Our mini-vacation Wilderness at the Great Smokie Mountains
Our trip to the water park was lots of fun. Busy by no means was it a restful vacation. We had lots of fun did not get a lot of sleep and were on edge a lot, but over all lots of fun. We won't go back until all the girls are at least 42." Ashley was so sad that she could not go on a lot of the slides. Emily is such a dare devil and wanted to go on everything. I think she really enjoyed that one on one Mommy or daddy time going on the slides with us. She felt like such a big kid. There was only one slide Emily could not go on. Michael and I, our, favorite was the lazy river we could take all the kids and just float along in tubes. Chloe would nuzzle in and rest or nap. Ashley just sat and enjoyed the ride and Emily bounced around in the water from Michael to me. There were 2 wave pools that were also lots of fun that we could all go down.
Our kids do not do well sleeping other places besides home. We have sleep trained them all to enjoy the quite of their own rooms that does back fire on us when we go out of town. But Emily is now at almost 5 doing really well we go out of town or "sleeping over," at grandma's house. Or even her big trip to California.
Because of Ashley not getting enough sleep she was very cranky a lot of the time just going places other then being in the water. We had to also get Ashley a new swim suit she was having a problem with all her swim suits riding up her butt.
Overall we had lots of fun and lots of family time. These are the moments that we will treasure for ever. We are building great memories for Emily and maybe Ashley will remember too. They will have the blog and scrapbooks to remember these family trips. Emily starts Kindergarten in just 5 short weeks. I can't believe it.
