What a weekend we had! Ella turned 6 on Friday! I did my best to convince her to do something other than a big birthday party, and was finding some success when I mentioned we could on a mini vacation as a family and stay at a hotel. Her interest was there, but still the party was winning, I then showed her the Great Wolf Lodge website and changed her mind! Hooray for me! So, after school on Friday we loaded up and picked up Eric from work and headed two hours north and had the best time. The girls loved sleeping on bunk beds and we all enjoyed the waterpark. Ella, who is not a big fan of water in her face, loved the park, but stayed off anything that would spray or splash. Chloe was our daredevil and loved the slides. We only stayed a short time the second day due to Eric's work Christmas party, but looking at the girls at lunch, they had nothing left. They were exhausted! We even had some cousins come down for Saturday to join us, which made the birthday weekend even better! We can't wait to go again, but maybe after Ella can finally pass her level 1 swim class!

Sounds way fun. I am trying to weasel out of doing a birthday party for Sid too. Ella's hair sure is cute. She looks so grown up. It's hard to believe our girls are and will be 6 - geez!
Sounds fun and a lot easier than a party! I don't have to do much of one for Kaitlyn this year, but Ethan is turning 3 in March and needs his own. Oh well you can't win em all!
