Great Wolf Lodge

This past week, my whole immediate family was able to get together for a trip to the great wolf lodge in Dallas. We had an awesome time! 
The hotel has a really fun indoor waterpark! Emily loved it! It took a while for her to work up the courage to go on the kid slides, but once she did, she didn't want to stop riding them! She made everyone ride them with her over and over again! It was so fun watching her!

we stopped at in-n-out on the way up!

waiting in the lobby- so excited to get the vacation started!







The hotel also has a really fun ropes course that most of us tried out. There was a even a little mini one that Emily got to play on until we were told that she was supposed to pay and get harnessed for that one too :( She was pretty bummed when she had to get off.












 love that stance!

even Addie got to try it out ;)

On the last day, Emily and I got mommy and me pedicures with my sister and her daughter. We loved it! I was a little worried that she wouldn't sit still the whole time or that she would be too shy, but she was awesome! She got to wear a pink robe and tiara and pick out her own colors. Then we got our pedicures, complete with scrub, lotion, nail shaping, and warm towels. And then at the end she got a sash, lip gloss, and scented hairspray. She ate it up the whole time! It was probably my favorite part of the whole trip!





who taught her the duck face?!




she wanted daddy to have a turn with the tiara :)

we got free ice cream for getting pedicures!

There were a lot of other fun things that we were able to do at the hotel as well. Emily got wolf ears that she wore for the entire trip. They also have a little quest game where you get a wand and do a scavenger hunt all around the hotel. Emily didn't really get into the clues, but she loved taking her wand around and activating all of the hidden objects. In the evenings, they do a little story time thing for all the kids. And Emily also had her first arcade experience! We really had a great time!

What a fun filled mini vacation and a great way to celebrate Mother's day with family! I loved all the pictures of sweet Emily enjoying her pedicure and 'queen for a day"! Addie seem to take it all in. LOVE them both :)
