Last weekend was a crazy one, but so much fun! On Friday we went to see Santa (see previous post), and then Saturday, we woke up and headed to the Gaylord Ice! We had never been before, and had a great time. Tula and Pop were treating for my 30th birthday. (Yes 3-0!!- It is not until the 23rd, but we celebrated a little early). The Schmids tagged along, as well as Rett and Ashley. We missed Grant!! We started off at the Gaylord, and the Christmas decorations were so neat.

| Benjamin was into the trains as well. |
Audrey and Luke were wearing matching Reindeer shirts, and for some reason, Luke was loving holding Audrey's hand and leading her all over the place.

| Audrey had a good view! |
The kids were a little confused by the huge coats, but eventually thought they were fun!
We were freezing inside, but the sculptures were so neat and well worth it.

| Best shot we could get with Tula and Pop. Boo! |
 |
| Luke loved the ice slides. |
 |
| And so did Pop! |
 |
| Cutest couple around. |
 |
| Thanks Tula and Pop for a fun outing! |
 |
| Sibling love. |
 |
| Cousin love. |

The ice adventure would have been enough fun for anyone, but we decided to squeeze in a little more. Since Ali and I used the same realtor, they were kind enough to gift us with vouchers to The Great Wolf Lodge. We decided to use them this weekend, since it is just across the street from the Gaylord. I have heard wonderful things about this place, and it did not disappoint! There was a huge water park, characters, a magic hunt (too old for us at this point, but when they get older, would be great), a bedtime story, and snow falling in the lobby. We were in kid heaven! I highly recommend this as a family vacation, but next time would try and go on a week day, when it wasn't so crowded. Here are some pics. (We didn't get any water park pics, because we were too busy having fun!)
The bedtime story was precious! They read a story in the lobby and all the kids wore their PJs. At the end of the story it snowed in the lobby!

| Audrey kind of missed out on the story, and was mesmerized by this guy eating chips. Haha! |
 |
| Getting into the wolf spirit! |
looks like a great weekend! Glad to hear the great wolf lodge is so fun...it's so close to us, but we've never been. Sounds like we will have to try it out!
