Great Wolf Lodge

We went to Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine this past weekend. If you haven't been, I highly recommend it. The kids had a blast and the slides were even fun for the adults. The best part is that it is inside so I didn't have to worry about the 100 degree weather and Kresee getting another heat rash.


Here are the boys riding in the backseat. We left early Friday and rode with Kerry's mom and sister and the 4 kids. The boys joined us later that evening so that they could work that day. We got there and ate lunch at Jason's Deli (my favorite) and then let the boys play at Going Bonkers since we couldn't check in until 4:00.


I really didn't take too many pictures. Shocker, I know. But I really wanted to enjoy the water and play and not worry about my camera getting wet or dropped or stolen??

Here are the kids the first night. We let Kohen play until the waterpark closed at 9:00. Kresee and I came to the room a little before 9 because she was very ready to go to bed. Kohen feel asleep very quickly.


We had a Maroney Family Reunion just south of Fort Worth on Saturday. So we drove over there that morning and had lunch.


Kerry playing football....


Kay is Kerry's Aunt. But Kohen and Jaxson just loooooove her. She is super fun and they can't get enough of her. She even came back to Great Wolf with us and played the rest of the afternoon/evening.

Kresee loves looking at herself in the mirror. She was cracking up at herself and I caught her laughing in several pictures. Too cute....



Kresee and her Daddy....

Kenzie in her 4th of July Bikini.....Kresee has one to that they will both be wearing to the lake this weekend....

This was the warm pool so Kohen really liked being in it....Kresee liked it a lot too...She was so content and just kicked her little legs in excitement....


Kay took a quick family picture of the 4 of us before story time......

After story time, Kohen and Jaxson got their picture made with the Wolf.....He looks fake like a statue but it was a man in a costume....

Kohen thinking he needed to push his sister down the hallway....You can see she isn't quite sure of it thinking she was probably going to fall out any second....

Kohen more than anything wanted to do the squirters....I had told him about it so I think that was the first thing he did when we got there.....




He went down these slides 100 times......


He really liked the wave pool....The first time he got in there was no waves....So he went out there pretty far since the middle of the pool is still only 2 ft deep....BUT here came the waves and I knew he had no idea what he was in for....I wish I got a picture of that first wave that washed over him...I yelled at him to come back and he turned around to look at me and then he went under....It was pretty funny....







Yesterday before we headed back we went and ate at Rainforest Cafe....We have never been and I really wanted to take Kohen....He really liked it all...We had a big gorilla behind us that would start squealing and moving around....Then it would stop....This is him being the gorilla that was being still??....Silly guy.....



Ma and Kohen with the lizard......

Roosters, Turkeys and Chickens....OH MY!

We went with my sister out to someone's house that she knows on Monday....Leslie knew Kohen would be amazed at all their animals: ducks, chickens, roosters, turkeys, geese, guineas, etc.....We got there pretty early since its so darn hot...He got to learn about all kinds of bugs and insects as well....We look forward to going back at some point:)

These turkeys were huge....I've never seen a turkey and they were very friendly...It was weird getting to pet them....

They had tons of geese and Kohen got to pet and feel of their webbed feet....


They had a little bitty rooster and his name was Baby....He was so precious and loves to be held...So I got lots of pictures of Kohen holding and hanging out with Baby....

Play Dates

We have had a few play dates the past week....We went over to visit with Presley and her parents....We ate chips and hot dogs and let the 2 kiddos have fun together....I really enjoy visiting with Presley's mommy:)


Yesterday I went walking with Carlye at the mall in the morning....It was great...We walked for about 55 minutes and it flew by....They just moved back and I was very excited to talk and catch up with her.....
Sarah Jane and Kresee are just 2 days apart....I think they will be good friends:)
Look at those cheeks....They crack me up.....

And I just love chunky baby legs......

Then we met up with them again today.....We wanted to play at Grace Church's playground but it got hot really fast and Carlye was running late, so we went to their house to let the kids play....

The babies slept for the first little bit, but they had fun hanging out on the play mat together...
And Kohen and Georgia had fun together as well.....

The good thing is that at the church I met another Mommy with 2 girls and I really enjoyed visiting with her...She has a blog on things to do here in Wichita Falls....I have the link on my sidebar as well to the right....


She was nice enough to snap a picture of the 3 of us:)....And Kresee was perfectly content hanging out in the swing.....

Weekend at the Lake

We spent Father's Day weekend at Possum Kingdom....Had a great time....Kresee got another heat rash so she didn't have the best time on Saturday....It was overcast and really windy so we figured it was our best chance to take her on her first boat ride...It didn't take long for the fun rash to appear and she was in a bad mood the rest of the day....Kohen had a great time though....
Kerry got a new-do for the summer.....
At Sportman's World, there are tons of fish waiting to be fed when you stop to get gas....Pretty gross, huh??


Papa letting Kresee hang out in the water for a few minutes.....

Daddy throwing Kohen in the air.....

Daddy swinging Kohen around the water.....
