mini vacation

With Kaleb's birthday this month, valentines day, and Braydan not getting a Christmas vacation, we decided a trip to Great Wolf Lodge was in order. The Dyers, Bates, and Horkleys joined us in the fun.

Dyer girls racing to the pool

We were the first ones to arrive and headed straight for the water, but it took the kids a while to warm up. Actually, every time we went it took them a bit to get used to water spraying everywhere.

They both loved racing down the slides with their friends.

Kaleb ended up loving the wave pool the most. He thought it was so funny getting tossed around and telling us when to jump.

We all took turns watching the kids so we could ride the big slides. The tornado was our favorite again, by far.

I screamed so loud, especially if I went down backwards! Thursday night after swimming, I had major eye problems and went to bed early and missed all the games. So sad! But, Friday was better. I slept with my contacts in and oddly, that seemed to help my eyes. The Dyers brought their Nerf guns so we had fun having battles, arm wrestling, leg wrestling, thumb wars, and last but not least, ape index wars. Yes, Braydan and I are the perfect couple---if you count our ape index :)

Every time Eliza woke up, either from nap or bed, she immediately wanted her "swim swoot"on and she wasted no time in getting ready. Saturday was packed with people everywhere. Braydan and I agreed that we wouldn't come again until our kids could go on the big slides with us and not on a weekend! All in all it was a fun trip. Deep down though, I think I'm not cut out for vacations. I like being home in my own bed, no crowds, my own cooking, no expenses, no stress. My favorite part is visiting and playing games with my friends and that I can do at home. I must be CRAZY!
