Oh before I get there we had our first batch of stitches. Jake walked behind a baseball bat. Pretty sure he and JP will pay more attention in the future. Unfortunately Brian and I were out of town at the time. So poor Meegan had to take Jake to the ER. I think she was more upset than Jake! But all was well, he got 3 little stitches and is good as new. He was kind of sad and then I told him Uncle Johnny did the exact same thing except it was a golf club. He perked up and said "Really? I am just like Uncle Johnny?"
As I was talking to the doctor on the phone he said he couldn't go in pools for 2 weeks! I instantly thought how far away is spring break?!? 3 weeks...phew! Because we were headed to Wilderness of the Smokies! But first we celebrated Easter. And managed to get a decent picture. SOOO much easier to make them smile when you say "as soon as you smile we will go to the waterslides!"
So we arrive in Tennessee and we are off to the waterslides. A little cold the first day, and it rained day 2 & 3. But Wednseday and Thursday were beautiful!
Look how excited everyone was! There was something for everyone. There were big waterslides, wave pools, hot tubs, and lots for Grace's age too! And she had a ball going down this slide over and over.
At night we went to the arcade and they also had a ropes course and rock wall. Oh my gosh my kids are fearless! Grace played in a tree house thing while Julianna and Jake did rock climbing. Then they went to the ropes course. I can't believe how high they were. Jake was kind of scared at the beginning but pushed through and did the entire thing. Julianna did the high stuff and then got a little scared and got down.
The next day Julianna was begging to do the rock wall again because she didn't climb to the top. So I took her and actually climbed with her. I don't really mind heights but geez it was a little scary to jump down! And she went all the way to the top! How amazing is she?
Then we had to do the ropes course again. And she was a pro. Got a little scared at the end...I think because she didn't want to go down! It was lots of fun!
Our final day was beautiful and we hit the outdoor waterslides. There is one that has a tube Grace could go down so that was fun. She gets in the raft and the instant you go through the tunnel she screams...the entire way down. Bell took her down the slides and we knew when they were coming. It was too funny. Then she would get out and say "I do that one more time." No one says no to Gracie-Grace!
Fun times with our BFF's! We are hitting the beach with the Decker's in July, can't wait for another "relaxing" adventure!
