We took a little road trip up to Great Wolf Lodge last weekend for Mom's birthday. We drove up on Saturday morning to get checked in and start swimming! Meri was more than happy to stay in the kiddie pools and hopping {small} waves in the wave pool. However, Ali was super excited to tackle the big rides and slides with her daddy. She swam until her fingers and toes were prunes! Meri and Johnna wanted to head back to the room after a little while for snacks and playtime...

That night we went to dinner at a nearby Mexican restaurant...with a sombrero for the birthday girl and chocolate sundaes for all of the little girls!

After dinner, the girls all got in their pajamas and we went to the main room for story time and a hug for the coyote mascot.

The girls slept really well that night! :)

The next morning we had a wonderful breakfast. I think it was the best buffet I've had in a long time. There was so much good food, and something for everyone. Next, we headed back to the pool for more swimming. I had to take Travis back to work, so Mom and Mike graciously offered to keep Ali and Meri so they could swim longer.

They had such a great time... Meri was asleep as soon as the car hit the freeway!
