We got there right after it opened. Stayed all day in a cabana. We left after it closed. We were all too busy riding waterslides to get very many photos. Grabbed dinner at Buc-ees on the way back. Both girls fell asleep for most of the 2 hour car ride.

Our friends invited us to their cabin in Wisconsin for the weekend. We did a lot of boating, eating, drinking, swimming and ice cream eating. Emma also did a ton of paddleboarding. She loved it so much that we're getting her one for her birthday. I was pretty
