Great Wolf Lodge!

We've been away for a few days as Grampy and Grammy treated us all to a getaway to the Great Wolf Lodge in Williamsburg, VA.
 To say we had a blast, is an understatement!
 Teagan LOVED the water slides.
 At just 18 months old, the girl would climb up the stairs all by herself, get on the slide...
 and head down...
 Taya turned into a fish this weekend.  She went from a girl who just started going under the water...to a girl who swims now without her floaties!!!
Swimming in the outside pool.
 On our 1st night at the Great Wolf Lodge, they had a dance party.
 Teagan did some break dancing!
 The kids also had a ball in the arcade.
 Story time!
 Grammy bought the kids swords.
The swords provided more than an hour of entertainment!
 Everyone went to battle.
 We also celebrated my cousin Jeff's birthday!
 Beautiful family.
 Indulging in cake and cupcakes.
 Gift time.
 Back to the water park!  Jake was a daredevil.
 Sweet Madi.
 Teagan doing her thing.
 We didn't see Zack much as he went from slide to slide to slide.  He took some time and hung out with the little ones.
 Teagan even went down head first!
 Wave pool time.
 Teagan still sliding away.
Jake is full of energy!
Taya and her buddy.
 Jeff and Dawson were hard to get a picture of, as they were running from slide to slide, too.
 Taya's best friend Rachel.   She spent so much quality time with Taya, it was like Taya had a big sister.
 Off goes Taya and Jake.
 Teagan even came down the BIG slide!
 My little mermaid.
 The kids hitting the waves.
 Taking some time out to eat.
 Taya and Rachel still playing away.
 Jake shooting some hoops.
 Dawson really liked this slide.
 Girl time!  The girls got a special ice cream manicure.
 The boys were jealous.
 Teagan was looking through the window, as she wanted to come, too.
 So, she joined us!
Soaking her hands.
All the girls showing off their new polish.
 Our goal was to get a family picture...
 Tthis was about the closest we came to getting us all in one picture.
 All the kids enjoying story time on our last night together.
 If we couldn't get a family picture, I wanted at least to get a picture with all the kids.  
 It's tough to do with exhausted kids.
 Madi joined us!
 Then the kids kept wanting us to take more pictures.
 Teagan LOVED this bear.
 Every time she saw it, she would run up to it, jump on it....
 and say CHEESE!
 On our last morning, the kids all took one last swim.
 Spending some more quality time with Rachel.
 We all headed to Chick-fil-A for one last lunch together.  Not the family picture I wanted to give my parents...
but it will have to do.
 The kids cried when they left each other...and all kept saying let's do it again!!!
 It didn't take long for someone to fall asleep on the way home!
THANKS GRAMMY AND GRAMPY FOR SUCH A WONDERFUL WEEKEND AND SO MANY MEMORIES!
