Great Wolf Lodge...

 For Jocelyn's 4th birthday, Shannon decided to do something "big" for each of the girls this year.  Shannon and I were planning on a day around Hickory, going to the Science Center and Kool Park.  We started out with Firehouse Subs and headed to Science Center, but unfortunately it was closed on Mondays.  We decided to head toward the pool, but it was incredibly hot and we were afraid of keeping Phoebe outside that long, plus, it was super busy that day.  We decided the best way to enjoy the day was to find a place that had an indoor water park...we ended up at Great Wolf Lodge.  It was so much fun! The big girls had a blast! 

 Jocelyn going up to the water slides by herself.

 Down she comes all by herself.  She was so proud to be able to go without help.  She wanted to go down the bigger slides, but she is a little too short to go quite yet.  Hopefully by next year she will be able to go like Daphne.

 Daphne going down the slide too.

 Playing in the smaller water park

 

We got pizza for dinner to enjoy in the room.  We watched American Ninja Warrior, and Jocelyn has fallen in love with that show.  She keeps telling us she wants to train to be a Ninja Warrior!

 Sleeping on the pull out couch.  They were still so excited.  It took awhile for them to go to sleep, but their exhaustion won in the end.

 She wanted to take a picture outside of the water fall.

 The big girls next to the big wolf.

 Silly faces.  This makes me laugh.  Tiff brought a stack of old pictures of us in high school/college.  There is not a picture in that stack that I'm not doing something silly, making a silly face, or being absurd.  The girls get it honest!

 Since we were at the lodge for Jocelyn's birthday, they gave her an extra bracelet that gave her a free ice cream.  She wanted "ice cream dots" with her bracelet. 

 Daphne had some too

Phoebe was adorable in her little swim suit.  She didn't get in the water except her toes because of her umbilical cord.  She slept most of the time while mommy carried her around to watch the big girls swim and play.
