Great Wolf Lodge!

This past Monday we took a "mini" vacation to Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine. It was so much fun! They have a huge indoor waterpark and outisde pools and slides. However, the kids favorite things were by far the "wolf den" that was their special place to sleep in the hotel room and the "show" at the clock tower in the lobby that they do every morning and night. It was so nice to have daddy around a few extra days and Kaden was glued to his side! :) This is our 3rd family trip and we again went during the time that school has started. This trip just reminded us even more of why we do that. There was no one at the hotel while we were there. It was wonderful! Nick and I both decided we will just pull our kids from school for a few days every year to go on family vacations; it is so nice not to have to wait in line for anything and we had whole sections of the waterpark all to ourselves at times.

Kaden and Presleigh playing on the top bunk in their wolf den!

This was so cool and Kaden LOVED it! Our room had this special room just for kids and Kaden slept on the top bunk and Presleigh slept in her Pack' n Play right next to the bottom bunk. The wolf den was painted all over with pictures of girl and boy wolves.

Loving our wolf den!

Our attempt at a family picture in front of the clock tower in the lobby. :)

Sweet Presleigh Joy passed out in daddy's arms and getting love from her brother! This was at Chick-fil-A. We had skipped PJ's nap b/c we got there and she was ready to play so we didn't make her rest. However, on the way to get dinner she passed out. She just couldn't make it. :)

Our "pink" and "blue" wolves ( as they referred to themselves) watching a little "Dinosaur Train" pay per view before bed.

Presleigh's favorite slide!

Swimming!

Presleigh Joy!

Going down the slide......

Kaden going down the blue slide, his favorite!

So FUN!

Nick got Kaden to ride those big slides that you can see at the top. They even went outside and then winded back in. Kaden was very hesitant but loved it once he did it!

Eating lunch in their favorite place!

This picture was taken with Violet the wolf. Initially Kaden did not want to get his picture taken with her b/c she was too "girly" but then changed his mind and decided a picture wouldn't hurt. Presleigh liked her from a far!
