Floating…Is that exercise? March 30, 2008

Posted by kimayars Ramblings Digg! this story! Digg! this story. , trackback

We’re at the new Great Wolf Lodge in “scenic” Grand Mound, WA right now enjoying the benefits of an 84-degree indoor waterpark while freak snow and hail storms are happening across our area. Controlled climate is good. ;-)

So, I’ve been doing a lot of floating and bobbing with the girls. There have been some stairs involved, but only to get the the water slides. It has been a relaxing and fun little mini-vacation so far.

The only real problem is that the main eatery in this place is a buffet. Erck. I am terrible with buffets. The food is also really good, which complicates things. I’m sure I’ve gained a few pounds. I know I’ve been eating a lot because Jeff has been giving me those knowing side-ways glances. He knows not to say anything, but he is making his point.

I did think about going to the fitness center to run this morning, but just as I climbed out of bed to drag my sorry little butt down there for a 5-mile run, our youngest woke up and didn’t reconize where whe was. She climbed in bed with Jeff and I and I just couldn’t resist her snuggles. They aren’t this age forever, and I want to enjoy every minute of it. Even post-traumatic cuddling.

Maybe tomorrow morning… :-D

That’s right! They aren’t that age forever — so don’t even feel guilty about not running this morning! I totally would have stayed for some cuddles, too. :)

Enjoy the rest of your mini vaca!!

excellent choice! i’ve seen the commercials for that place and wondered if it’s good. i’m not even sure where it is…
so would you recommend it?

realized it wasn’t totally obvious that by choice i meant in your choice to cuddle over exercise.

I got hailed/rained out for riding on friday and saturday, and braved the rain for my lesson on Sunday. I envy the waterpark idea! Wish it was closer to me, I could do with some warm “weather”!
