VACATION(1)!!!


Carrie, Helo, and Wendy!

Carrie doing Wendy's LONG hair after it being washed...
We had to leave the Hotel to go buy conditioner
because they didn't have any on the premises!!!
Wendy is SO cute with her thumbs up!

Just Hanging Out!
It is so nice to not have an itinerary on vacation!

Can you guess why Helo is scared?
...Daddy yelled at the t.v.!

This vacation was INCREDIBLE! And SO much FUN! Dan, Helo and I went with Drew, Carrie, Wendy and Wade to the Great Wolf Lodge in Wa for 3nights/4days. The only downside to this Hotel was that they didn't carry or sell conditioner! And their extra sofa bed was like sleeping on bricks with metal springs...OUCH!
So the second night we switched to a bigger room with a king sized bed instead of the pull out sofa. The first room was really nice for the kids because they had their own cabin IN the room. But even after switching rooms...we all had a blast.
Carrie took me to my first massage... and it was 90mins!!! I was so nervous/anxious/excited/etc. In the end it was incredible and really relaxed me! I was so thrilled with the massage experience that the following morning I took Carrie with me to get an hour facial! Wow... it was amazing. To sum it up...We were spoiled! But hey, that is what vacations are for. Thank you to our Husbands who watched the kids for us and let us get away!
Another fun activity was a game called "Magi Quest". SO POPULAR! All day you saw kids of all ages running around looking for these paintings/sculptures/movies/objects that they waved their wands at and received info to their next destination. If you succeed and finish the quest it equals out to be a total of 10 MILES!!! And most of those miles are made up of stairs! Props to Drew and Wendy for going the distance (literally)! Whenever they got back from their quest of the day, they would be totally and utterly exhausted. But they would suck it up, in the end...Wendy slayed the evil Dragon, as we were trying to head out of the hotel to go home (it took all of us adults and Wendy 7 times to try to beat him, but we weren't leaving without victory)! CONGRATS WENDY! For becoming a Master Magi!
In the end...We want to do it all over again!
