Weekend Getaway

We decided to go to Adventureland for a little weekend getaway. The girls had a great time at the amusement park and an even better time at the hotel's swimming pools!

We made the mistake of telling AnLi we were going about two days before we were leaving. She ran and got her "purse" and filled it with money so she could pay to ride the ferris wheel and carousel. She carried that purse around nonstop for two days, ready to go to "Abentureland". Once there, every ride we'd get in line for, she made sure to have her purse with her. I kept explaining that she didn't have to pay for these rides. Finally, about the fifth time of me telling her that, she proclaimed, "Ah, I NEVER get to use my money!" Oh, her time will come!

Carli loved every single ride! She would give her big belly laugh on each ride. She was not scared one bit. AnLi was always excited to get on, but as soon as they started, that was a different story. She always looked like she was going to get sick.

The hotel pool/slide

CHEESE!

AnLi thought the swim-up bar was pretty cool.

Doing a handstand in shallow water doesn't work so well.

Carli going down the slide. She was a little shocked when her

face actually went under water. :)

Carli saw AnLi doing the backfloat and thought she'd try it out. She went over to the shallowest part of the pool to perfect her backfloat. :)

Okay, enough of the baby pool. Let's go back to the big pool again!

The Tea Cups

Carli LOVING the tea cups

AnLi...not so much!

The ladybugs started out great - when they weren't moving.

As soon as it started to go, AnLi looked like she was going to lose it.

Blowing kisses!

AnLi and mom got soaked on the Raging River!


And you can't leave Adventureland without a giant lollipop!
