Well, even though I was anxious to "blog" again, the technology refused to cooperate. But after some login/password frustrations and a message that this blog didn't exist :-( I'm once more up and active.
Just returned from an overnight at Great Wolf Lodge with three of our grandchildren. What I learned: they are thoroughly adoreable, quite smart, fun to be with, they keep you young, and they can talk you into making a fool of yourself on a water slide!
As my son said, Mom, I couldn't never get you to go into the water...ah, but the grandkids did! I even overcame the reluctance to buy a bathing suit again - another major hurdle. Today, Alex insisted I go on the yellow water slide - he called it the small yellow slide. I had watched my daughter yesterday and it really looked like she came down quite controlled and what I would call a manageable speed. Well, at the top of the slide, I told them I thought I would just go back down and wait to catch them in the water. Alex promptly looked disappointed and said I promised I would go down. Caught!
So, down the shoot granny went. Only, somehow my descent wasn't controlled or manageable. It shot me at an amazing speed out into the center of the pool and cast me under the water quite unexpectedly. I had some trouble getting my footing - and the lifeguard seemed to be standing by when I recovered. Oh my.
But all in all it was great fun and in granny style, I'd plunge in once more to see the delight on their faces.
