Great Wolf Lodge

My cousin made a trip to Dallas and stayed at Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine. Since it was only her, her husband, and their little boy (who is just 2 months older than Olivia) they had a couple extra passes for the waterpark. We were the lucky ones that got to go with them!

We spent most of our time in the kiddie pool which was a blast for the girls.

Out of everything there I think these wave runners were their favorite.

We actually got to go TWICE! We went with them on Monday evening after they checked in. And since we had the wristbands we decided to go again on Tuesday morning. The first day I left my camera in the room but I decided to try extra hard to stay dry and take a few pictures on Tuesday. Staying dry is hard to do with all of the things that spray water everywhere!

They had a few water slides and both girls tried them out but they enjoyed swimming and splashing more than sliding.

Just look how big this place is! When we were leaving I realized we missed an entire section that the girls were big enough for. I guess we can check it out next time!

We did go through the not-so-lazy river. We did that with my cousins family and I was glad to have an extra adult to help with the girls. Since they only had 2 extra passes, Dustin stayed home to do some homework (Olivia was free).

And this is where we spent most of our time. Since it was a weekday, it wasn't very crowded which was great.

Just look how fun the fountain is!

They both had a blast! We are even considering going there for Grace's birthday this year. Wouldn't it be fun for a December birthday?

Celebration Park in Allen, TX

I have been looking for a spray park to take the girls to. There are several water parks nearby but not any spray parks. So one Saturday we decided to make a spray park part of a fun day trip. It is only about 45 min away but we had some other things we wanted to do in the area as well.

 Celebration Park in Allen, TX is one of the biggest parks we have been to. There is a pretty large water area and a big playground. Being so hot outside it was too hot to play on the playground but Grace walked around and checked it out. It looked like there were areas for toddlers as well as older kids. We will have to go back once it cools off a bit.

I think Grace enjoys anything to do with water! Olivia liked it too but she really enjoyed just being able to walk around in the big open area the best. And I just realized I didn't take any pictures of Olivia with my camera! Oops!

This last picture is just part of the park. It is a lot bigger than that!

Splish Splash Story Time

The library here has several different story times. One we have been going to is the Splish Splash Story Time that they are having over the summer. It is held at the city water park and after reading a couple of stories and singing some songs we get to play in the kids pool. 

It was so much fun!
