If you want to play baseball in Minnesota in the winter… put up a dome.  And if you want to go to  a waterpark in the winter… move it inside!  3 cheers for whoever thought that up.  Since being here in the frozen tundra we have made it a tradition to go around Christmas time to one of the indoor waterparks.  This time we ventured to the indoor waterpark capital of America… and it was bigger and better than ever.  Nate and Zach even went on a rollercoaster tube slide. where the tubes had roll bars – (apparently Zach kept screaming "I think I'm getting scared…")  Emma loved the lazy river with the "spitting ladies", and would go down slides for hours on end even when she was shivering and her lips were turning purple.  Carter loved the cool wooden chairs and hated the waterpark – so Nate and I took turns freezing with Zach and Emma on the slides and holding the warm, snuggly baby.  In retrospect, both were fun – although when we were shivering in the water we sure wanted baby duty!  Other highlights for the kids included jumping on the hotel beds, Dad letting them eat in the hotel beds, and their prizes from winning tickets at the little arcade.  I should have taken more pictures at the waterpark, but we were too wet and having too much fun.  Definitely a tradition worth keeping!
