The week-end at Great Wolf Lodge was, for the most part, great. Emily discovered the joys of waterslides and spent as much time as I could accommodate climbing up then sliding down. Krissy discovered how to be a kid of five - it took about 10 minutes at the waterpark to get a smile on her face but once there, it stayed all week-end (pretty much). Felicia passed on the waterpark (I think she was self conscious about her body in a swimsuit) but entertained herself with MagiQuest and the arcade (she was, as always, the most expensive to keep happy).
The exception to the fun was Shawn. He came in Saturday night with a bottle of booze and quickly slammed three drinks before we took Emmi to the waterpark. As the night progressed, so did his drinking until he was stumbling around in his underwear swearing and making derogatory remarks. Fortunately Krissy was asleep by then and Felicia was at the arcade, but poor Emily was scared. It was storming outside and that had her nervous but she was more scared of Shawn, opting to hide out in the 'cabin' until he passed out. I am beyond livid at his behavior and I let him know it today (he conveniently has no memory of what he did and said). I pointed out that it would never have happened if the kids had been Weissenbachs. But because they were not just Hunts but Susanna's kids, he felt it was OK to be crude and crass around them. He will not be invited to join our outings again. I have to protect them from that kind of behavior.
And like always, he seems to think all he has to do is say 'I'm sorry. I love you' and all will be right.
Just in time for our vacation weeks. Like usual.
