What a fun and busy weekend we had. 4 hour drive to Kansas City, kids were really good in the car. Thank you DVD player. They watched 2 movies on the way down which gave the adults plenty of chatting time. We got to Great Wolf Lodge Waterpark and Resort around 1 pm. Checked in and our room was ready. YEAY!!!! Up we went. The room was awesome, it had a fireplace in the main room with a little "cub den" for the boys. A bunk bed with pictures of wild life in the room, they enjoyed this!!! Here is a picture of Baba and Gunnar enjoying the top bunk!!!
So we headed off to the water park. Hunter is now tall enough he can ride all the rides!! Woo Hoo!! Gunnar was tall enough to ride all but one. The only one he wanted to go on. Oh well once he saw how many to choose from he didn't care anymore. Off he went and I think it took all three of us to chase after him because the little guy didn't sit still at all. We all 3 took turns taking Hunter down the adult slides. They were really fun! The triple twist was his favorite.
After water park fun it was time to get something to eat. We went to the T-rex cafe, where there were giant dinosaurs and you could build a dinosaur, there was a very scary (according to Gunnar) life like dinosaur that moved when we walked in the door. There was a 40 minute wait for a table at 4 in the afternoon......whatever. We moved on to the Backfire Grill and BBQ. Which was delicious and NO WAIT!! We really lucked out with this one!! Here is a pic outside the Trex. Hopefully we can go back to this someday it looked really really fun!!
We then headed on over to Toy Story 3 on Ice!! We got our souvenirs (a couple of Buzz light years spinning flashlights, a program and lemonade and cotton candy and then a Buzz ight year light up sword and then I was told to quit buying crap, ha ha) I so wanted a Jessie snow cone. Oh well. So we sat in our seats and they were SWEET to say the least. Front row right next to the ice! Here is a picture.
Baba really out did herself this time. So the show was AWESOME as well. I think Chris had the biggest smile I have ever seen on that man's face the whole entire time!! The boys loved it too. Because we were front row they got to pet Hamm (see pic up top) and high five the army guys (see pics). We all just loved it and were right next to all of the action.
My favorite part were the little aliens when they came out. The lights got all funky colored and they danced around. Don't know if you can tell from the picture!! Anyways the boys including Chris raved on and on about how great it was. The next morning the boys wanted to go see it again!! Too funny.
Instead the boys and Baba went to the water park for so more wet fun!! Chris and I headed across the street to Cabella's where we loaded up on some Easter and birthday gifts for the boys. Chris loaded up on fishing supplies so he can take Hunter out on the boat this year and they can bond or whatever it is that boys do when they fish!!Needless to say when we left the Lodge everyone was tired! We all slept on the way home minus Chris, he was driving :) Hope everyone is doing well. Our next adventures are the Iowa Horse Fair and Rodeo this weekend and organizing our transportation to and from Hunter's baseball practices!! Then we have three easter egg hunts, and pancake breakfast, VEISHA and of course Hunter and Daddy's birthdays!! April should be gone in no time!! Enjoy it!!
The Jones's!!
