I got an amazing deal off Facebook to go to Big Cedar the week of Spring Break, but we started off with Amelia having strep throat. BOO. Thankfully we had many prayers and great medicine and a speedy recovery and we only missed one day of our trip. These two cuties were raring to go on Tuesday morning.
They took a little nap on the way and before we knew it, we had arrived! Once again, I was proud of myself for finding the place and checking us in and unloading a thousand bags. I'm not sure I ever realize that I rely on Ross for this kind of stuff until I am the one doing it. We checked out our balcony and fireplace first thing! Oh, and they had fresh cookies waiting on us, yummy.
Then we rode the shuttle down to the pool. This shuttle stole the show. I mean, really. The girls (especially Elise) LOVED not being in a car seat. They loved waiting on the shuttle and just couldn't wait to ride it all over the property.
Got down to the pool and had a blast. The water was a little cold for me, but we had so much fun swimming together. Amelia even went under several times which is monumental for her! She seemed to really turn a corner on being brave this trip.
We dried off and did some sticker faces and then caught the shuttle to Devil's Pool Restaurant. YUMMY. The girls were so excited and so precious.
An older couple came up to us in the restaurant as they were leaving and commented on how precious the girls were and how sweet they seemed. He said he and his wife couldn't help but notice how well they minded. I immediately felt a lump in my throat and turned into a bawl bag. Such a sweet comment and was just the perfect way to spend our girls day. We went back for a bath and the girls were cozy drying by the fire. It was such a magical day that it would have been worth it even if we had to leave the next morning. All the packing and packing and driving and unloading-- so worth that one day of fun.
Ross came after work and he was just in time to kiss them goodnight!
Fun pictures of great first day on your spring vacay!
