Our Trip to Fort Rapids

Over the long weekend, we had to opportunity to take the kids on a little mini-trip. We packed up the kids (and the dogs) and headed for Columbus. Luckily, 2 hours in the car with both kids and both dogs went quickly as we headed for my parents' house. They were kind enough to babysit the grand-dogs and we headed off for adventure. First, we spent a couple hours at COSI. Most of the time we were there, we were crime scene investigators. At the CSI exibit, we got to look for evidence, test DNA samples, identify shoe prints, and match fingerprints. We even got to identify what type of blood spatter we found at the crime scene. It was quite an experience!

Then we headed out to check into the hotel, but were still too early so we headed to BDs Mongolian Barbeque for lunch. I love that place!!! After eating entirely too much, we headed back to Fort Rapids and there the fun began!!

Fort Rapids is a resort with an indoor waterpark. So all weekend, we spent a TON of time going down slides, drifting down the lazy river and getting TONS of water dumped on our heads! It was the perfect trip with the kids. Both of them had a blast and didn't misbehave at all. I think it was probably the most fun we have had as a family all together. I can't wait to have another trip like this one!
