Water park Getaway

This weekend we spent a night away at a water park.  The kids had a ball and loved every minute of it.

The kids had a ball with their friends.  This was the same water park we went to with Grandma and Bo last year and it was interesting to see the difference.  Carter was able to go on all the rides, and he loved the big water slides.  He spent quite awhile running up and down the stairs with his friend to ride the big water slide.  None of the kids spent much time in the toddler area, whereas last year Ava and Dawson really enjoyed it.  Dawson was also able to ride some of the smaller water slides, which he loved.  He called it the tornado ride because it was like being inside a tornado.

Happy Faces

We also spent a ton of time in the hot tub this year.  The kids had fun going outside in the hot tub.  It was so funny watching icicles form on hair and eyelashes but being perfectly comfortable in the water.  Carter and Dawson even took a polar bear plunge and got out of the hot tub to walk in the snow and jump back into the hot tub. 

A boy after my own heart

After lunch Dawson started begging to go back to the room.  I would ask him what he wanted to do and he would say "watch cartoons."  I quickly realized he wanted to take a nap but he was too embarrassed!  So we went back and had a little cuddle nap.

We topped it off with pizza and Carter almost fell asleep on the table.  They are eagerly anticipating our next water park getaway!!
