Waterpark weekend!

We had a fantastic weekend in Dubuque with Rod & Bonnie and Mark & Angie and kids.  We have gone every February for the past couple years.  It started as a way to celebrate Rod & Bonnie's anniversary, and has stuck as a great family winter getaway.  We headed down Friday night and stayed until Saturday afternoon.

Having gone to the same place every year, it is remarkable to see how the kids grow there.  This year, Charlie was mostly self sufficient, doing slides by himself, etc.  It was his big "growing up" year, and it showed at the waterpark.

Kaylee loves to be right by Ruby, "watching/holding" her.  Ruby loved the water!

Cuteness!

Here comes the big boy, all by himself!

He also went down the tube slide this year and loved it.

Oh Maleah.  She loves floating around the lazy river.

Linde and Layla play so well together!  They were little fishies this year!

A little slide, but it sure gets a lot of action!  Here they all go!

This is so my Layla.  She just frolics about with a smile on her face.

Even though he could go by himself, it was still fun to go with Daddy!

It was a great time together.  The kids are so comfortable in the water, so it makes for such a fun time. 

Our kids are so fortunate to have so many cousins their same ages.  They make the best friends and playmates.
