Week Away, Part 4 of 5

As you might have guessed, our week away was spent with the Lawson family. The highlight of our week together was a two-night stay at Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine. I definitely recommend it for vacation, especially if you have little ones. There was lots to do for little ones (and big ones), but most importantly, it was super easy to head back to our room for the kids to take their naps. The first things the kids did when we checked into our rooms was jump on the nice cushy bed!!!
In order to enter the waterpark, everyone over 2 years old had to wear a bracelet. Jake watched all of us putting ours on, and he immediately started pointing at our wrists and whining for his own. Nana saved the day and helped Jake to have one too...
Here we are with our matching bracelets. Jake was so proud to show his off with the fam...
We ate dinner at a restaurant at the Lodge the first night, and they gave all the kids wolf ears. Completely adorable...

The littlest wolf in our pack...
The main attraction at Great Wolf Lodge is their awesome indoor waterpark. Here's a look as you enter...
This is the area where we spent most of our time with the kids. It's shallow enough that Jake was able to walk around on his own, and fun enough to keep both the boys entertained...
These jet skis were definitely Jake's favorite part. He loved riding with Cohen and by himself, and had a blast shooting the water gun at people...


And we can't forget this beautiful water babe...Another neat thing about the Lodge was their nightly story time. They had a performance each night with a permanent puppet type of set that sang and told a story. Following the show, someone would come out and read a book to the kids also. We definitely didn't want to miss, so we dressed the kids in their pjs to get settled for the night. Here we are watching intently...Here's the view of what we were watching. A little hard to see in this pic, but very cool.Thanks Big T and Nana for an awesome time. We loved it!!!
