Our son just celebrated his 4 year old birthday. We kicked off the event by making a rainbow cake that he chose off the shelf from Target. The whole process took over an hour, but it was quite scientific and he sure did seem to enjoy it.
This year, as every year at this time, cabin fever has set in and finding anything interesting to do with a child is a challenge. It always seems like the perfect time to book a room at a water park. Seeing that our son's birthday falls in January, we try combine a getaway with a birthday celebration. This year we booked our room at Three Bear's Resort in Warrens, WI.
Our family of four, my husband, my son, and our 13 year old furry friend, hit the road by 11:00 a.m. The car was filthy, the sun was bright, and a very excited boy was already asking, "When will we be there!" With a 2 1/2 hour drive from our town to Warrens, this wasn't music to our ears. We had plenty of movies on reserve for the ride, but lately my son asks for things to do with me in the car. Seeing that I'm a consultant for Usborne Books and More, I usually always have a backpack full of activity books to pass the time.
We arrived to an awkward silence in our cabin. Unfortunately, I hadn't reserved the correct amount of wristbands. The McIntosh family of 4 arrived first and had the first set of bracelets. My parents, sister, boyfriend, and niece and nephew were left one bracelet short. The nice lady at the front desk, quickly got me 4 more wristbands, and the situation was under control.
We were pleased with the water park. Upon entry there was a nice water play area for the smaller kids. The lazy river was just the right size. My son was too afraid to go on the water slides, but the other kids didn't mind. Other than the tunnels being really dark, no one complained and lots of fun was had by all. There were plenty of lifeguards, and the area was really clean.
The kids really enjoyed the vaulted ceilings, which was just perfect for shooting rockets high up into the loft in the Wood Duck Cabin on Yogi Circle. The boys would shoot them up, and the girls would catch them.
We were pleased with the stay, and the kids were VERY happy to meet the Three Bears.
