The Wrap Up plus GWL Tips

 Here a few random photos from the trip.  On the way down Kingsley was so proud of herself when she told Finn to go to sleep, and he did...

 Kingsley is my little mini-me.  She reminds me a lot of myself as a little girl. It was funny watching six year old Courtney deal with a 3.5 year old Courtney/Tosh. 

Finn and Tosh enjoying the arcade...

 

 Daxton is a sweet kid. Finn was his friend for this moment and it broke Kingsley's heart.

 More arcade time...

   The lobby of the hotel...

 Us heading out...

The last time the Burch crew went to a water park I was a little older than Finn.  Someday I will dig up a photo from that.  We had such a good time and made many special memories.

Tips for GWL: (I highly recommend this if you haven't been. Here are somethings I will pass along)
*take your own bottles of water and snacks to have in the room. It will save you a fortune. Bottle water from there is 3.25 per bottle.  We bought a 24 pack for 3 dollars at a convenience store.
*if you are in a position where you don't have the waters you brought, ask for a cup of water. It is free.
*feed kiddos snacks in the room when you can.
*bring your own alcohol if you wish.  You can take a cooler.
*take to go boxes after you eat.  The rooms have fridges and microwaves.
*go down first thing in the morning.  No lines for the slides. Easy to get a good table.
*hotel check in is 4, but they allow you to go in the water park at 11:00 on the day of your check-in.  Travel in your swim wear and soak up the few extra hours you can get before check-in.
*check-out is at 11, but you can stay until closing at 9 on the day of your check-out. Warning: Chances are you will be too exhausted to take advantage of this. We had big plans but all woke up too tired. Even Finn said "too much swimming."
*relax and enjoy!
