Vacation Trips So Far....

Our first vacation of the summer after our trip to The Woodlands for the week was to Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine, TX. What an amazing place to go as a kid because it is geared for children and the parents go along for the fun. We stayed there for 2 nights and had a blast each day. Maddie became very comfortable swimming with a life jacket and going down the big slides by herself. That was a huge accomplishment from last year but she did it more once she saw Chloe going by herself. Its so good for her to see Cousin Chloe doing things then she wants to do them. Look at our pictures from our first vacation stop......Waiting to check in the hotel...Maddie was guarding the luggage for us and chillin' too!
This is a picture from the lobby of the inside part of the waterpark. This is where we spent most of our time because it had the kiddie area with slides for Maddie.
Outside there was a big pool and fountains that squirted up. Chloe decided to be silly in the water so Maddie followed right behind her. So funny....
Squirting the big fountain of water across the pool became Maddie's favorite thing to do outside in the big pool.
Maddie, Trinity & Mimi waiting for the nighttime story show to begin in the lobby. Mimi loved spending time with her grand-girls!!
Oohh.....Happy Early 4th of July! Mimi bought the girls matching swimsuits but Maddie couldn't wear hers yet because she is so tiny and the swimsuit was too big. :(



This is Maddie going down the big slide and Aunt Kristi caught her at the end she loved it too!
This is the rest of the family watching and laughing as Maddie comes flying down the slide for the first time!!

Our vacation with the family was so fun and ended in New Braunfels with swimming and hanging out.

We loaded back up on Sunday and headed to Lake Charles with Nana, Papa, Aunt Rae Rae and Uncle Andrew for a few days since we couldn't make the trip all the way to the beach in Florida. We stayed at L'Auberge Du Lac and swam in the lazy river each day, took naps, gambled, lost some money and had a great time with the family!! The first full day we were there, the guys decided to rent a Cabana so we had a place to get out of the sun. We had a tv, fridge, table, loungers and fans...it was awesome!!

Here is our really cool set up at the Cabana...this is the way to lay out by the pool!

Somebody is getting sleepy......

Maddie's favorite thing was to put on her life jacket and swim the lazy river. She thought she was so big and could float on her back too.

She is floating like her Granny!

Maddie had a great time at the "Big Hotel" as she called it! What a great place to vacation and i can't wait to go back and swim some more. Nana and Papa headed to the beach after this day and we all headed back to reality. It was a fun and relaxing time with both families and we are glad we got to spend time with everyone before Cadence makes her arrival and we are homebound for a little while. Happy Summer!!
