Splash Universe Amish Inn

I literally have a picture of a sliding glass door with "Splash Universe" on one side and "Amish Inn" on the other.
It was pretty awesome though. We drove to Amish country with Katie's parents and her 4 year old nephew, Eliot. He shares a fear of Harry Potter movies with me and so I love him.
Her dad is a journalist and was going to write a travel piece for the Chicago Sun I believe. That being part of the reason for the short family vacation.
Our hotel was teeming with children, seeing as there was a water park within i should've expected it.
Some of you may not be aware of my fear of water slides but I was very good. There was a water slide in which you had to walk up all these stairs and go through all these dark tunnels but I did it! and without hardly complaining! there was this horrible giant bucket that would fill with water and then every 5 min or so would dump over which was loud and terrifying. it successfully kept me off the play structure.
We shared one room with 9 of Katie's family members plus baby. her dad and mom were on the pull out bed in the living room. katie, her younger brother and her two nephews and i shared 4 bunk beds in the "center" and then her older brother, his wife and their baby, Penelope, in the bedroom. there was one bathroom. i didn't freak out though, everyone was super nice, and really loud especially compared to hailey's family which is the only other family, aside from my own, which i have been on a road trip with.
tonight we went to a st. Patrick's day party of katie's dad's high school friends. then we came home to watch more harry potter. katie had to leave to take her brother to get his car and i had to change the channel because apparently i can't watch harry potter alone in a house.
i'm watching everybody loves raymond now.
