Celebrating #9 at The Great Wolf Lodge!

This Wolf Pack is ready to slide!!

Taking a candy break!

The sugar made them do it!

Even though it was freezing outside, it was a balmy 84 inside!!

She put the crazy into the Crazy River!

Friends who splash together stay together!

Inner tube of craziness!

Lounging on the steps!

Braving the rapids with Chloe!

Birthday dinner - pizza with friends!!

Friends Forever!!

After the water park closed, we had cake in our room!!  I chose it out!!

Besties!

Happy birthday to ME!!

I wanted a corner piece with a candle!

She did too!

We got to slide again the next morning!!

She is a great sliding partner!

Getting ready to brave the rapids alone...

Resting before climbing the stairs to slide AGAIN!

Splashdown!

I loved the water toboggan racers!

She was a speed slider!!

Navigating the lily pads!

She got the hang of it quickly!

Crazy River Rat!

Fun with Friends!!

Water basketball!

Swimming with Chloe!

Chloe's Dad came down the slide with us!!

And to top it all off, I got gifts!!!

I got to celebrate my 9th birthday with a trip to the Great Wolf Lodge.  It is a brand new indoor water park hotel in Garden Grove.  I got to invite two of my friends to come water sliding with me!!  And, the day could not have been more perfect!  We celebrated on May 25th, which is my REAL birthday!  And, it was also the last day of school!  As soon as the bell rang, my friends and I piled into the car and headed to the park for some water sliding!  We spent 7 hours braving all of the cool slides - nothing was too scary for me - I even went on the one where the floor drops out and you go straight down!!  After sliding, we enjoyed pizza for dinner and then had cake and presents up in our room.    We got to go back to the water park the next day as well!  Danni and I waterslided from 10 a.m. until the park closed at 8 p.m.  We were SO tired.  But, it was an amazing birthday!  My ninth year has been incredible so far!!!!

Best birthday ever!!!
