Update

It has been a long time since i posted, sorry. Life after Antonio left was challenging. The 15 days he was here were pretty blissful.Honestly the first few weeks after he left i was pretty certain that i would go over the deep end but thankfully God wont let that happen to me and I am feeling much better. I have lots of catching up to do on the blog so I will start with Our trip to The Great Wolf Lodge in Williamsburg, VA.

Here is the entrance to the Hotel/Water park

This was our room. I didn't realize we were getting kid cabin room i thought it was going to be just 2 double beds and a balcony. I had originally wanted to get one like this for the kids but it was a pricey choice. Needless to say we were pretty excited when we got to the room.

This was is what made it the "kid cabin", inside that little area was a bunk bed and a twin bed with a TV hanging on the wall. So it was like their own little retreat. And notice the windows, the kids had lots of fun sticking their little heads out of them, and playing all sorts of games.

This was the living/sleeping area, on the other side of the room was a gas fireplace, TV, and table. It was a great setup and we really enjoyed it.

Here is Ashlyn on her way to the water park.

and me

and Daddy and Devin doing some push up's

This is picture of a huge wooden bucket that hold 1,000 gallons of water. Every five minutes it dumps and you can stand under it. Devin loved this one, he almost melted cause he missed the one before we left but Daddy came to the rescue and said we could wait for the next one.

Sorry about the focus on this one i was taking it through the big window in the lobby. But this was a big jungle gym climbing "thing" hat was super fun. ON the back side it had two slides you could go down that we a pretty nice size. It was only one at a time so the first time we all went everyone was a bit nervous about it, but the kids totally loved it (should have seen the terror in Devin and Ashlyn eyes on the first finish it was priceless)

This is the stairs to the bigger slides that you had to go down on the inner tubes. There were two slides that two people could go together on a two person tube so we took turns with kids and slides. There was one we could all go down on together but me and that ride did not get along well, me and backwards while going very fast in a tube is not a good thing. And one of the lifeguards was lucky I am a christian women cause i asked him not to put me where i would go backwards ever so politely and he looked at me smiled and then spun me around and did it anyway. I was ticked and very nauseous and had to stick to the wave pool after that.

Here is a rope bridge thing that you could walk across.

In the back of picture is the wave pool, couldn't get a really good view of that one. We liked this alot also. Ashlyn is maturing around water so much, this year she started putting her face in the water and that led to going under and actual swimming. This is huge for her cause she HATED getting her face wet.

Here is a view of the whole park, it was the perfect size water park for the hotel. Big enough to not get boring and small enough to do everything many times.

This is the tower in the lobby and restaurant area. Every hour it did this song chime i think and then it had two shows daily with the tree, Indian girl, moose and several other characters. We caught it our second night, when we were leaving to go back to the room Ashlyn said ever so politely, "that was weird" and i had to agree with her it was quite corny. I did appreciate the way they made the hotel and water park very family oriented though.

Here we are on our way out. We had a great time!!!!
