Great Wolf Lodge!

We took a little family "staycation" last weekend and went to Great Wolf Lodge for a night. Ryan and I both took a day/half day off work, and we picked up Aiden right after nap time and headed over to Grapevine. The place was already hopping when we got there to check in! A few minutes in line, off to our room to change and then some time at the water park. Aiden was good to spend about an hour there and then he was done. But he was happy to run around the arcade for probably just as long, just pushing buttons and climbing in and out of the little cars his size. We also went to the evening story time, but found it much more interesting to climb multiple flights of stairs than listen to a story.

He crashed quickly and Ryan and I spent some time sitting on our little patio just chatting about life. Poor Aiden woke up in a state of confusion in the middle of the night so we threw him in bed with us and soaked up all the Aiden cuddles we could get.

The next morning we took in the Wolf Walk around the hotel (which I thought was a pretty big bummer) and ended up at the staircase again. Some more time in the water park and of course the arcade (such good free entertainment for a 2.5 year old....I had no idea!). We took some pics with the characters there....which Aiden wasn't too sure able (take a look below....). We were home shortly after nap time and little man crashed again.

It was a perfect little family weekend....I really couldn't have pictured it going much better. (Ryan and I did have the start of bummer colds but nothing too miserable that it ruined our fun.) I am so grateful to have this memory and time to look back on as we grow from a family of 3 to a family of 4!
