Summer Vacation 2013

Our family embarked on an epic vacation this weekend. We went all the way to Grapevine to stay at the Gaylord Texan. The traveling was rough but we survived it. (Just kidding, the Gaylord is only about a 30 min. drive from our house).


Even thought we didn't travel we had an awesome time! On Friday night we took the kids to the Rainforest Cafe. They loved it!



Molly did NOT want to take a picture with the tigers! To her credit, they did move and roar every once in a while!

It took Cason a little while to warm up to the idea of taking a picture withe the tigers but he finally decided to be brave and do it!

Later that night we let them stay up WAY past their bedtime to see the fireworks over the lake next to the Gaylord.

The next morning we woke up, some a lot earlier than others (Cason was up at 6), and went to the small water park at the Gaylord named Paradise Springs. The kid's swam their little hearts out and floated on the lazy river.
They are ready to go swimming!



Two tired and cold kids!


After lunch we went back to the hotel for nap time then just explored the atrium inside the Gaylord.




 We took the kids to "Kids Silly Time" where they ate snow cones and got balloon sculptures.

We were sad to leave but I think we can all agree that it felt great to spend some quality time with each other. I can't wait to go on many more vacations with these guys.
