Some friends of ours gave us a gift certificate for a one night stay and 4 waterpark passes to The Depot in downtown Minneapolis. The Depot is the old train station which has been renovated into 2 hotels, a water park, and an ice skating rink. The theme being "trains". As you can imagine, we had a marvelous time. Sutton loved the trains and Shaeffer loved the water. Sutton was VERY cautious in the water and one might even say timid. Shaeffer was kicking his feet, splashing his hands and loving every minute! A portion of the water park is 8 inches deep and the boys LOVED sitting and splashing all over. In the center of the pool is a giant train that squirts water and has slides coming out of it. Both boys were fascinated by the kids running and playing all around! We chose to check in on Friday afternoon, swim for a while, have dinner and sleep at home. We kept our swimming stuff at the hotel and ventured back this morning after breakfast. We swam for another couple hours, went out to lunch and now they are sleeping. To our generous friends, a direct quote from Sutton, "Thanks for bringing me to the train's house".
PS... The hotel room was just as much fun as swimming... The boys were running around naked and loving it... We did take some pics, but probably shouldn't post them!
