The climax of our week at camp was a full day at Dollywood's Splash Country - an amazing waterpark!
The day was perfect - overcast, so not too hot and not too crowded - and the kids (both young and old!) had so much fun riding rides, cruising the lazy river, playing in the pool and being together.
The best part was that YaYa & PaPa rented a cabana for the day so we had a retreat where we could keep our stuff, eat our meals and take a break if needed...
Our cabana happened to overlook the lazy river:
(this was particularly great when the bigger boys did laps on their own and made sure to check in with YaYa every time they swam by!)
For a good part of the day, the kids played in the kids' park - not too intimidating for the little guys and fun for everyone! I believe the slides were definitely a BIG hit!
Remember that cabana idea? Well it paid off in spades when the boys needed a moment to rest between riding rides and having dinner and low and behold, there was a TV in the cabana!
This is, sadly, my favorite picture - something about the fact that all four of them are totally glassy-eyed and zoned in on cartoons is kind of funny!
They did get a second-wind - and it didn't take long to move 'em on to the wave pool, and more rides!
Absolutely the best day ever - we were the first to arrive and the last to leave and we loved every minute of it!
Thanks to YaYa & PaPa for sponsoring our visit and for watching over the kids while we (the adult-kids!) got to ride the really fun stuff!!! (I have never laughed so hard...)
What a great way to wrap up a fantastic visit - missing "camp" already!
Ambry recognized Splash Country right away! She and Trey were just there with their cousins a few weeks ago! Great pictures and memories! Love the littlest girl cousin!!! She is just too cute! And of course all the boys look like they have such a blast together. Summer is the BEST!!!!
