Key Lime Cove Indoor Water Park

We checked out of our Chicago townhouse yesterday (Friday) morning and went up north to Gurnee, Illinois to spent a day at the Key Lime Cove Resort, which has an awesome 65,000 square foot indoor water park.  We didn't take any pictures yesterday because we were all in the water enjoying ourselves.  But today, I managed to take some pictures since I didn't go in the water while everyone else did prior to checking out of the hotel.  Here are a few shots I took of the kiddos having a splashing good time in the water (the quality of the pix aren't the greatest since I was using our small point and shoot camera which does not have the best flash for low light level conditions).

Des spent most of his time in the toddler section of the water park which had about 2 feet of water at the most.  It was perfect for him.  Yesterday, this is also where I spent most of time...with him, while Dada was with Stella.  Besides the toddler pool, Des also managed to go around in the lazy river a few times and enjoyed the waves in the wave pool.  

Stella spent some time in the toddler section playing with her brother, but she spent most of her time yesterday at the wave pool, the lazy river, and going down some of the really big twisty slides on tandem tubes with Dada and with Ommy.  I, unfortunately, don't have any pictures of those because I didn't go on any of the tube slides.

Here's a picture of the heart of the water park and you can see a part of the orange and yellow tube slide (on the left side of the pic) that Stella went down.

Unfortunately all good things come to an end and so it was with our vacation.  We said goodbye to our cousins, Aunt Tara and Uncle Tommy, and to Ommy and Poppa and headed home around 11:30 AM.  Until next year...
