Thanksgiving at Splash Universe!

This year, the Thomas family decided to spend our Thanksgiving time together at Splash Universe in Dundee, Michigan. It is a water park attached to a Holiday Inn. We all decided to go away for the holiday to help celebrate more than just Thanksgiving... we were also celebrating Bud and Eileen's (Papa Bud and G.G.'s) 60th wedding anniversary! Even though it won't officially be 60 years until May '10, we all agreed that now was a better time than this spring (with a baby on the way for Brittany and a wedding to plan for Maely). We all met in Dundee on Saturday around noon and the fun began! Putting on our swimsuits, we all ventured down to the water park for some fun in the pools. There are many water slides as well as a kiddie pool and a lazy river. Only 3 of us didn't get our feet wet (Nola, G.G. and Papa Bud). I think everyone else had a good time in the water and even baby Jill got her suit wet! On Sat. night, G.G. and Papa Bud had decided to renew their vows. We also celebrated Lexi's birthday. She opened Handy Manny's toolbox from uncle Benny, a Tinkerbell costume and movie from aunt Brittany and uncle Matt, some cool coloring/wipe off pages from great aunt Ruby and uncle Don, and a Dora backpack full of goodies from G.G. and Papa Bud. After eating pizza and many other goodies (we all brought something to munch on) and of course some game-playing , we all turned in for the night. Lexi and Kaity even got in another quick swim on Sunday before we all left for the trip home. We had some quality family time and I hope everyone enjoyed the weekend. See you all again at Christmas!
P.S. I will post pictures in the next day or two. Baby Jill is trying to get teeth and I don't have the time now!
