Great Wolf Lodge

 What a fantastic place.  We had such a great time as a family.  It was so nice to just relax, swim and snack.  The water park is amazing.  And Oma Hitchcock sent a wand for Kausten to play the scavenger hunt at the Lodge.  He had such a wonderful time swirling the wand around opening all the chests and making the jewels glow.  He was a little scared of the bear on the wall that talked.  Almost pushed me down the stairs to get away from it.  The only bummer is the big howling tornado water slide has to have two people at a time...so Jeremy didn't get to experience it.  But Kausten did ride some of the other waterslides with him.

A little dippin' dot snack.  I love those things . . . and my new favorite is birthday cake.

What a great brother . . . sharing some dippin' dots

Thanks OMA! ! !

How cute is she.    I just can't get enough of her and her sass.

Fort Mackenzie.  So AWESOME ! ! !

So Stinkin' Cute. 

Oh mom . . .  I just want to swim

She has no fear.  Thank goodness for life vests

by the end of the day she was kicking all over the pool.  She even figured out how to kick until she bumped into something and then would grab hold and right herself.

pure Joy!!

Thank you Jeremy for suggesting such a great weekend.  I love you so much ! ! !  Even if you did push Kausten down the waterslide. =)
