Great Wolf Lodge...lots of pics!


Last weekend we took a road trip southbound.  We took the girls to Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine, TX.  Of course Aubrey had no idea what she was in for, and really, neither did Molly.  She just thought we were staying in a hotel and that was enough to excite her.

So, Friday we packed up the car and off we went!      


We ate lunch on the road....I caught them both with their mouths full of corndog........

    
    



We have arrived!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anxiously awaiting checking out this incredible place!


In our "Kid Kamp" room and checking it out from floor to ceiling.
The bunk beds were a hit!!




Great view of the outside area...which doesn't normally open until May, but opened the Saturday we were there because of the awesome warm weather.

tickle time in the room

Daddy & lil' sis playing pickaboo

Ready to stretch our legs and check out the place!
Aren't the hallways neat?!? 

There are elevators but we mostly enjoyed the stairs.....


Showing the girls where they get to play the following day....ALL day!

Hanging out in the lobby


We found the arcade!
Pretty sure we probably spent $20 on this ice cream truck during our stay for Aubi. 
She LOVED it!  After the first night, she was even capable of inserting the coins in the small, thin slots to start it!  Anytime we'd walk by the arcade, she'd tug our hand in that direction.  She's a riot!!!


Even mommy & daddy indulged in some game playing too!


Molly Moo!


After the arcade we headed to dinner at the Critter Grill



Show me your wolf ears!!!!




After dinner we were all wanting somethin' sweet so we headed downstairs to check out Bear Paw,
where we found more than we needed!  But it's vaca, right?  Time to enjoy ourselves!!!!!

We took our treats back to the room and enjoyed sharing them.
Daddy got the ice cream sandwich cookie, although Aubster ate most of it......


Molly taking on a scrumdiddlyumptious brownie

my dulche de leche ice cream was to die for.....both times I had it over the weekend!

just enjoying some down time!



Nice view at night

Off to bed they go....


Early risers we all were, headed down to breakfast then we hurried into the water park to get started splashing around!

 



We played for hours, then the little one started wearing down, and big sis had worked up an appetite, so we headed to the room for some lunch....


and patty cake....

Aubi & daddy napped so Molz & I tried out the MagiQuest and did some shopping.


And then off to play more!!






Worn smooth out!


Sunday morning we checked out early, packed up the car, but stayed and played for a few more hours. 
We showered and threw on some clothes and then left our fun weekend destination behind for the next time.

This shot cracks me up.  It was BEYOND bright outside!

On our way out, we stopped at the Rain Forest Cafe for lunch & the girls just loved it!  They were amazed by their surroundings, huge fish tanks, dancing gorillas, and of course the big snapping alligator! 


the girls snacking on some nachos



Molly found the alligator and was mesmerized!


My monkey wanted her picture with the swinging monkey! :)

In the car, homeward bound



We had a TERRIFIC time!!!!  A really great weekend for all of us and we needed it.  Our first FAM'o'4 vaca and it was a success.  A huge one.

Next vaca?  Well, it's strictly mommy & daddy!  We love our babies but we need some alone time too!  Playa Del Carmen in June....counting down the days to lie on this beach......
