It was Nana’s birthday, and the Taylor gang came down for the occasion! Yay!
We made letters to create a cool “Happy Birthday” sign.
And we made birthday cupcakes.
And then Nana arrived and we celebrated her latest trip around the sun! Happy birthday, Nana!
Kenji and I celebrated my 10th birthday at the Great Wolf Lodge!!!
There was so much to do there. First, we hit the arcade.
Then we went into the Moonstone Mine and discovered gemstones with a sluice.
Then we went to the waterpark, OF COURSE.
And there were so many other things! A dance party, arts and crafts, gigantic desserts, glow-in-the-dark mini golf, and a magical scavenger hunt called MagiQuest.
It was so freaking fun! I can’t wait to do it again.
The snow and ice melted enough for the Taylor Gang to go home. We built some domino setups before they had to go. I had a super fun time, Kenji!
Kenji and Sakura were supposed to leave today, but it snowed and got really icy. So we got to keep them for an extra day!
It was another amazing day with Kenji and Sakura! We woke up early and hit the ground running.
A little Sakura trivia: she loves the harmonica.
We went to Nana and Papa’s house for an early Christmas celebration.
Then we went home and lit the candles for the fourth night of Hanukkah.
Kenji and Sakura are here! We have so much fun together. And we even got to celebrate the third night of Hanukkah with them!
We spent Thanksgiving with the Taylor gang! A really fun thing we did was make gingerbread houses.
Of course, Kenji and I did a lot of gaming.
And we also just had loads of other kinds of fun because we love having fun!
Finally, enjoy a video of us having the best time ever on a deflating air mattress!
River Canyon Run is my favorite water slide at the Great Wolf Lodge. You sit on a raft with up to four other people and go whooshing down a big slide before landing in a pool. I was really afraid the first time I rode it, but grew to love it. I especially love riding it with Kenji!
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!
