KC here we come!!

Last week was

our first

family vacation!

We were all super excited

and the boys did

fantastic

in the car!

As we drove into

Kansas City

we pointed to

"The Great Wolf Lodge"

and said~

"Here is your surprise!

We are staying there!"

Big Guy's eyes got huge,

he smiled at all the slides

turning in and out of the

huge cabin

and he said

"Is that our new house?!"

For a few days it is!

We walked into the big

beautiful lobby.

Their eyes were wide

with happiness and excitement.

"So, this is Kansas City"! he yelled.

Kansas City was always a magical place

for me as a child too.

I will never forget the excitement

I would feel as we would

walk into the mall and I would see

the big bright pink

Hello Kitty store.

That was my KC!

I hope these memories

are as magnificent to them!

They couldn't wait

to hit the pool,

but were both very intimidated

once there.

(pics are on a water camera, to be developed later!)

Then it was back to the room

and ready for dinner.

I think just being

in the hotel itself

was the best part for them!

Baby screeched and squealed,

they laughed and jumped

all around the room

then down the hall.

Our little wolfs

at dinner.

(That was in a tent!)

That night was an adorable story time

where it even snowed inside!

Baby was mesmerized,

loving every second!

Never short on making us laugh,

the story teller

came out and asked if anyone

had ever read the book

"Silly Sally"

a couple hands shot up,

then I look down to see

Baby's little chubby arm shoot up into the air,

raising his hand!

We laughed soooo hard,

I guess he has read the book before!

Note how tight

he is holding onto Daddy!

I told the boys

one of the best parts of staying

in a hotel

is having snacks in bed.

So, we hit the snack shop and

had ice cream in bed!

Yum!

(I think Mommy was the most excited about doing this!)

The boys slept great,

good thing because

we had lots more fun in store!
