Kalahari Resort

We took a somewhat unexpected road trip last weekend. We had ordered a trailer for the boat from a place in Toledo, OH and Jeff was planning on driving there and back on Friday to pick it up. We decided to go as a family and after checking the weather forecast for our area - decided to stay overnight somewhere near Toledo. We thought about going to Cedar Point - but the weather looked a little iffy for that - so we thought an indoor waterpark would be fun. So - at 10pm Thursday night we booked a room at the Kalahari Resort in Sandusky, OH for Friday night. The kids were already asleep and so we packed our bags while they were sleeping and decided that it was going to be a surprise. Elyse was so excited when we pulled up to the resort and told her that we were staying there for the night. Here is a pic of the outside of the resort.

The resort had a small petting zoo area. Here we are face to face with 2 giraffes - so cool!! Although Andrew was a little scared of the giraffes.

On Saturday we spent a short amount of time at the outdoor pool area (it was still a little chilly out!). Here we are standing next a waterfall in the kids area.

Elyse's favorite spot in the indoor kid area - next to the "kitty's".

The water park inside the resort was huge - with so much to do - we could have easily spent another night. We spent several hours in the waterpark on Friday night and then again on Saturday afternoon. There was also a huge indoor play area too. Andrew played in there for a while on Saturday. Jeff and I took turns watching the kids so we could each go on a few of the bigger water slides - although we both said it would be fun to go back when the kids are older and braver and want to go on the bigger water slides with us! It was a very spontaneous but fun getaway!
