Our room was ready for us when we arrived. We were on the fourth floor, great view. Shawn's parents booked us the loft room. It is nice! Fireplace, a loft room above the regular hotel room. Darn if I didn't forget to take a picture of it. I remember that now! Anyway, the kids ran all over that room and put on their swimming suits. Off to the water we go. They love the wave pool. They both always have. Will doesn't love it when the waves start rolling. He knows when the wolves howl to get out. It was so funny to see him hurry out of the pool.
Shea Bug had no problem jumping right in. Once the Miley's arrived, Shea was eager to show the girls all around. There is the kiddie pool with slides, kid hot tub, lazy river, play house. It goes on and on...
After a full day of playing everyone was hungry. We hit the buffet dinner which was divine, as always. The kids were all very excited. There was a band playing Christmas music, you could get your face painted (this was over when we were done eating) and the best part of all... Mr. & Mrs. Clause made the trip down from the North Pole! With Elves!!! They came in a carriage and you could take rides but it was raining, pouring actually.
Shea told me in this moment she was telling Mrs. Clause that she wanted another American Girl doll. Get ready for this... She was asked by the Clauses if Will had been a good boy this year and she answered YES! She does love her little brother.
As you can see, Will likes Santa but only from a distance and wants nothing to do with sitting near him.
After that grand meeting it was almost time for the clock tower show. This is SO neat! This is the view of the entry way, I just love it.
The clock came to life! The characters sing songs and tell a story. At the end, it snows in the lobby! The kids were in aw. So were we! Now we must hurry back to our room and get our pj's on. There might be a special treat!
A pink elf brought cookies and milk to the room for the kids. Shea answered the door and the look on her face was priceless. Thanks for sending her up, Santa, the cookies were good. Mrs. Clause did a great job baking them.
The next day I pulled my camera out in the water park to play with it and I had a great time. I'll have to post more pictures that I took. Which is a lot! Here's Shawn and Shea chilling.
I always love this mushroom looking thing. Lots of folks run under it. I took this photo as I walked around playing with my camera. Then I asked for a couple of people to pose under it for me. I think it turned out.
Shea has always loved this activity. She can do it all by herself now. Getting so big! Slow down a bit.
I have to share this photo experiment. I laughed so hard. Shawn, Shea, Will and the Miley's went in the lazy river. I had to use the bathroom and said I'd meet up with them. Well, I decided to take pics instead. Watch this series.
Here they come. Watch out for the water spraying, Shea...
Whoops, don't think she saw it. Took them right through it.
Will liked it, don't you think?!
We had a great time, thanks Grandma and Grandpa Huntington. I'll post more pics soon. I have another update to share.
When we got home from GWL, we had a snow day!!! YEA! Shea has had two loose teeth for a long while. The adult tooth is already in. Finally, it came out. Grandma Godsey pulled it out. They said come in the bathroom and bring the camera. Not something you hear often. But, glad I listened. I came in to see Shea doing this...
While holding this...
The tooth fairy did come Monday night. She left Shea $5.00. There is another one about to come out. This girl is going to be rich!
