Howl-oween at the Wolf

We have been looking forward to this Great Wolf Lodge trip all year! We went with a group of 10 families last year in October and had so much fun we did it again this year. This time with 30 families (mostly from our stake). Yea, the word spread...next year we'll fill the place! :)

Here are the boys in front of the wave pool:



The water slides were great fun! Even for the adults! The biggest slide, the "Howling Tornado", is crazy! It cracked me up that Tyler kept calling it the "Halloween Tomato"! Justin was so brave this year. He kept those slides in business!



I know this video is sideways...ignore that and watch it anyway. Ha ha! This place is checker-blocked full of water-works fun! Check out that bucket dump!



Story time...Tyler was afraid of the "Dancing Tree". So I put puzzles together on the other side of the main entrance while Travis and Justin had fun with the animatronics story time show.



I love that we could borrow board games from the front desk and take them back to our room. So fun!



We stayed for one night, but swam for two days. It was the perfect amount of time to do everything we wanted to do. We had a great time with our friends and are looking forward to another trip to the Wolf next year. This is one fun tradition!

Go Yankees!

This weekend, Travis and I went to Seattle with our friends, Kaylynn and Tony, to see the New York Yankees play the Seattle Mariners. Travis' sister and her husband watched the boys at their place in Vancouver on Friday and Saturday so we could get away for a night. This was our first night away without kids in two years! Yay, we were excited! Before the game on Saturday, we spent the afternoon wandering along the Seattle waterfront. We ate some delicious salmon at The Crab Pot (The same place I ate with my family years ago...remember guys?) and tried some Italian gelato. My favorite part was going to Pikes Place and seeing some crazy fish throwing fun.



The New York Yankees have always been Travis' favorite baseball team and we have been dreaming of taking a trip to see them play for at least 10 years. The game was awesome and the Yankees won!



The view from the field was fantastic!



We are definitely going to go to another game...hopefully soon...any takers?
