Finally updating

Dylan playing "drums" with the spoons and table decorations ;p


Wow, so I haven't posted since we got back from vacation!! Sorry Jenn ;)


We had a WONDERFUL time!!! We left Sunday morning about 9ish and stopped at the Grapevine Mills Mall first. Of course, you know the kids were filled with anticipation, so I didn't get to do much shopping....did get a cute Candy Apple outfit for $14 at the Gymbo outlet though ;) I didn't even know they had one there!! Definitely be going back! We ate lunch at the mall, then headed over to the Lodge. Not sure if I mentioned or not that we were traveling with another family. Jason & Kelly, Jordan (who is 10) and Kaleigh (6). We got to the Lodge and they already had our rooms ready, so that was nice that we didn't have to wait seeing as check-in is normally at 4 and we got there around 1ish. Got up to the room and pretty much got changed and went straight to the waterpark.


The waterpark is attached to the lodge, but you have to have a wrist-band on in order to get in. This place is PERFECT for kids 10 & under. Older kids would have fun too, but maybe not for more than 1 day as they might get bored?? Anyway, it's so neat because they keep it like 84 degrees in there, so you actually WANT to get wet and the water feels good. We rode some slide, which Dylan LOVED! I was a little nervous that he would be scared, but he did great! They had a wave pool and we hung out in there for a bit. Next thing we knew it was almost 6pm! We headed back up to the room to get changed and get some dinner. We ended up going to eat at Saltgrass...YUMMY!!! Never eaten there before, but it really was great! After we ate, we came back to the lodge and played in the arcade for a bit. We decided not to get back in the water and just hit it early in the AM.


Monday morning, the waterpark opened at 9am and we went down when it opened. It really wasn't all that crowded and we had a great morning! We played until around noon, then went up to our rooms and ordered Pizza Hut because it was there in the lodge. The kids rested for about an hour, then we went BACK down to the waterpark. That afternoon we went to the outdoor park to soak up some of the sun! They had slides out there too, so the kids liked that! We stayed out there until around 5ish, then decided to get ready for dinner. They had a Bar & Grill inside the lodge and we decided to just eat there. It was really good and we let the kids talk us into going back down to the waterpark after dinner! Kelly & I rode the one ride that the kids couldn't ride, due to their height, at dark...it was freaking AWESOME!!! FUN! We were there from about 8pm until 9:30ish. The adults hung out in the hot tub which was RIGHT by the kiddie pool while they played. It was so relaxing!


Tuesday morning, we got up and got packed. We stopped and ate a BIG breakfast at IHOP...can I just say that I LOVE their breakfast!! Then we headed home...got home around 1ish and just layed around the rest of the day. The kids were SOOO tired, so that was good, they didn't want to do anything!!


Wednesday, we all had to go back to work, YUCK!


Thursday, Dylan had his first T-ball practice...he is SO stinking excited about this!! He carries his little bag with bat & balls in it everywhere...it's super cute ;) Jeremy is coaching this year and I'm so proud of him! He's doing a great job so far and has really spent some quality time with Dylan out in the back yard working on his wing ;) I'll be sure to take some pics as his first game is next Sat.


We don't have huge plans this weekend, a b-day party tomorrow morning, but not much after that. I desparately need to paint Dylan's room since I've had the stuff for 2 months now and still haven't done it. Maybe on Sunday?? Saturday afternoon I think we may go to my mom's and hang out at the pool...I need some relaxation!


Here are some pics :)

Thanks :) We had fun!! Is there something similar near you?

I don't know if we have anything like that around here but I really should find out :)

thanks for your well wishes in my posts, I am just hating being miserable while pregnant, I want to enjoy feeling him move and even the contractions and stuff but instead i'm just sick of being sick and now to not have ANYTHING from the drs that tells me why i'm feeling this way kinda stinks.
