OUR FAMILY VACATION......PART 2

I'm not sure how well everyone slept Thursday night!! You would have thought it was Christmas Eve with as excited as the kids were for what was happening the next day!!!
Friday morning we got up and had breakfast, got ready and packed up. We decided that since we were on "VACATION", we would make it feel more like vacation and stay a couple nights in a hotel. But first..............SEVEN PEAKS!! The kids were SUPER EXCITED!! None of them had ever been to a water park like this. This was kind of my family reunion! My family came down Friday morning and spent the day with us at Seven Peaks.
We rented one of those Cabanas, the big umbrellas with the picnic tables, so that the kids had shade and somewhere to rest, not that they were going to use it!! I think some of the adults used it more!! Ha Ha!! :) The Cabana we got was right next to the little adventure pool for the little kids!! Oakleigh LOVED the slides and splashing in the water. It was so shallow, she kept jumping off the sides into the water.

I'm not sure how many times my kids went down the water slides. I do know I didn't see them much. They were constantly going down a slide, or over in the wave pool!! Oakleigh didn't like the wave pool, guess it was too much!! I think they stopped long enough for lunch, and even then they only stopped for about five minutes!! Long enough to scarf down a burger and they were off again!


This was Oakleighs FAVORITE!! The Lazy River. We went around and around and around......and around again!! She kept saying "Again Daddy"!! I was glad she was having fun!!

Late in the afternoon it started to poor on us!! But it only lasted about 10 minutes and then the sun was back out and it was 90 degrees again!!



The kids had SOOOOO much fun!!! Definitely well woth it!! We stayed until they closed. We had been there 7 hours and they did not want to leave!! They could have stayed all night!!
We went back to Jason and Katies and roasted hot dogs and had a little birthday party for their little girl Corrie. With a long day of swimming in the heat and full bellies, the kids were ready for bed!! We went and checked into our hotel. I was exhausted and ready for bed, I figured the kids would be too!! But NOPE.....they wanted to swim more!! So we went down to the hotel poole and swam for another hour. Then I drug the kids back to the room, threw them in the shower, and sent them to bed!!! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ :)
