I'm currently sitting in a room at Great Wolf Lodge, being lazy and tired while my family is swimming and doing other water-fun-related things. It's been a fun trip so far, although the deathly water tube things are TERRIFYING. My mom forced me to go down them. I think the whole state could hear me scream as I went. It was soooo scary. The beds are soft, the food is delicious, there is a lounge for teens, and overall this place is kind of cool. There's even a game with wands and magical fairies called MagiQuest!
We took a break from the waterpark today to visit this thing called Mima Mounds. Basically, it's a prairie of random mounds that kind of look like giant gopher holes. It spreads out for acres and acres, and there are almost a million of the little mounds! I didn't get to take a picture 'cause I left my camera in the safe at the hotel. =[ If you've ever read Lord of the Rings, think about a very sunny Barrow-downs. If it had been dusk and super foggy, I would have run screaming in the other direction - or maybe crept forward slowly to spy on the barrow-wights and maybe find a nifty dagger like the Hobbits found! (You should definitely look them up on Google Images - just so you can see what I mean.)
I've been really tired all week and I'm not sure why. I also just discovered that two amazing people are coming up to visit my favorite church - MVPC - this week, and I won't be there becaues of this vacation! =[ I can't believe everyone gets to see Travis and Jeannie without me. Not that I should be complaining, since I'm sure my parents are spendng exorbitant amounts of money on us here. Oh, and the song that is my title today? Definitely came on shuffle as I was trying to decide what to put as my title. =D
