Last minute vacation

Friday Scott called me and said he was going to surprise us and reserve a room at the Great Wolf Lodge in Kansas City for Saturday night. He had 2 days off and wanted to get away. They had rooms available when he checked on Thursday but when he went back into the website on Friday they were all booked up. He had made arrangements with a coworker to pick up his jet ski in Overland Park so we decided to go anyway. When we got to KC we stopped just to see if they had any rooms at the Great Wolf Lodge and they did. It was quite expensive but we decided to do it anyway. We checked in and then went to meet Scott's brother at Legends mall. We went and ate at Famous Dave's and then the guys went to pick up the jet ski while us girls went to hang out in the hotel. The girls took a nap and I dozed off talking to Ashley. Remember, I've been awake since 4 am Friday morning! It took Scott and Dustin longer than expected to get the jet ski. When they got back we headed back to the Legends for some shopping and ice cream from Cold Stone. Now we were ready to swim! The girls loved it! It took Chey a little bit but she had fun! The slides were lots of fun!

Cheryl didn't make a sound! She just floated in her life jacket & kicked her feet in the water. As soon as I took her life jacket off, she fell asleep! I guess it wore her out!





The bucket that drops 1000 gallons of water every 5 minutes!







We swam for a couple hours and then got some pizza from the snack bar and headed back to our room. We ate and then hit the sack.


We got up Sunday morning in time to go watch the story time in the lobby.

Then we took showers and went to IHOP for breakfast. When we got done with breakfast it was time for Cabela's to open. We looked around Cabela's and then headed for home.

It was a very fast trip to KC but an enjoyable one. We all needed to get away for a little break!
