The Meeces: Sky's 5th Birthday!

Skylar is 5 years old! I can't believe it. I am still in shock :) She is such a sweet, happy five year old, and we are blessed to be her parents!

Her actual birthday was on a Monday, so she played hooky from school and Ty from work, and we celebrated water park style- at Great Wolf Lodge in Williamsburg! We had a little family celebration over the weekend before we left for the Lodge. She got lots of great birthday presents from all of her family and a Super Why (her fav show of the minute) birthday cake that she requested. Savannah, for the first time, got to pick out a present and wrapping paper for Sky and wrap her present all by herself. Her present is the lovely wrapped blue sports paper present in the middle of the table :) She picked out rubber duckies for Sky.

Arriving at Great Wolf Lodge! (Home to a 79,000 sq ft indoor water park.)

Inside our room was a little cabin where the girls got to "sleep".

Sky's new birthday tent...

The indoor, amazing, kids HEAVEN.. waterpark...

We spent Sunday night at the Lodge and got to wake up Monday morning and spend the morning there on Sky's birthday. Our actual night did not go well, but Skylar didn't care- and I think she had a great birthday! It was our first attempt for the girls to ever sleep in the same room- yikes! They stayed up until 10:00 talking, giggling, and getting out of their beds. Which I didn't think was too bad, but then Savannah woke up crying at 3:15 saying it was too dark and then we were all awake in the middle of the night. Skylar decided she was done sleeping and started her day at 3:15 and never went back to sleep! Ty and I each took a couple hour shifts with her until it was a reasonable enough hour to start the day. During Ty's shift- he walked Skylar all over the Lodge. He was taking pictures with her and all of the different cheesy touristy stops in the Lodge. When I was looking at the pictures the next day I had to laugh because it felt like the gag reel at the end of The Hangover or something- Skylar's wild escapade through the Lodge in the middle of the night haha...

The girls got to have breakfast in their pjs and then meet Oliver the Wolf
