Day 24

Wednesday, July 3, 2013

Since we were up so late last night, we all slept until around 9:00 a.m. before getting up and ready for the day.  We had breakfast in our room before heading out to the water parks.

We started outside since the temperature was still cooler, hoping that the sun would help keep us warm.  We stayed outside for a little while before heading inside.  We swam for about an hour or two before heading up to the room to eat lunch and rest.  Once we were done with lunch, we headed back to the park, hoping that the water had warmed up a little bit.  We went from inside to outside all afternoon, having the best time.  Ally wanted to try another one of the larger slides and really enjoyed it.  She and I went on that slide about two or three more times before the day was over.  She even went back one last time with Melinda!  Melinda was a little tired from all the swimming the day before, so she opted to sit while we walked around the tree house with the girls.  Then we all got into the wave pool for about 30 minutes before heading back outside to get one last swim in the sun.  It was finally warm enough for us to just sit and soak up the sun while we dried off....ah, it really felt like summertime!

We headed back to our room to get cleaned up for dinner.  We ate at one of the restaurants inside the hotel and it was wonderful.  Once we were done with dinner, we headed back downstairs to the arcade so the girls could play some more games.  We started off with the usual games before Abigail decided to spin the pirate wheel.  Wouldn't you know it....she struck it big!!!!  She landed on the 1,000 ticket space on the wheel!!!!  She has the best luck when it comes to games.  We'll definitely be spending her 21 birthday in Las Vegas!!!  Once the machine finished dispensing all of her winnings, we headed over to the ticket counter to have them put onto our game card.  Then, we went to the prize counter for them to pick out what they wanted.  Of course, this took the most time....they're typical girls and can never make up their minds!  They finally made their decision and we made our way back to the hotel room.  Robert even had a little fun with their prizes....

That's what 1,000 tickets looks like
Their loot:  Abigail got a dog on a stick,
a spikey ball, and two tootsie rolls.  Ally got
a fuzzy blue pillow, a blue sparkly picture
frame, and three air heads.  Yah...can you
say OVER PRICED!!!

and Melinda's sunglasses.

Once the girls were in bed and asleep, Robert and I went for a quick drink while Melinda stayed in the room to write her blog.  When we got back, we sat up again and talked for a little while before going to bed.  Everyone was exhausted from all the swimming we had done.  I think we all had a wonderful day!
