We celebrate Annie and Josiah's birthday together since they both have January birthdays. This year we decided to try the Great Wolf Lodge. This turned out to be a great choice! We left Josie with a babysitter for the night so we could just spend quality time with Annie and Si.
We checked into the hotel around 5:00 and then headed to Outback Steakhouse for dinner. It was yummy! Nathan and I split a steak dinner and we ordered a couple of appetizers to share with the kids. Then we headed to the hotel to get ready for the waterpark.
Annie obviously enjoyed herself :-)
The Warm Pool! This is where we spent the majority of our time. It felt great.
Our little swimmer Annie! Both of my kids are excellent swimmers; they have to get the from their daddy.
I got the kids both a little present in honor of their birthday celebration.
When we got back to the room, I had some fun planned for us. I had brought a couple of games to play as a family; Twister and Charades.
We had snacks of Pringles and Doughnuts.
This trip was full of priceless memories.
The kids slept in the Wolf Den in our room. They thought this was the coolest thing. I thought it was pretty cool myself :-)
We'll never forget our special room at the Great Wolf Lodge.
Josie joined us the next day for some water fun. We missed her but had a blast doing things that we can't do when she is there.
The kids loved this snake in one of the pools. We played on this for hours.
My handsome little swimmer.
I am so thankful for the opportunity we had to share this time as a family. We will never forget it.
We ended our birthday outing with story time in the lobby at the lodge. Then we headed to one of our favorite eating establishments, Viva Tequila. I think we have decided to do this every year from now on for the kids birthdays. It was a blast!
