We had a blast celebrating her "real birthday" at the Water Park of America! Our original plan was to go to Grand Forks with both sets of grandparents, however much like our attempt in October, the plans had to be cancelled. Thankfully this time it was only because of a snow storm, not three sick kids.
Anyways, the WPOA was fun alternative! We swam and stuffed ourselves with pizza on Friday, stayed the night in a bunk bed suite, and then swam again on Saturday morning. The girls got extremely brave going on the water slides by themselves and the five of us piled into a raft on the family slide! Merek squealed with delight on that one, but I on the other hand got a little green in the face.
The kids waiting for the elevator, pre-water slides.
Merek tearing around the corner in the hotel hallways. Note that this is the last picture of Merek that night... he was such a maniac in the water that neither Bob nor I had a free hand take any pictures. It wasn't until we pawned him off on Makee and Paca on Saturday morning, that we actually got to take any pictures.
It looks like Brielle was the winner this time!
They actually get their heads wet now... maybe swimming lessons are finally paying off!
Brielle got her first iPod, just like her big sister did this year!
Brielle and Mommy at the Rainforest Cafe. Brielle is eating a birthday bucket full of dirt and worms!
Daddy and Kylyn enjoying Brielle's brownie volcano sundae! There were a few people at the table who were happy that Brielle doesn't eat ice cream!
