Birthday Surprise!!!

The Friday after Cade's birthday we picked the boys up from school early. When they got in the car we told them we were taking them to Myrtle Beach for the night to stay in a hotel that had a water park in it. They were super surprised and crazy excited. I wish I would have taken a picture of their faces when we told them :) This is an overload of pictures, but I have come to the realization that I probably will never get my pictures put on snapfish to actually order hard copies of them. So this has to take the place of my photo albums :)

The Dunes


Right outside our room on the 8th floor...I had to take this pic while tripp was getting a different key because he was completely freaked out about the kids standing near this window. Haha, he has a slight fear of heights!


Lyla was happy to help us unpack...


Of course the beds had to be tested out


Little Miss Thing


She LOVED that all over the hotel room (bathrooms and kitchen) there were towel swans


There were two towers and this was the water park under our tower. It had 2 swimming pools, 2 huge slides, 3 jacuzzis, and a splash pad




The submarine in the splash pad



More of the splash pad


This is under the other tower (which was just a 30 second walk from our tower) the lazy river



A kid area, perfect for both the girls


On the deck of the pool was all kinds of stuff, pool, ping pong, shuffle board, gigantic chess and checkers and even a small kid area (not pictured) perfect for Lyla with those beaded things you find in a doctors office waiting room








A couple more water slides


The "teen" pool, the boys spent a huge amount of time here...

















The kids would wait for a huge bucket of water to fill up....


And then dump onto them!


















Wrestle mania








The next morning before breakfast


And we all know what happened shortly after this. Cade went down a slide and knocked his face somehow and broke off part of his tooth




So that cut our trip a little short, we headed home to wilmington and his dentist met us at the office and fixed him right up (you can't even tell which tooth was messed up). Since we were in town we headed to his basketball game and 5 minutes into the game he was elbowed in the mouth and went running off the court. I was worried his new tooth was already knocked out of his mouth, but it was a different tooth, a baby tooth that was already a little lose. Needless to say it was a weekend to remember!!!
