short stay-cation

Since school is around the corner and both Sam and I are going on trips in September, we thought a quick family vacation was best. And by quick I mean one night...a little over 24 hours. But we had the best time and got so much done! 

{disclaimer: All pictures were taken with my iphone... didn't feel like hauling the big one. Got some great shots but most are blurry. Hard for little iphone to adjust to fast boys!}

This was our first Great Wolf Lodge experience and I was very impressed. The slides and pool depth was PERFECT for the boys.

VERY blurry but had to show off their favorite part of the hotel. RUNNING down the long hallways. Henry would giggle so hard he'd fall over. 

We arrived and headed straight for the pool. 

Gotta take a sucker break. 

 We ended up swimming for 4 hours straight minus the 20 mins we took to eat a snack. The boys had a blast!

We got cleaned up and headed to a T-Bones baseball game. The promotion was Kids Eat Free! Ummm.. baseball, beer and free food for kids. Yes please!

First cotton candy experience at 3 yrs old!

Not sure how other families do things but most time Sam and I divide and conquer. I hung out with Lucas by the swings, slides and blow-up jump things while Sam pushed Henry around in the stroller. It was a beautiful night and the kids had a blast!

We headed back to the hotel and  boys were out. Sam and I ended up grabbing Chili's to-go and eating in the hotel room. 

Forget toys...just give Henry the "old" phone to play with . A few times we had to free him from the noose he tied around his neck.  

 This morning we swam for a bit then headed to the Legends for lunch and some shopping. 

Five Guys fries are yummy!

Strawberry frozen yogurt with gummy bears

I asked Lucas what he thought of our little trip and this was his response. 

Great time and great memories!
