This day was long anticipated by children and us Adults! My DH took off the evening from work and we were looking forward to this fun family adventure!
We started preparing the evening before, when we received a phone call asking if we would be willing to leave Thursday night and stay at a hotel 10 minutes from the park. The Girls were just arriving home from VBS (Vacation Bible School) and once they found out the good news they were elated! We started packing. Our goal was to be out of the house by 10pm. Well, we pulled out about 11pm. That's not bad for two Adults and five children. We had bathing suits and towels plus all the necessities. We were even asked to bring our cast iron frying pan for Homemade pancakes by our gracious host. They had booked a room, once they arrived the room was not up to par. So, they were upgraded to a suite with an attached room and they offered it to us! WooHoo!
The next morning! We ate the best Gluten free, soy free, wheat free, rye free pancakes we'd ever had! That was worth the traffic delay we had experienced on our way to the hotel. Plus, freshly cut up fruits including: Pineapple, strawberries, blueberries, mango, apples and a tray of watermelon and a tray of honey dew melon! It felt like a little touch of Heaven! We washed it all down with a glass of Orange Juice.
Then off to the water park! We spent all day there, lots of fun for the kids. The older three Girls were permitted by us to venture off on their own, with promises to stay in touch by their cell phones. This worked out great, we took the little tots to their special kiddy section. Great fellowship too! We finished the evening with a catered dinner all you can eat! We practically rolled out of the park! We can't wait to do it again next year!
Chow for now,
