Cousins Sleepover at Memaw and Datt's House

For Memaw's birthday this year, she wanted to have a sleepover with her 4 oldest grandchildren (ages 5, almost 4, 3, and 3).  And boy, did she pack a lot of fun times into this weekend!  We started out with dinner at Johnny Carino's, followed by an evening at Wonderland.  The weather was just perfect for an evening outside, too.  They had a great time riding all the rides.  The boats, carousel, helicopters, and cars were fun...

But, this time the Frog Hopper was our girls' favorite ride.  They rode that one over and over and over.

 After riding all the rides we could stand, we headed to Memaw and Datt's house where we dropped the girls off for the sleepover.  They watched a movie until falling asleep in the basement (way past their bedtime.)  But they were up early the next morning and ready for more fun.  Saturday called for a day in the pool.  Memaw had gotten them all some really neat suits with a floatation ring built in, so they could cruise around the pool on their own.  This freedom and independence made their day.  They puttered around the pool all morning long.  Only getting out when we made them stop for lunch.  Bryan and I arrived mid-morning to watch all the fun.

Emma really liked shooting people with the water cannon.

After lunch, we put our girls down for a nap.

After a nice nap they went back out to swim for a couple more hours.  Ella and Emma were so good to come in without complaining when we asked them to.  They rested on the couch and watched a movie until dinner time.

I hope Memaw enjoyed her birthday sleepover as much as our girls did.  They were tired for about 3 days after all that fun, but we all think it was worth it.
