Great Wolf

 I was able to find a great deal on Groupon for Great Wolf Lodge so we decided to surprise the boys with an overnight stay to begin our Easter holiday.  They thought we were headed to Gainesville, then we pulled up to Great Wolf.  Jake looks at the sign, and says, "Great Wolf Lodge?"  I asked him, "What do you think we're doing here?" to which he replied "we're here to go to the bathroom."  I then got out of the car to check us in and Jake said to Kevin, "Daddy, are we really supposed to be here?"  Clearly, he was surprised and surprising our kids like this is not something we do often.  Once it finally registered, he was so excited.  We truly had so much fun!  We took advantage of every minute we had in the water park and the boys LOVED it!  We all loved going round and round in the lazy river, jumping through the waves in the wave pool, and shooting water on each other.  Jake got to ride every ride and Luke even went down some slides and loved them!  This one night trip was truly great and worth the splurge!  With all the water fun, I don't have many pictures, but here's just a few of our cute little wolves...






Arboretum

 Papa and Granmama gave us a family membership to the Dallas Arboretum, and we've already used it many times and had so much fun!  The first visit was just Jake and I, and we loved it so much, Jake brought Daddy back the next day.  The children's garden is like an outdoor children's museum and is so beautiful while being so fun!  Here's some pics of Jake on his adventures...







 We also got to bring along Channing and Campbell with us one time, and we've met friends there too!  Too much fun not too share!




Cousins!

 Living in Richardson means more cousin time, and we all love that!  S'mores on the back porch...
