Having A Splashin Good Time!

Karlie going for a ride under the water!  Hang on!

Brina going for a ride under the water.  She didn’t relax as much because she was more concerned that Jake could hold his breath longer and wouldn’t come up for air in time.  He did!

This one makes me laugh!  The girls were standing in line behind us chit – chatting.  I am not sure what they were talking about it, but Brina thought it was hilarious!  Love it when the two of them make each other giggle.  Hope they remain great friends their entire lives!

Getting up on the lily pad took some extra energy – it was slick!  Towards the end of the second day Brina was getting tired and chilly so we put a life jacket on her for the last hour.  She didn’t want to stop playing in the water so this was a good compromise!  Resting on the lily pad for a little bit and talking about their day.

Trying to hold on as the lily pad was spinning in circles!  Not sure how they still had the energy and all those giggles left in them, but they were having a grand time!

As we were getting ready to wrap up for the day Brina had to do one more run before we left Great Wolf Lodge.

Karlie trying to smile through the tears!  “I just don’t want to go home Mom, I’ve had so much fun!”   She wanted me to walk around and take a bunch of pictures the last 5 minutes they were open and kept asking me “Mom, are you sure you got enough pictures?  I don’t ever want to forget our time here together!”

Karlie with a big smile as she finally crashed on the trip home.

It didn’t take long before Brina was asleep too.

We had a wonderful time together at Great Wolf Lodge.  On the way home Jake and I figured out  that we spent about 20 hours actually in the water playing!  Considering we were only there for a day and a half we packed a lot of fun into that time.  The girls had a great time and we had fun too.  All of us were exhausted!  Despite Karlie’s fear of not getting enough pictures I think we have plenty to look back on and remember this wonderful trip together.
