julie's big 18!

My "little" sister Julie turned 18 on Friday. It's wierd. I remember changing her diaper. Oh well. Leah and I drove down to help her celebrate and Corinne and Nathan came up from Vancouver, too. It was only the girls that got to go to DQ to get blizzards and french fries, in a true 18th birthday party fashion. Even mom came with us. We had so much fun and laughed so much while we were there. I think the other people there thought we were crazy, but we were ok with that. We decided to take a bunch of pictures and you'll see there is a theme in them, after the first one.
We also stopped by the new Great Wolf Lodge, it's pretty close to where my parents live. It was impressive, they had some really nice features, but they also had some pretty cheezy things, too, like fake trees with faces, alongside a realistic looking wolf. I think they should have just stuck with the realistic animals/plants. The water park that is inside looks pretty nice, too. But, you have to stay there to go inside of it. In the huge lobby area, they have a bunch of couches and coffee tables with games for people to play. We were going to stay around and play a game, but we had to get back home. I think we should have our next family gathering there in the lobby and see if they even notice.

Happy Birthday, Ju!
