The anticipation was worth the wait and it was a wonderful place for our family. The weekend turned out to be overcast and a little rainy but the fun still was rolling at the hotel! 
There was a little kiddie pool with a couple slide-both kids did these at least fifty times over our stay. There was a huge play fort complete with water guns, buckets and at the top two huge slides. I was worried about Brayden going down the first day-turned out even Becca loved them and would come down with a huge grin on her face.
Of course there was a mini-golf course, which Brayden woke up every morning asking to play. Becca got in on the action this year. Neither kids seemed to tire although we did have naps during the afternoon and all kids slept till 9am-a record for this household!
This is the crazy bunch all making wolf faces-Becca just laughs and grins. It was a great place for all of us. We did enjoy a morning at the Kansas city zoo. Very impressive, we were able to see hippo's, cheetahs', gorillas-all up close and with the cooler weather it was a pleasant outing.
This was Brayden, constantly in motion. He litterly ran from one side/pool to another. Becca on the other hand would just prance on her tippy toes when ever she got out of a slide.
This was one slide we could all do together minus Andrea. Turned out they were not too concerned about the height requirements and Brayden actually went down one of the big slides by himself. Becca surprised us and loved the big slides-she is so brave and would just giggle and scream the whole way down.
Andrea would last about an hour then be done with the water. She spent most of her time watching Brayden and Becca come shooting out slides, eating snacks or just being silly. There was a huge outdoor pool as well. It was a lot of fun for the kids even without huge slides. Becca discovered she could swim with a life jacket and would spend an hour just kicking around the pool. Brayden would fun any little boy who liked to jump and then jumped countless times from the side of the pool.
My proud little girl-she would ask to go in the deep pool so she could swim with her life jacket. At one point she decided to just go in the lazy river all by herself. She is such a little independent little thing. Some concerned mother was helping her out when I found her-she on the other hand just has a big grin on her face, "I did it all by myself mommy!" She about melted when I had to reprimand her about not waiting for mommy or daddy.
This is Brayden and Ron waiting for the big water bucket to dump it's load-I think it would about take Brayden's suit off!
The kids loved jumping-even Becca learned it was fun with her life jacket.
Another fun thing was all the basket ball hoops. Brayden needed to be a little taller-kind of hard to shoot when you are about treading water-still he loved trying.
We did get to see some great firework-we were able to get a spot pretty close and if you can believe it, we were actually cold waiting for them to start. Both kids plugged their ears but had a lot of fun-no tears from Becca. Andrea on the other hand decided she need to have a running commentary on the display talking and pointing the entire time. It was a wonderful time away, now it is back to Tulsa.
