A trip to the Great Wolf Lodge

We just got home from a busy and exciting trip to Kansas City to stay at the Great Wolf Lodge. We thought it would be a fun thing to do as a family of 3, before the baby makes his appearance in February! Before heading to Great Wolf Lodge on Sunday afternoon, we met Jerry's sister, Vonny, her husband Joe, and their son, Caleb for lunch at California Pizza Kitchen. Yum! Here's the two cousins being boys!!

We were allowed to start swimming at the waterpark at 1pm, and we were off!

Check out that face! =)

Grayson LOVED the waterslides... the big ones and the small ones.The huge bucket of water dumped over the "treehouse" every 5 minutes... watch out!For dinner, we met my good friend, KC and her husband Jason, and their boys, Leighton and Logan. We ate at Cheeseburger in Paradise, which was really yummy!! Here are all the boys:

Every night at Great Wolf at 8pm, they have story time and their clocktower "comes to life." The kids are supposed to wear their PJs... It actually snowed in the lobby during story time! (Those are the white dots in the picture -- my camera's not acting up!)
The whole place was decked out in wolves and snow =)
Another wolf -- this was a "real" one... well, before it was stuffed. =)We got to take our picture with Rowdy the Reindeer after the snowy story timeAnd, after a long, fun day of swimming and playing, Grayson was out cold! =) We had a great time at the Great Wolf Lodge and we can't wait to go back!

Hi Julie! Remember me? I'm Kim's friend Michelle. I talked to you last at McDonald's. It looks like you all had a great time at Great Wolf Lodge! What a great thing to do during the winter months. I may have to take the boys. They would also love the storytime thing in their jammies. And they love sleeping in hotels - they think it is a real treat! If you send me your email address, I can invite you to my blog (it's set to private).
