The Great Wolf Lodge

Thanks to Rick's generous coworkers at the Hereford House Rick, Lori, Meredith, Brad, Brady and I had the opportunity to spend the night at the Great Wolf Lodge and enjoy the great big indoor waterpark. We all had a great time. Meredith learned quickly how to use her lifevest and swim. Brady was a little bit more resistant to the idea, but claimed to have fun nonetheless. The "big" kids (AKA Brad, Rick, Lori and myself) even took some time to enjoy the waterslides.

WOW! That is A LOT of water!

Jump, Brady!

We climbed up the fort and waved to Daddy Brad down below


WEEEEEE... Meredith loved going down the slide.



Here goes Brady. He did not enjoy it as much :(



Clinging to Mommy



What happens when Brady is NOT clinging to Mommy



Meredith shows off her new swimming skills and spent most of the day swimming circles around her cousin.


Brady is so sad while Daddy Brad tries to teach him how to stay afloat and swim with his lifevest.

The big kids even enjoyed the park.


The fast waterslides were a blast!

Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Grandma Cheryl and Grandpa Wes came for a weekend trip from Michigan. We decided to enjoy the beautiul fall weather and take a trip to the pumpkin patch in Lawrence. Aunt Steph and Uncle Jesse came along as well. We enjoyed riding on the tractor hayride, searching for pumpkins, and playing on the slide and the hay tower.

So after admiring Rick, Lori and Meredith's Blog over the past couple of years I have finally decided to take the plunge and start my own blog. I will attempt to keep up with Lori and update it regularly. I hope you all enjoy!
