Thanks to Auntie Nicole and
Uncle Ray Ray who took us along with them, we got to kick off the first week of
summer with an AWESOME family trip to Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine, Texas!
For those who have never heard of Great Wolf, imagine this: a water park,
arcade, kid spa, adult spa, restaurants, face painting, shopping, 4D theater,
and more all under one roof. Yes, under one roof... the water park is
INDOORS. Who needs sunscreen? not us!
One fun time of the day was,
bedtime! No not because the little guy went to sleep.... because he
didn't... I had to lay him on me and sing him to sleep ever night.
Bedtime was fun because after bath we could go down to the lobby where
they have a nightly story time for all the kids. Then after the story is
read the kids get to take pictures with the Lodge Friends. I enjoyed
stopping off at Starbucks on our way down and grabbing a night time Latte!
After two and a half days of
family fun we told Auntie, Uncle, Grandma B & Uncle's parents good bye as
they headed back home. While waiting on Daddy to trek out to the car and pick us
up we entered the lego building competition that was going on in the
lobby. The challenge was to build your
favorite animal… I think we made a pretty great elephant!
We decided it would be fun to hang out
in Dallas another day because Grapevine Mills Mall was just down the road. We were not quite as excited about the
shopping (though we did find some treasures) as we were about the Sea Life
Aquarium! Our little guy LOVES fish so
naturally he was head over heels excited about looking at fish for 2 ½ hours.
Happily we managed to
stretch our intended 3 day vacation into 5 ½ days of fun. It was really nice taking the 5 hour drive
home and cutting it in half with an extra night stay which included some pool
time and shopping at the outlet malls.
