Great Wolf Weekend!

Finally, we were able to schedule a weekend to go to Great Wolf Lodge! Elliott earned this trip quitting his thumb-sucking! We've caught him a few times sucking it, but always when he is asleep. We are really proud of him and had a great weekend to show for it.

First we drove up to Seattle to spend a little time with Lauren, Justus and Cora. It's been a while since we saw them last and we won't see them again until late May. This was the perfect time to sneak in a quick visit. Holly was VERY excited about Cora! She wanted to attack her. Holly's dragon voice/yelling scared sweet Cora a bit. We spent time at the park near L&J's house. The weather was gorgeous and we were happy to enjoy it.



Holly was having a great time on the swing

Cora joined her for a bit.

This was Elliott's donut shop. They sold his favorite kinds, Apple Fritters and Green frosted.

We tried for a cousin picture but Elliott wasn't into it. Instead we got the baby girls

Then Holly goes into attack mode...

After our night in Seattle we drove back down to Great Wolf Lodge. We had a blast playing in the wave pool, climbing the fort and wading around in the little kid pool. Holly has no fear of the water and would have happily crawled right into the wave pool had I not stopped her. Elliott takes a little more time to warm up to new things. But, after a while he was in the deep water with me, floating with every wave. Dan and I were thankful that his parents joined us for the trip. We were able to ride all of the waterslides together. Howlin' Tornado was really fun! He also got to do the MagiQuest game, which I heard he really liked. When we left Elliott said he wanted to stay there forever!

We arrived home to amazing weather and super long grass. They happily hung out in the sun for a while.

Then the guys mowed the lawn
