So much fun!

Well, the kids were definitely surprised. We didn't tell them where we were going until we got there and they were beside themselves with excitement. We didnt really know what to expect until we saw the waterpark area ourselves, but man were we impressed. Words dont really describe it and we are still trying to get pictures to show everyone, but there is a pool, a kiddie pool, a lazy river, 5 big water slides, 3 baby water slides, an outdoor pool, an entire play structure, that has water pouring out everywhere. I could go on!

There is also a huge arcade, 18-hole minigolf, a kid club area for crafts, a spa, a kids spa, and two restaurants.

The kids have had an absolute blast and I am sad we have to leave tomorrow. Zachary and I have been mastering the techniques of getting down the water slide faster, and Corbett and Jordan love standing under the bucket when it dumps. It drops 1, 000 gallons of water every 5 minutes!


Our totally cool room, the Wolf's Den, with a separate kids area!



Hanging with the bear in the Bear Paw Cafe. This place is a sweet lover's paradise!


Not the greatest picture, but it shows you a small part of the waterpark area! This is just the play structure part!



Waiting for story time at the big clock in the front entrance! This happens every night at 8pm and is a lot of fun!

I hope to have more pictures later, but in all honesty we are all having way too much fun to be taking pictures!

Mini-vacation, here we come!

We are headed over to Great Wolf Lodge in Traverse City, Michigan for a three day holiday. The kids know we are going away, but have no idea where we are going, it's a big surprise.

Zachary keeps trying to get me to tell him the details, but I haven't given in yet. Mischa is safely taken care of at Paula's Canine Country Club, where she gets to run around playing with other dogs all day as they have an open access from their kennel to huge fenced in area.

I will try to post some pictures of our trip as we go along, but no promises!

Wish us a safe travel and we will see you all when we get back!

Big fat lip.



Remember these words.

No matter how many times you tell your 2.5 year old "Don't jump from the ottoman to the couch, you might get hurt", they will only learn the hard way.

One more gone!

Well, it finally came out. Tooth number 2 fell out yesterday at the YMCA! The amazing thing is that he already has two grown up teeth coming up in their place. Wow....could Zachary really be growing up?

Here is a picture of the two-less teeth wonder kid!



Yes, the tooth fairy came, and no, she didn't leave anywhere near as much as she did last time!

Corbett continues to grow like a weed and is an incredibly funny kid. By all reports, he is quite advanced in his communication skills, which is usually good, but not as much fun when he is using them to express an opinion that is not conducive to some task we are asking him to do! Most of the time though, he is a fun loving kid!

He is not easy to take pictures of as he is in that stage where as soon as he sees a camera, he scrunches up hs face and ruins the picture, but I got a few the other day of him dancing in my friend's driveway!
