This past weekend we had the fun opportunity to head up to Great Wolf Lodge near Niagara Falls to celebrate Daryl's Mom's 60th Birthday. We were disappointed that Hope was unable to come with us (especially since we left early Friday morning and were told by my Mom that Hope's green card came in the mail Friday afternoon!!!!) but we knew she would be in good hands at Grandma's house. Julie (Daryl's sister) surprised everyone and flew in from Alberta (her husband Randal was already here for business) so Daryl's Mom had all 6 of her kids there to celebrate with her as well as 2 of Neil's kids. Such a special weekend!!
Samuel loved playing with Alyx in the wave pool! I was in and out of the water park area with Aliyah. It was pretty noisy and crazy in there with not a lot for a 10 month old to do. (And, to be honest, I'm not super fond of indoor water parks! ;)
Aliyah with her Aunt Val (Daryl's younger sister). We are so excited that Val is pregnant with her first baby, due in November!
A happy girl with Mommy's phone!
Grandma and Madison blowing out their birthday candles.
The families all bought/made Mom "60" of something. A necklace with 60 beads, 60 balloons with candy inside (that's what we did!), etc, etc.
Aliyah with her Aunt Danielle
Mom with her 60 birthday balloons!
Grandma with all of her grandkids that were able to make it for the weekend (Ephraim, Noel, Selah, Jordyn, Wilona, Aliyah, Aidan, Seth, Alyx, Samuel, Madison, and Isaac)
All of the kids got a complimentary beaver from Great Wolf Lodge. I'm writing this 18 months after this weekend actually happened (shameful, I know!) and Samuel still sleeps with this beaver!
Everyone eating supper together.
Peek-a-boo!!
Just learning how to do "So big!!!"
Samuel going down the water slide all by himself! Such a big boy. He absolutely loved the water park and had so much fun with his Daddy and his cousins!!
