onto Great Wolf Lodge

After visiting with the cousins we went to Great Wolf Lodge. It was only a 30 minute drive and they let us in early so the kids had a TON of time to play the first day too! This was the main reason for fitting Laura's and mom's into our mini vacation the same week. It was also the reason Ephram didn't come on our trip. I was thinking it would be easier not to bring him to GWL since he gets so cold and doesn't love getting water dumped on his head. But the MAIN reason I didn't bring him was so Braden could bring Caden. The girls did a fundraiser for AHG and got to go with a bunch of the other girls. I thought it would be fun for Braden to have a friend too. I did miss Ephram a TON but was glad that Braden had a buddy too:). They had such a fun time with their friends!




It was surreal not having someone to take care of! There were times when I just sat because all the kids were off playing with friends. It felt very strange and made me miss Ephram more! I'm not used to having empty hands at the pool...but it was really nice to be able to go on slides with brian and the other kiddos.

brian was dragging the girls to get water dumped on their heads!

soon the girls' friends arrived too...they had a blast! kinsey is with Elena and Cailey is with her sister, Gabriella.


After dinner and shower we went back to our room to get ready for story time.

Then after story time in the lobby Brian took the kids to the arcade where they won TONS of prizes for their tickets! They had a blast:).

Sweet Ephram was at Aunt Laura's house for both days and one night where he was doted on by four adoring friends:).
