Happy Birthday Joshua- 11 years old!

We spent Joshua's birthday at the Great Wolf Lodge. He invited two buddies and had a really great time at the waterpark and hanging in the hotel. Steve and I endured the two days...for his sake. This is definitley not a vacation for the parents!! But it was a blast for the kids!

This was where the kids slept. It is a separate bunk area in the room.


And here is our balcony. There is an indoor and outdoor water park there.


We opened his presents in the room after ordering pizza. He got some cool stuff:



But he was most excited about this...he finally got a CELL PHONE!

The wave pool was a big hit with everyone



And of course the waterslides. The Texas Tornado was everyone's favorite!! Thomas and Charles had a blast too.




We came home Sunday exhausted to yardwork and laundry. The next day (on his actual birthday)we celebrated with cake after grilling hamburgers. It was a great birthday.
