On Friday afternoon and Saturday we had a wonderful time at the Wilderness Lodge.  Matt's parents and his sister, Leia, arrived a little while after we did on Friday afternoon.  We had reserved a suite that would sleep up to 10 people.  It was great!  There were two separate adjoining rooms.  One of the rooms had a nice kitchen, living room/bedroom area and bath and the other one had a bedroom and bathroom.  The girls were so excited about the loft.  Abbie kept trying to sneak up there without any help and that was a little scary.  Sophie thought she might want to sleep up there but when the time came, she didn't want to anymore.  I should have taken more pictures at the water park but we were too busy having fun and trying to keep up with everybody.  The indoor area had a wave pool which both girls loved, a kiddie area with swings, a small slide, and the teeter totter, etc, another big kiddie area with spray play areas, fountains, and smaller slides, and then several big slides that were so much fun!  They also have a big hot tub area and a couple of outdoor pool areas.  The outdoor pool area had a lazy river.
