once we all finally rolled out of bed on sunday, we had a nice big sunday breakfast before heading out to the waterpark! if it were up to the girls, we would have skipped breakfast all together and went straight to swimming! lol!
the tower of kids watching some cartoons!
my two goofballs all ready to go!!
as i said before, i didn't take my camera today, sniff sniff. but we had an absolute blast!! we took the water taxi across the lake, then took a shuttle bus to the main resort, where we hopped on a golf cart that took us to a horse drawn carriage ride! this was the first time for the girls and they liked it! it was short and sweet (and hot and cramped, but hey, we're out in the wilderness, what can ya expect! lol!) and the horses were gorgeous!!
once we finished up with that, it was finally time to swim!! we scoped out the "halley's comet" slide and the looping slide on our way in! haylie was big enough to do the halley's comet one, which of course she had to do, since it's named after her! lol! while us girls were checking out all the pools, papa and nick decided to take on the looping slide! they enjoyed it! even though they drank more water than they would have liked! lol! after checking out the lazy river, haylie decided it was time to try out "her" ride! and she absolutely loved it! she probably went on it at least 10 times throughout the day! poor grama, papa and nick...walking up all those stairs so many times! i lucked out - you had to slide down on your stomach, so no pregos allowed!
after several hours of swimming, i decided i should run back to the room and get my camera......despite walking and waiting, it never happened b/c it started to rain! so we headed back and what do ya know.....it stopped raining! oh well!
before we left, we went on the go-karts! i was super excited because they even had kiddie carts for the girls to drive all on their own! this would be the first time they drive go karts! haylie liked it, but charlie didn't want to do it! still so so much fun!! after haylie took her turn, my dad, nick and i drove the regular go karts! haylie rode along with me! i think she liked that even better!! after go karts, we headed back to our room for some dinner....with the promise of being able to go back to "our" waterpark after of course! haha!
the girls dove right in! we sat on the side and relaxed and enjoyed watching them for awhile!

at a lot of times throughout the trip the girls were so lovey dovey with each other.....holding hands, hugging, going down the slides together! i was waiting for some major fights, but thankfully it really didn't happen!
haylie back on the lily pads of course!
i guess you could say these were the lily pads of the kiddie pool. charlie found the one that wobbled, and kept doing dances for us! it was hysterical!
we pretty much had the place to ourselves most of the night, which was fine with us! it allowed the girls to go down the slide a gazillion times in whatever fashion they chose....such as above! haha!! luckily, there were no crashes until about an hour before we left on monday, and by that point i think they were so tired that even that small clash seemed like a traumatic event!
pretty soon the girls were begging us to go down the slides with them! and how could we say no to their cute little pleas?! before we knew it, we were all taking turns flying down the slide with the girls.....and sometimes without them! hahaha!
i think we can all agree that it was probably one of the funnest parts of the trip!! we were all running around, laughing, playing.....just being kids!! it was a blast!!
but we still had one more day of fun ahead, so we did have to head back up to the room for some shut eye! the girls laid down and us adults decided to play some adult uno.....and by adult, i just mean no kids playing so we actually played more than one hand and kept score! lol! until.....haylie popped out of the room and came to join us! she "helped" grama play...which apparently she needed.....haylie's quote of the night...."actually, grama, i'm pretty good at this game. and actually, you're not!" we all got a good, long chuckle out of that one! after her two-fisted snack of a cheesestick and rice krispie treat, off she went back to bed!
we planned our attack for our final day in paradise! there was a chance of rain, so of course we had a back up plan. we were sad about knowing we had to leave, but we knew we still had one more full day of fun ahead!
