Honey Creek Resort 'SHORT Vacation'

Awhile back we were visiting with our friends Jess and Lex... talked about taking the kids somewhere (water park type of fun). We both didn't want to drive far, especially since they have littler ones than us... and we knew we could just do one night due to our busy schedules. So really short trip.

We landed on Lake Rathbun - Honey Creek Resort. It's about an hour a half drive... indoor water park, 'beach' at the lake, playground, etc.

We headed out around 10:00 Saturday morning... got there, settled in, then grabbed some lunch. We then got our suits on and had a blast at the water park. The kids played hard... it was so fun there. Jess, Lex and their kids arrived about 2:00. We continued at the water park, so they could play... it started to get really busy in there, and started to get 'owly'. Cora was tired (no nap), so were the other kiddos. The attitudes arrived! ha. BUT we made the best of it and the kids did fine (it's just a lot!!), somehow got out of the water park (with little fight) and got changed... We then just walked around outside a little. Super hot weather, so that wasn't all that fun, but we needed to do something!

We grabbed dinner at the restaurant there... and then Jess, Lex and their kids headed back to their room. The four of us walked around a little more, then went to the playground for a bit. I took Cora back to the room about 7:30... and Ryan and Kayson hit up the beach a little, then the arcade. It was definitely a busy day... glad we could spend some time with the Orfanos', but we also had alone time too. I think it worked out well.

Sleep... well, it was ok. Cora kicked me about a gazillion times. Ryan shook the rafters with his snoring. So I slept well. ha.

This morning we did breakfast, then we all hit the water park again for about an hour. All the kids were wiped out... so it was a quick trip, then we got packed up and headed home. There were definitely great memories made, and it's a great place to take your kiddos. The water park was perfect for our kids' ages. And was super great that it was there cuz it was so hot outside!

We got home about 1:30... unloaded, groceries have been bought, laundry has been started, and our Sunday will be over soon. I'm tired!!!
