Wilderness Weekend

We have been very luck the past two years with illness. So When Jamison came home from school with a fever of 104° we invested in some IB/Tylenol and buckled in. Peter was soon to follow but within 48 hours both fevers broke. THEN, two days later, Peter has a fever again!. Strep has been in his class room since day 1...so my mommy instinct kicked in and brought him to the dr. Sure enough, Strep. bummer. Luckily we have been able to keep it to only him. When he returned to class...we learned the class now has pink eye....man, i hope we dont get that!
ANYWAY, We were lucky to get on the meds and head to the Wilderness Lodge for an awesome weekend with the ladies. It was a good thing that ladies called on friday...because we all thought that is wilderness weekend was the 18th....YIKES! so we packed quickly and headed out for a great weekend!

We arrived at the lodge all ready for some water fun. Both boys are officially tall enough to go on all the slides themselves. The water on the body slide was too cold for Peter's scrappy body so we enjoyed a few rounds of the lazy river and then he wanted to wrap up in a towel. So we did. With in 10 minutes Peter was out like a light....I guess he does not have all his energy back. After taco we got into our jammies for the classic "kids in a tub" photo. It never gets old, at least for the adults.

Jamison and Pat hit the Hurricane...waited the hour to do it, but Pat had an awesome time watching Jamison's face in shear horror. Jamison claimed that he loved the ride and was super proud of himself that he did it! So much he had to take the photo of it.

This year we also made it to the Water Dome with the largest wave pool in the country. At first the boys thought this would be boring, and then the first set of waves came. We spent the rest of Sunday morning there! They had a blast! Pat and I played man-on-man when the waves came. Our goal, is not have the boys trampled by the wave riders. I think Peter was getting a little annoyed with me because I would catch him when he got launched from his innertube...and we would call out...."Im fine!" and then overcome by another way, struggle to get up, sream "Im fine" and then get knocked down again.

 We had to visit our friendly bear on our way to the ball pit and climbing gym. Soon the boys will be taller than he is.

The annual group photo...you think they liked each other....you know, they could stand closer.

Jamison insisted that I include this picture....you can see his six-pack abs. Thanks Lily and Lucy for another great wilderness weekend!
