Great Wolf Lodge: Kiera

Kiera had a great time at the water slides. They had this children's area with two slides, then the big fort with two larger, faster slides, then four really big slides. She went on the medium slides several times... until she twisted around (or started wrong, I don't know because I went first to catch her at the bottom.) and ended up face first. That was the end of those, period. It was about halfway through our stay, and she did not go on them again!

In the pool with Daddy and Sissy.

Daddy doing what daddies do :-)

Such a cutie!

In the children's area.

The way she went through this door made me laugh every time. She'd practically go through backwards or shoulder first to avoid water on her face.

But I think it's safe to say that even though she's cautious around water, she definitely had a blast!!!

Great Wolf Lodge: Melia

Melia is our fearless one. She is willing to try just about anything, which makes her a great waterslide partner! Unlike me, she is able to pop right back out of the water and open her eyes, so going under doesn't fase her a bit.

She went across this rope ladder several times, often 2-3 in a row. (shocked her little arms didn't get very tired!) She fell off a few times, but did fine getting out and trying again. I loved watching her. She'd even lose her grip and be hanging one handed, then get that other hand back up there and keep going! This was her last attempt. She just let go of the rope and leapt to the edge :-)

Daddy dumping her off the floaty...

We were shocked when she dove into her "worms and dirt" dessert. She doesn't have the greatest manners, but they certainly aren't this bad on a normal basis! When her teeth weren't dirty enough for a picture (above), Daddy made her get more "mud" in her mouth... (below)

Melia-- So happy in the water...

Great Wolf Lodge: Isaac

Since there are just so many pictures, I'm going to do them in phases.

Phase One: Isaac

Isaac was the kinker in our trip. He did great overall. But the teething made life a little difficult. In most of his pictures, he's knawing on his fingers, poor guy. The tylenol seemed to help for the most part. He didn't like the splashing, and when the bucket dumped sometimes he would flinch from the screaming and noise of the water. I think it was just overwhelming. He did enjoy sitting with us and watching his sisters. Here are some of my favorite shots.

Watching sissies swimming with Daddy.

Crashed out hard.

Calm, cool, collected.

Concerned. This was his face most of the time.

Doesn't he look like a big boy here?

I have no idea- but I LOVE this picture! It's so stinking funny!

Doesn't it look like some funny face Gabe would make??!!!!
