The Great Wolf Lodge


We took Jacob to the Great Wolf Lodge with my mom and sister's family when he turned six last December.  This year, his cousin Travis was turning six... so he was pretty sure we all needed to go back for his birthday day too!

My mom was sweet enough to stay with Casey while he napped, so the rest of us hit the water slide park!  Jacob was just past the 48" mark so he and Maddie could go on every slide together.  To say he was excited about that would be the understatement of the year. :)  Gavin and Travis were about the same height, so they held hands and were slide buddies too.  It couldn't have worked out any better!  Adam and I took Maddie and Jacob on the bigger slides and my sister and her husband took Gavin and Travis on the smaller slides.  Perfect.

They had a special trick-or-treat route for the kids since it was close to Halloween, so Jacob and Gavin got all dressed up.  Sadly, Casey wasn't feeling too well so he stayed in the room with Daddy while I took the older boys trick-or-treating.
Wait mom!  We need our moustaches!

Now we're ready to go!

Checking out the stash.
We even found another Toadstool!

Then we went back upstairs to celebrate Travis' birthday.  How fun that he was dressed head to toe according to his theme!
 Maddie was all ready too, my sister has some pretty amazing make-up skills.  :)
Blowing out the candles...
 and eating some cake!
After that, we went downstairs for some Disco dancing.  
 Jacob kept spinning like when he gets a propellor on Super Mario Brothers... it was hilarious.

We danced the night away... ;)
Halloween story time. 

At least I didn't have to worry about losing Jacob!
Gavin just wanted to snuggle with Daddy.

 We even got in some magic wand time before bed.


Casey was feeling better as we were putting the boys to bed, so we took him downstairs for a night cap.
He loved the disco music too and couldn't help shaking his little tush to the beat.
 Casey also loved the magic wands... even if he held it backwards most of the time!
 I don't have many swimming pictures (since I was in the water too), but we had a great time!
 Happy Birthday Travis!  We love you!
  Goodbye Great Wolf Lodge!  Hope to see you again soon.  :)
