Day 2-Niabi Zoo, Iowa Children's Museuam and the Wasserbahn

We were up bright and earlier to head to the Niabi Zoo in Coal Valley, IL. The night at Stoney Creek was not the best. There was a wedding going on and people were celebrating in the hallways unitl 12:30 or 1:00am. Kids slept great, parents not so much.
We arrive at Niabi Zoo and head in with pony rides, the merry go around and animals waiting. All the animals ae great. New Africa exhibit was awesome with up close look at giraffes. We finish there and walk to Austrilia. Carrie and the kids have never feed Lorikeets before so we get some feed and watch as the birds swarm for the food.. Emmy freak out a little and dropped her feed. Tyler, surprisingly, loves it and likes fedding the birds. As we leave the are we get to watch and emu run off all the other animals so it could lay down. We head over to the Koi pond which is my favortie part. You throw the food and roughly 30 fish start fighting for food along with geese, swans, and turtles. I jsut love it. We pack up and head to Coralville and the Children's Museum.
We stop and eat lunch in food court. Subway for the children, pizza for dad, and mom decided no to eat. We went into the museum nd had a great time. New dinosaur exhibit was not as fun as kids thought it would be but rest of museum great as usual. We headed to Little Amana for the Wasserbahn.
The Wasserbahn is located in the Holiday Inn. We check in and get upgraded to a bigger room. Huge room with fridge and microwave, large beds, and pull out couch. We check out the indoor waterpark. There is a zero depth playarea with climbers and a small slide, a swimming pool and two large slides. We measure both kids and both are big enough for the big slides. Thye are very excitied to say the least. Back to the room to change and go swimming.
After swimming for a while, we decide to play on the playground outside before heading over to dinner at the Colony House. We have a great dinner and decide to have dessert back at the water park while swimming. More swimming, the game room, and Dippin Dots for the kids and we turn in for a great night's sleep. Tomorrow, more mini golf and Amana.
