For all those who've been nagging me about updating the blog (you know who you are), I hope you enjoy the next few posts! I know they're long overdue; I can't believe how fast the summer has flown by.
So let's start with Labor Day! We had a big, kid-tastic weekend but the most exciting part was our trip to Great Wolf Lodge. This is a hotel chain with an indoor/outdoor water park, and there's one conveniently located just 90 minutes south of us. The room was actually better than I hoped for - very large with plenty of room for all of us. We hit the pool as soon as we could. Zak was not a huge fan at first but he warmed up to it. And our little mermaid Isabel couldn't get enough!
In the evening, the hotel had "story time" for the kids that included an animatronic show followed by a book. Both kids were mesmerized. The next morning we hit the pool area again as soon as it opened, swam all morning, ate lunch, and then hit the road. It was a perfect trip for our little munchkins: close to home but still getting away from our normal routine.
Actually, I should've dressed them BOTH as little devils! They both loved trick-or-treating. I thought Zak would be scared but once he saw Isabel do it once, he got the hang of it. Actually, he was a little too comfortable; more than once our neighbor would open their door and he would run inside their house. Then he figured out that the things they were giving him were CANDY and he settled down.
