Great Wolf!

For Christmas this year, my mom got each of us a gift card to the Great Wolf Lodge for our family to take a weekend trip there together! We loaded up early on Feb.15th and headed to Grapevine to stay the night! After an uneventful trip (which is always a good thing) we arrived just in time to get our wristbands and head to the waterpark. It was massive and packed (sold out actually). We thought going somewhere like that over Valentine's weekend might be a good thing, but it didnt' matter, still packed and crazy. But a blast. The boys were in heaven. They played, and swam, and rode slides, and played until they were worn out (or until the parents were worn out). John was super brave and rode all of the big slides. Braidy rode one and was done. Crockett surprised us all and LOVED the big slides and rode them several times. Quin and Bowen were content playing in the little kid area and occasionally going in the lazy river or wave pool. Between us all, we kept up with the kids and got to have a little fun ourselves as well! 

That night after everyone had their fill of the water park, we ordered pizza, went to storytime and then grabbed some yummy ice cream from the ice cream shoppe downstairs. Needless to say, everyone was exhausted and slept soundly that night!!!

The next morning, we grabbed breakfast (and coffee....there's even a Starbucks in the place, amen!), we hit up the waterpark again. Everyone was moving a little slower this day, but they still had plenty of energy to play and have a ball. After a few hours it was time to clean up and get ready to head home. Lulu bought each boy a souvineir to take home. Braidy, Quin and Bowen all got a "Build-a-Bear" animal that they got to stuff themselves and pick out an outfit (they are slept with every night now!), and John and Crockett got a magic wand that is very cool!

What a fun family trip!!! We had a blast! It was short and sweet, but we made some awesome memories to keep forever! Thanks momma for a wonderful vacation!!! The boys will never forget it!!
