Grizzly Jack's

So I've been so bad at posting....no motivation so I am pulling the trigger and finally getting at it again. We've been so busy with lots going on..

A few weekends ago, we went with some friends to Grizzly Jack's Grand Bear Lodge in Utica, IL which is an indoor waterpark about an hour away. It was so much fun. It was a very cold weekend but we had lots of fun playing in the water indoors. Of course, just like last year, Gavin LOVED it....his interest in the slides this year was not as much as last year but he just loved being in the water. In fact, when we had to leave on Sunday, there were tears. Poor guy. Lauris (Thomson) and Jackson (Agema) also loved being in the water. It was so fun to watch them all experiencing the dips and splashes of the waterpark. Syd enjoyed being lulled to sleep by the loud noise and humid air everytime we entered the park. As adults, we loved playing with the kids but also loved playing with the adults after they went to bed. :) Very fun weekend.

Such a trooper.

My baby boy is growing up...floating down the lazy river solo, what!?!?

Playing in the "BIG" waves (gavin's fav word for them-big!)

Another ride...same result....the small size is deceiving, the crash is inevitable.

Moms & our "babies"...minus Sydney.

Watch the progression...Gavin & Jack playing in the fountain.

Jack either pushing or using Gavin as leverage.

I love his excitement when the waves came!
