Great Wolf Lodge

after story time at the clock tower

taken on my phone this is right before we went to the water slide... ready!

the best part of the hotel room- besides the bunk beds with wolf--is on them.

checking out the slides.

3 minutes into the car drive home. i love how they both have their animals. We decided to take the boys to Great Wolf Lodge. Beau was in heaven... Leland had a lot of fun too but even though we think of him as a dare devil, he found the water park overwhelming. In the beginning, he was saying 'go home' over and over again to me but by the next day he would clap and say 'fun'. Leland likes the 'chuckE cheese' (says Beau) arcade room the best because he loves electronics. We had a little bit of a rough night followed by an excruciatingly early morning with Beau who was so excited he couldn't stand it but other than the exhaustion Ryan and I continue to feel ;) watching the boys have so much fun was awesome. Beau was given the 42" bracelet so he could go down big slides (he barely qualified) and at one point we were on this huge raft ride with his little body flying up in the air as he held on to the handles and he looked me in the eye as we turned another curve and he says 'you have to be tough' with a super serious look on his face and then he said 'close your eyes Mama...there's going to be a big splash." So funny! Leland squealed and clapped for Beau and Ryan and I marveled at how much the boys enjoy each other and how well they play together. We are finally getting to the 'manageable' stage of the last 4 years and what blessings we have in these wild, fun, sweet little naughties.
