Last night, we ate pizza and stayed up late. Then we were up early for another day at the Great Wolf Lodge!
We started the day with some morning yoga.
Then it was time to hit the wave pool.
And, of course, we had to hit my favorite water slide, River Canyon Run.
It was an amazing weekend celebrating Kenji’s 6th birthday and we had so much fun!
For Kenji’s 6th birthday, he had a party at the Great Wolf Lodge!!! That’s one of my absolute all-time favorite places.
They have an arcade, which I looooooooove.
They have a wave pool, which Kenji loooooooooves.
And there are lots of activities, like…storytime…
…exploring the Moonstone Mine…
…and finding gemstones at Oliver’s Mining Company. Stay tuned for Day 2!
Hey! Did I tell you that Nana and Papa moved here?? Well, they did! And Kenji and I visited their new house for a fun Easter egg hunt!
I’m 9 years old! Here’s my birthday morning stash.
I love the Roblox game, Build a Boat for Treasure. Nana and Papa got me a gift card to buy Robux, the game platform’s virtual currency. Here is me trying to calculate how many Robux I can buy…
…and how much gold that Robux will get me…
…and me realizing, that’s a lotta gold!
And then I immediately went to my computer to buy new pieces for my boat. Happy birthday to me!
It’s Christmas, and here I am patiently waiting and smiling.
Now let the present opening begin!
Among many awesome things I got, like games, clothes, books, and fake poop…I also got this rocking chair that should keep me pretty busy.
Weeeee! Thank you, everyone!
Oh, and here is Finley just relaxing…
…And Sunnie curious about Finley’s Christmas present.
Nana sent me a pack of cookies, frosting, and other goodies so I can decorate my very own Christmas cookies!
Sometimes you have to take a little sampling of the frosting just to make sure it’s good…
Then you very carefully add the little sprinkles…
And then it’s time for a taste test…
Pretty good!
Thanks, Nana!
We celebrated every night of Hanukkah, but the true test is the 8th night, where I light allllll of the candles. Look at that focus.
I nailed it!
Thank you, Grandma and Grandpa, for all of the awesome roller coaster layout maps, the Katie Woo books, and…
…this super cool roller coaster!
I will ride it everyday. Here are my views, on and off the track. Happy Hanukkah!
It was raining and dark. But I wanted a Christmas tree. So we went to our regular place, Shannon’s U-Cut and, as usual, I picked the perfect tree! (I also checked out the prices – we got a 6 ft douglas fir.)
Because we’re also in the middle of Hanukkah, we saw this giant inflatable menorah on our drive home.
Once we set up the tree, I got right to decorating. Now for those presents to start rolling in…
Another Halloween, another huge haul of candy! This year, I dressed up as a roller coaster!
Kenji and I went to Wild Waves Theme and Water Park! I was sooooo excited!!! The first ride I went on was The Wild Thing roller coaster. It had a vertical loop and two corkscrews. It was great, and also my first Arrow Corkscrew.
Then I went on Timberhawk: Ride of Prey, an S&S Sansei wooden coaster. It was so fun, I went on it 3 times. It’s my new favorite coaster!
Here’s Mommy and I riding in the front row before our first ride.
Here’s a video of my off-ride reaction!
After riding the 48″ and up rides, I found Kenji in the water park and he came with me to ride some more rides!
His first ride there was Kiddie Coaster, a Zamperla Tornado powered coaster, one of only four still operating in the world.
Then Kenji rode with Daddy on the ferris wheel.
We also went on what I believe is the worst carousel in the world.
But Frog Hopper was so fun!
So was Red Baron! I’m flying in the red bi-plane and Kenji is in the white one behind me.
That’s a wrap on Wild Waves. It’s my new favorite amusement park I’ve ever been to!
