Waterpark Weekend

This year we went back to Grand Bear Lodge in Utica for the third year in a row....but this time we went with my family. We set everything up with Kyle and Heather and then invited my parents along. The kids LOVED it. Gavin was totally in his element and into being Mr. Independent when it came to the slides...there were even tears when we told him he was too little for the big slides. Sydney & Harrison, waterbugs that they are, loved the toddler pool, swimming in the waves and playing with the fountains. Honestly, I feel like our kids were at such a great age this year and really enjoyed themselves.

Can't believe how big this kid is getting.

Grandma & Harrison navigating their way.

Sydney VOLUNTARILY learning to put her face in.

The Yonkers.

Gavin & Grandpa going for a lazy river ride.

Sydney and her main man.

Which is funnier--how funny my mom thinks this is or how Sydney is choosing to ride?

The boys.

Her prime travel position-hilarious.

This girl puts the LAZY in lazy river.

Splash! Splash!

Big stuff going down by himself.

Loving it!

Sydney's turn.

A bit more cautious...or maybe just Mommy was.

The absolute hit of the trip was this slide.

Causing a ruckus.

Big slide down!

Getting close....and biting it at the end, I'm sure.

All by myself!!!

These kids were nonstop--even Syd at the end would stand up, climb up the stairs and march her little hamhock legs up to the top and get right back on (whether you were there to help her or not).

Bathtime.

First rides at the arcade (and ever).

Gavin was loving this.

Carousel ridin.

All smiles.

Syd giving her proverbial stare down.

Harrison mastered Skee Ball.

Learning how to roll.

Learning how to drive.

Gavin's first rollercoaster. Oh. My. Talk about something a Mom can't watch. We were all glad when it was over.

Next day--more pool time.

Boys and babes.

Oh, Sydney. :)
