For two weeks we had planned to go to Wild Waves on Thursday. But, unfortunately, after a long day at the beach on the lake and eating perhaps a bit too much homemade ice-cream, Audra threw up 7 times throughout Wednesday night and we had to cancel. We were all super bummed, but we needed a day to just relax. We wen to Melissa's house and watched the new Beauty and the Beast instead (side note: it was really good, but not as good as the original).
The weather on Thursday was 86- basically a heat wave in Seattle. Apparently, WW was extremely crowded and the lines were very long.
I didn't hold out much hope that Friday would be any better- Fridays are typically always busier than Thursdays.
But, the weather was 10 degrees cooler so there was a little bit of help.
With some reshuffling of schedules, we decided to give EV and WW a go.
It was AWESOME!!!!! There were basically ZERO lines anywhere! Just like at the North Pole, we just hopped from ride to ride. Even though the Kanga Bounce was closed for maintenance, we enjoyed the other rides. I thanked Audra and told her I was glad she got sick so we went on the not crowded day. She said, "You're welcome...I just kind-of wish it was somebody else who got sick instead of me." Fair enough!
Even though Lumberjack Falls is much more intense than Splash Mountain, peer pressure paid off and Camille LOVED Lumberjack Falls- though she says she is still scared of Splash Mountain.
But, there was great sadness when we had to say good-bye to the DeCremer's. It was the last time the girls would see them as they are heading off for a road trip of their own tomorrow. Audra was sobbing all night long- she is so sad that she won't see them for a year. These girls got along so well- especially Claire and Makenna who really became two peas in a pod.
More rides were the short term cure:
I didn't get pictures from Wild Waves because I didn't want to ruin my phone, but let's just say we had a great time! I even got to go down the Rapid River- my favorite ride! We probably should have spent more time at the water park- since there were no lines, the slides were a blast to hop back and forth from. I just need Camille to be a little bit older so she can do more than stay in the Pirate's Lagoon.
A memory that I want to sear into my mind is Audra and Camille playing in the wave pool. Audra would hold onto Camille and help her ride the waves. It was so sweet, and made me so grateful that my girls have each other. Siblings are so important and so awesome! It was so neat to see them having so much fun together. My girls really are the best of friends, and I'm so thankful we get to be a family forever!
