So it has officially been 2 months since I've updated this blog. I never thought that I would fall this far behind. I've got some serious catching up to do! Not only have we got 40 something days of school under our belt, but we have managed to work in a mini-vacation. I thought I would start with some pictures from our trip to Wilderness at the Smokies at the end of September. One of the benefits of homeschooling is that we can be flexible in our schedule, so we left on Wednesday after Beckett's enrichment class and spent two nights and three full days playing at this indoor water park. Even though they had closed most of their outdoor water activities, they did open the lazy river and wave pool on Friday afternoon. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed our time outside! Here is a picture of all three kiddos in the pool!
Helen and Will enjoying the slide in the toddler pool area!
Will loved being in the wave pool!
Beckett absolutely LOVED this place. He decided that he would live at Wilderness at the Smokies if he could. There is no telling how many times he climbed the stairs to go down the water slides! Too fun!
I was amazed at how much time Will spent just snapping the buckles on his life jacket. This truly entertained him quite a bit which was good because he had to wait around a bunch while Sean and I rode the water slides with Beckett and Helen!
This is a picture of the tubes (from outside) that we rode inside the water park. Yes, you go around and around that big mega-phone looking thing. It was not my favorite, but I rode it a couple of times with Sean and Beckett. I found it to be quite scary!
A picture taken from a balcony looking down into the indoor water park. That is a wave pool to the right and the stairs to the big tube slides is to the left. There is another pool on the left that dumps big buckets of water and also a surfing pool where crazy people can try to body surf. We saw many people wipe out and it had to hurt! That is Helen right in the middle and Beckett up in front of her. We were the first to arrive when it opened and we closed it down at night!
We went to Gatlinburg for dinner one night and ate at Bubba Gump's! It was yummy!
Cute place!
So, that is one of the many things we have done in the last two months! I'll try to update in a few days to catch up on some other goings on at the Harper Hullabaloo!
