Great Wolf Lodge

We were at the Great Wolf Lodge over Halloween to celebrate Emily's Birthday. We all had a great time though we were absolutely exhausted by the end. Elijah was so tired I thought he was sick. Thankfully he was not and woke up just fine Tuesday. We are convinced that both of these kids were labs or at least some kind of water dog in a former life the way they respond to water.

Seriously, he does this on purpose again and again.

The also both love the obstacle course.  Then complain bc their arms and tummies hurt.

Can't imagine why that happens?

I'm not sure if we'll go again for Elijah's birthday or do something else.  Either way I'm sure we will go again.  Right now I'm loving that my kids would rather go on a family trip then have a party.

Love This Picture

Halloween part 1

These are from trick or treating at Red Hat. I'll try to get the rest of the pictures up soon. Emily was her bunny Bun Bun and Elijah was Sonic the Hedgehog.

The Fair

Saturday we went to the State Fair. We hadn't been since before Emily was born so it was time to make our return. These pictures are in reverse order so the children look more awake the farther down the list you go.

Elijah finished his experience with a fried apple pie.

Emily wanted a vanilla ice cream that was about her size.

The last ride we rode was the Ferris wheel.  The line was really long but Emily had been asking about it since we got there.

It was worth the wait.

Both kids did pony rides.  Now they both say they want to take lessons.  Probably not going to happen.

Emily picked the wiggle worm and both of them enjoyed it despite how unsure Elijah looks in some of the pictures.

Emily also picked the carousel and Elijah picked the big slide.  Emily was sad to be too little for the slide and Elijah declared himself too big for the carousel.

We got there at lunch time so responsible adult that I am I picked fried cookie dough for my lunch.  good thing the kids helped me out with it.
