We left the day after school was out to Grapevine, Tx to stay at the Great Wolf Lodge. My dear friend and sorority sister, Rachel and her family met us there for our annual summer meet up somewhere fun! Last year, we went to Sea World!
The hotel is like a resort with a HUGE indoor water park and decorated like rustic, wooded campground. The kids really loved their bunk beds in the room!
We spent most of our days at the water park, only taking a one hour break for lunch and dinner! The kids had an amazing time. Water slides were the hit of the trip. Both our kids are dare devils and were only restricted by height for some of the slides. This green and orange slides were by far the favorites. Clayton rode them for at least an hour at a time. The lifeguards were laughing at him and his persistence!
This picture was the ONLY time I could get them to slow down long enough to take a picture together.

Clayton and Russ
Brinley really enjoyed riding the "big" slides with Jason (Clayton was too short). I even rode the slides with her one day...no pictures to prove it though :-(

Before we headed home, we treated Brinley to a pedicure at the kid's spa. She was treated to a robe, tiara, and a scoop of ice cream. She was so excited and loved every minute of it!
The hotel also had an arcade, which we went to every night after dinner. The kids favorite ride was this roller coaster simulator. It moved, dropped and vibrated them all over the place.
Great Wolf Lodge was an amazing place to stay and play. The kids are already asking when can we go back!
