Great Wolf Lodge

   We decided to end our trip with a bang.  We went to Great Wolf Lodge.  We had been to Great Wolf Lodge in Kansas City almost two years ago.  The kids absolutely loved it.  They have been dying to go back.  We were very excited when we realized there is a location that is on the way to Adam and Jane's.  We decided to stay for a night on our way home.  I figured it would be a good way to end our trip.
    The Great Wolf Lodge in Texas was just as impressive as the one in Kansas.  We were pleased to see that some parts were different from the Kansas one.  The kids had so much fun.  We checked in on Thursday around 1:00.  We headed straight to the massive water park.  The kids loved exploring everything.  Gracie loved it too.  Gracie took a short nap, but Dawson and Ashlyn kept swimming.  We stopped for a short dinner break.  After dinner, Joey took Ashlyn and Dawson back down to the water park until they closed.  It is just the coolest thing to have a massive water park an elevator ride away.
   We woke up bright and early and eat breakfast and packed our things.  We went back to the water park and swam like crazy until noon.  Sadly, it was time to leave.  Our original plan was to drive to Amarillo and stay the night.  As we got closer to Amarillo we decided to press on.  After two weeks of sleeping in foreign beds, I so badly coveted my own bed.  The kids wanted to get home as well.  The kids did not even get antsy since they got out all of their energy at Great Wolf Lodge.  It was a good decision and they all slept the last portion of the trip.  We ended up getting home around midnight Friday night, but we were finally home!!!
   We had so, so many adventures this spring break.  It was definitely one of the best ever.  We feel so lucky to get to travel and to show our kids different parts of the country. We certainly made some incredible memories. 
    Since we really couldn't bring the camera into the water park, we didn't get too many pictures.  We did manage to snap a few.

Dawson was big enough to ride some water slides this time and he loved it!

They also have an arcade.  Ashlyn and I went down Thursday night for some late night fun.
