Great Wolf Lodge

Every year, Edward Jones has their summer regional meeting in June. This year we lucked out. It was at the Great Wolf Lodge this past weekend in Grapevine, just a short 30 minute drive for us. What a perfect year for us not to have to take a road trip to Houston, Austin or San Antonio where the meetings are usually held! Plus the Great Wolf Lodge was a great place to go with young kids. It's all about them where everything is kid centered and family friendly. The indoor water park was complete with a "little kid" area (perfect for our guys), a wave pool, lazy river, regular swimming pool and several large water slides for the adults. We decided to go in a day early and take advantage since this was our last "vacation" before baby girl arrives.

The boys looking out at the indoor water park while Daddy got us checked in. They couldn't wait to partake in the fun!


Jacob posing with the Wolf. Luke was happy to watch from afar in Daddy's arms. :)


Suited up and ready to go


Standing in front of the biggest attraction.


Every 4-5 minutes 1000 gallons of water dump out from the huge bucket at the top.


The boys waiting in line for the little kid water slides


And yes, even sweet Luke had his fun. He wasn't hesitant at all to try the slides. Watching his big brother do it, always makes it easier. Jacob is on the left and Luke is on the right.




Here is Jacob coming down the bigger, blue slide


And Lukie too (behind the arm)


Plotting their next plan- the blue or yellow slide, which will it be??




Watching one of the character shows. They watched this same show every morning at 9 and needless to say, I had those silly songs stuck in my head all day long! :)


The boys with Abby, one of the friends that Jacob met and talked about nonstop. Her mom is also a Jones broker. He has already asked for me to "text her mom and make plans for a playdate"!


Sweet boy
