Oh My! Oh My! Oh My!

After we attended a Remembrnc Ceremny we packed up our bags and headed south. Across the border to GrndFrks, ND.


Who can say no to these faces? Apparently not Grndpa Trry. 'A' mentioned that he didn't like Grndpa's truck because it had no t.v. So....Grndpa Trry ran out and bought a t.v. for his truck. Whew! That was close, they almost had to amuse themselves for a moment or two...hahaha


The boys loved the cart trolley/troublesome truck. But nothing surprised them more than the kids sleeping area in our room that had DOUBLE bunkbeds(an item that has reached iconic status since E saw them first in his friend I's trailer). It was quite a big hotel room and the price was reasonable. Easily two families of four could fit in this room.

The best of the best however was the waterpark inside the hotel. The water was shallow, two feet deep at it's deepest. A couldn't wait to go to the splishsplash.

All of us, except the old guy, went down these little yellow slides into the kiddie pool.
Then we decided to take a chance and go down the much bigger slides. E and A loved these. We went down several times. It was cool because at the bottom of the slide you end up in only a few inches of water so there's no danger of going under.

After sliding, A started to turn blue from the cold(although the water was warm) and we went upstairs for a bath and a play and then bedtime. But in the morning.......................

...back to the slides. After doing all the ones we did the night before we figured, hey, the kids are brave and we are willing, let's try the giant tube slide. Seriously. You can see in the pic how high it is. You go down a tunnel and get spit out into the big circle thing, you go around a couple of times and then get spit out the bottom. We likened it to a toilet. A did it once with GrndmDerdre but he didn't like it. Too fast and too dark in the tunnel I think. But E?! He could not get enough. He made us keep going over and over. We finally had to drag him out of there after about three, "One more times". That surprised me because he's normally such a chicken. Who knew??

But then we did have to head back to Canda. So here we are. We had a blast. A did not want to leave the hotel and has already asked if he can go back to the splish splash. I wonder what tomorrow will bring?
