I am officially a First Grader! I was so excited for school to start, to meet my new teacher and to meet new people. I will admit that I was a bit nervous that some of my friends would not be in my class but mommy reminded me how much fun it is to meet new people. I was also a bit bummed that Mrs. Safko would not be my teacher again this year because I absolutely LOVED her but so far Mrs. Whitehead seems pretty awesome too.
Not long after school started we had a great adventure as Maddox will tell you about below. I loved going to the Zoo but the water park was amazing! Sadly (to my mommy at least) I am a solid enough swimmer that she allowed Brody and I to explore on our own which meant that we could ride whatever water slides we wanted to! One time I really made my mommy proud when Little Lilly went missing (she had a tendency to run off without telling people). Miss Andrea had put me in charge of watching the 3 young kids for a few minutes while she took Owen potty. Well, one minute I turned around and Lilly was gone! I didn't panic, I went straight to a life guard and asked for help. Within seconds he recruited a group of people to track her down. Mommy and Miss Andrea were all gushing over it... using big words like "responsibility" and "maturity"....
Maddox:
Last week daddy and Mr. Jimmy went on a hunting trip together. This is a new thing for daddy as he is trying out archery for the very first time. Well, mommy and Miss Andrea had a great idea that when the dads are gone we should have some fun too! So, one morning they loaded us up into the Oppelt Suburban, all 7 kiddos, and we headed on a road trip! For having 7 kids in the car we really did great though our biggest struggle was who got control of the devices. Miss Andrea did a great job passing out snacks to keep our bellies full and we were in Portland in no time. We made a couple hour stop at the zoo in Portland to stretch our legs before making our way to the final destination.
None of us had ever been to the Great Wolf Lodge before so we didn't know what to expect. We had one big hotel room for all of us which was great fun! The water park was amazing, with a huge wave pool, multiple sections for little itty bitty kiddos like me and we even had some big slides to ride. Emma, Lilly, and I played for hours and had a blast! We definitely wore ourselves out and got our money's worth at the park. I can't wait to take Daddy back so he can see how amazing it is too.
