We planned another trip to GWL over Megan's random school break that takes place during the third week of January. We were already looking forward to it AND THEN we learned that our favorite neighbor friends were planning a trip THE VERY SAME DAY! Their Dad had a last minute business trip scheduled, and wasn't able to get up there until later in the evening, so we volunteered to take three extra kids with us for the day, much to the delight of a certain FIVE kids.
 |
| Ready for a roadtrip! The trip up could not have gone any smoother. Everyone was so well behaved. |
 |
| We arrived! (Megan, Rand, Norah) |
 |
| Little sisters' turn! (Hannah, Hazel) |
 |
| Did I mention it was Rand's birthday? He was a sport and let me take his picture surrounded by women. |
 |
| We got right down to the business of swimming |
 |
| With a short break for Rand's birthday ice cream |
 |
| The little sisters hot tubbed while the big ones conquered the slides |
 |
| After swimming, we got cleaned up for arts and crafts in the lobby... |
 |
| And Magiquest! Norah let me help her on a quest. |
 |
| Dinner time for these two toothless ladies |
 |
| The birthday boy got an ice cream surprise! |
 |
| Little sisters are ready for storytime (the big kids were back in the waterpark) - Hazel's Daddy arrived just as storytime was about to begin. We couldn't have asked for better behavior out of FIVE kids on a very BUSY day. |
 |
| Hugs for Rachel Raccoon |
 |
| Hi Rachel! |
 |
| Rachel later delivered milk & cookies to our room |
 |
| After a great night's sleep, we went to breakfast, meeting up with Oliver Raccoon along the way. |
 |
| Hannah insisted on spending time in the arcade, winning this guy along the way. |
We headed back home shortly after lunchtime. It was another great trip to GWL, made that much more memorable by spending time with our friends. We'll surely be back!
