The Kalahari!!

We had an awesome time at the Dells!! Venily had a blast and I was so scared that she wouldn't really like the waterpark! She kept asking "Water? Water?" whenever we were back at the hotel room b/c she wanted to go back, lol! This coming from a girl who HATES baths and will freak out if even a drop of water trickles down her face when I'm rinsing out her hair, lol! She was walking around the kid's areas all by herself and if she went under, we'd help her back up and she wouldn't even care! She was even going down little waterslides all by herself and went down a big waterslide with Me and Aunt Lisa!! And even though she had zero expression when we got off, lol, she instantly wanted to back down again!

The Kalahari also has a whole new area that's an indoor amusement park and Venily had so much fun there too! She went on her first Ferris Wheel rides and carousel rides and there was a GIGANTIC kids' area that she absolutely loved! Her new favorite thing is definitely slides! She just wanted to keep going up and down the slides forever and ever!! :) She even went down some big ones all by herself! I have some videos and will try to put them up later!

She made friends everywhere she went and really seems to like little girls that are a couple of years older than her! She went up to so many kids and would wave and say "hi" and smile at all of them. We were walking down the hall and she even ran up to a girl and said "hand?" and held her hand and walked down the hall with her, it was so cute!! There was another little girl who asked if she could hold Venily and after saying no and that Venily was too big to be held, she put her in her lap anyway and Venily did NOT want to get up! HAHA! I'd pick her up and ask her if she wanted to go back down the slide and she'd just say "no" turn back around and sit right back in the little girl's lap again!! Then she followed her around until the little girl had to go eat! The little girl said that Venily wanted her to be her big sister, lol!

Venily also loved all the animals (real and not) all around the Kalahari. Since it's African themed it had a lot of her favorite animals everywhere she went. She absolutely loves elephants, lions, monkeys, and kangaroos!!

And it was sooooo nice to have my sister there and have 3 adults to 1 Venily b/c we really needed it, lol! I honestly believe that Venily has the energy of 10 kids her age! I don't know what we're going to do next year with another little one!! We'll have to see when the time comes if it will physically even be possible!
