Our SUPER Vacation!

Before you get the scoop on our FABULOUS vacation I have some bad news.

While we were on vacation Libby died of distemper. Poor girl was apparently sick when we adopted her. After half a dozen trips to the vet it became obvious she was REALLY sick. She was a sweetie and taught LuLu how to play ball.

NOW FOR THE FUN!!

I took so many picture I had a hard time deciding what to post.

We went to the Great Wolf Lodge.
Great Wolf is a resort with all kinds of fun things to do but the biggest attraction was the indoor water park.
JD played and played and played in the water. These green and yellow tree house slides were his favorite.

Every few minutes this giant bucket would dump water on the swimmers.

We went to Medieval Times for dinner on the night we arrived. Here is JD with Dad and our friend Noah outside the castle.

This gentleman was guarding the torture museum. We decided we didn't need to be tortured on this evening.

We had lunch at the Rain forest Cafe.

Dad had to make a trip to the Bass Pro Shops. While he shopped JD and I drove the boats.

The Great Wolf Lodge had a fun arcade. JD played some games and rode the motorcycle.

This little area in the lobby came to life several times during the day and told a story about mother nature. Once JD figured out that the trees sang we had to be there for every performance. It was just like Night At The Museum when things started coming to life.

After the evening performance was story time and picture with the Wolf.

Kids at the lodge got these electronic magic wands and were running all over the resort trying to figure out their "quests." JD didn't understand the whole concept of the scavenger hunt quest but he did know that every kid had a wand and when you waved it at stuff it came to life. After a couple days I finally gave in and got him a wand. We went all over the hotel waving our magic wand at things.

No vacation would be complete without a little dessert indulgence. We ordered these chocolate goodies and shared with our friends.

After everything was eaten JD and Brian played with the leftover chocolate. This was the last evening before we left. By this time at night JD was so silly it was almost as if someone had slipped him a little beer. He thought EVERYTHING was HILARIOUS!

We are happy to be home now but the end of vacation is always a little sad.
