Great Wolf Lodge

This past Thursday, the girls' school celebrated Fiesta! All of the Kindergarteners participated in a Shoebox Float Parade for the school, which was a lot of fun! Each class had a party in the afternoon with a Fiesta themed craft {Hadley's class made Fiesta medals, and Shelby's class made sombreros}, nacho bar, & churros!

The girls had Friday off from school thanks to Fiesta, so we took advantage of the long weekend and made our first trip to Great Wolf Lodge, which is a hotel with an indoor water park near Dallas. We had a lot of fun! Shelby was tall enough to do all of the big slides, and Hadley was tall enough to do all but one--and she surprised us and was very adventurous! I think the kids' favorite part might have been the hotel--they were totally in awe when we walked into the front lobby! And of course, the "Wolf Den" & bunk beds in our room were a HUGE hit! We left our phones in our room when we were in the water park, so I don't have too many photos of our weekend..but here are a few!

The picture above was on our way to the Jammie Jamboree--a pajama dance party before the bedtime storytime in the main lobby of the hotel. All of the free kids' activities the hotel offered for the kids was one of my favorite parts of Great Wolf Lodge!

We're all still trying to recuperate from our fun-filled weekend! Late nights, early mornings, lots of swimming, and LOTS of stairs going up for big water slides makes for tired kids...and tired parents, too!! But this little weekend getaway definitely got me geared up for summer--bring on Aquatica, summer days by our new pool, and THE BEACH! :)
