before we realized it said that kids under 6 are prohibited from using the hot tub...WI state law. We were very disappointed, but Luke loved the fact that he could be there!
Noah plays in this thing....he loved pushing on the water sprays to make them spray you....thankfully I got the camera out of there fast!!
Myah loved walking through the kiddie pool, going into the bigger pool, but always tried to avoid the water sprays....it is completely impossible to do without leaving the pool!
Myah loved sitting on this snake. Isn't she adorable. Even with my complete fear of snakes, I can say that I LOVE this picture!!
Go Noah Go!!!
Noah still navigates his way across the pool. It looks like he is still training to be on "Ninja Warrior" some day. As long as he has quit using my house as an obstacle course I don't care!
This is what daddy and Myah look like as they come down about a three foot slide. Myah loved going down this slide with daddy, but refused to do it on her own...after looking at this picture I can't say that I blame her!!
Daddy and Myah on the Lazy River....she loved sitting on daddy!And it all must come to an end...all of the kids were disappointed when we had to go home, but when it got almost impossible for us all to breathe we had to leave. Myah cried most of the two hour trip home...we will go to a water park again, hopefully soon! Thank you to Grandma and Grandpa for this wonderful trip!
