Grandma and Grandpa got all the grandkids a great Christmas present, a night/day at a hotel with a fun waterpark, and we did it on Thanksgiving day. It was lots of fun, the water park was really well laid out and fun for all the kids!
I took lots of video, but here are some of the pictures from that day.
Xander under the mushroom waterfall thing.
All the water in the whole park was no more than 3 feet deep, so all of the kids really could go all over the place swimming and walking.
They had a big huge waterslide that was a big hit. My kids weren't sure if they wanted to try it, we talked about it before hand they were pretty sure they wouldn't want to slide on the big slide. The started off sliding with me and Papa. Even that was scary the first time, I think Sophia and Isabella both made trips up and came back down the stairs once. But once they got up the nerve to do it they loved it and we did it over and over (I had the sore legs to prove it the next day, according to Faron each trip to the slide was 60 steps up)
By the end of the day the big girls got brave enough to do it by themselves! Once they were doing it alone the went over and over and over. Here's Sophia standing in line.
Ari was trying out her awesome new swim suit. It has a built in life jacket which worked super well. She was able to swim alone the whole time, totally afloat, no help needed. Which worked out pretty well for her since she is miss independent.
We took a short swimming break and then went to eat, then back into the water of course.
There is also a very fun area of smaller water slides, and the water is only one foot deep, so Kole could swim around over there. He wasn't a big fan of the slides but he went down a couple times.
Kole also got to open some birthday presents, which is always fun.
Thanks for a great present Grandma and Grandpa!

We have got to go again... had a ball. The kids thought it was great and so did we.
That's a fun post. That place looks awesome. I never really think Xander looks like the girls, but that first picture where his hair is all wet and dark, he does look like them. Just a little tid-bit for ya.
