[Image] We celebrate Annie and Josiah's birthday together since they both have January birthdays. This year we decided to try the Great Wolf Lodge. This turned out to be a great choice! We left Josie with a babysitter for the night so we could just spend quality time with Annie and Si. [Image]   [Image] We checked into the hotel around 5:00 and then headed to Outback Steakhouse for dinner. It was yummy! Nathan and I split a steak dinner and we ordered a couple of appetizers to share with the kids. Then we headed to the hotel to get ready for the waterpark.   [Image] Annie obviously enjoyed herself :-)   [Image] The Warm Pool!   This is where we spent the majority of our time. It felt great.   [Image] Our little swimmer Annie! Both of my kids are excellent swimmers; they have to get the from their daddy.   [Image] I got the kids both a little present in honor of their birthday celebration. When we got back to the room, I had some fun planned for us. I had brought a couple of games to play as a family; Twister and Charades. We had snacks of Pringles and Doughnuts.   [Image] This trip was full of priceless memories.   [Image] The kids slept in the Wolf Den in our room. They thought this was the coolest thing. I thought it was pretty cool myself :-) [Image]   [Image] We'll never forget our special room at the Great Wolf Lodge.   [Image] Josie joined us the next day for some water fun. We missed her but had a blast doing things that we can't do when she is there.   [Image] The kids loved this snake in one of the pools. We played on this for hours.   [Image] My handsome little swimmer.   [Image] I am so thankful for the opportunity we had to share this time as a family. We will never forget it.   [Image] We ended our birthday outing with story time in the lobby at the lodge. Then we headed to one of our favorite eating establishments, Viva Tequila. I think we have decided to do this every year from now on for the kids birthdays. It was a blast!
