Yesterday we went to an indoor waterpark called Miramar with our friends the Bentons to celebrate Jack's first birthday. :) We had a great time!
Because the Germans didn't have a holiday, the place was really not busy at all. They had lots of fun things to do there- like a wave pool and water slides. They also had hot tubs, an indoor/outdoor hot pool-- which was really neat with the snow coming down, places for yoga and tanning, and a restaurant. They have other stuff too... but you get the gist. ;)
It was different from US places in other ways too, for example: Europeans are, um, more comfortable with their bodies, there were extremely few lifeguards to be found, and no one tells you when it is safe to go down the waterslides (which did lead to a little collision incident for Rob.)
Thank you Bentons for inviting us!

HILARIOUS

Hanging out at the wave pool. We don't currently have a swimsuit that fits Charlotte, so she just wore a swim diaper and t-shirt.

Notice all of the empty chairs? Soooo nice to not have crowds around!

This is a post script....
we have been trying for WEEKS now to get a decent family photo.
Charlotte has decided she despises photographers who try to play peek-a-boo with her, Toby is mesmerized by cameras, and well, I have no excuse for Rob and I in this shot.
