We just got back from GREAT WOLF LODGE in grapevine TX.  great trip kids had fun at the water park jason and I enjoyed seeing them have so much fun!!! I loved going down the 5 person slide with my whole little family!! We had the best time!! The kids went on magi quests ( kinda a scavenger hunt for items around the whole hotel.) We really did have so much fun!!! Next time I must be in better shape...so much stair climbing! Lol. We stayed there over 2016 Christmas and it was so amazing to no have any extened family fighting!!! I am so going to plan trips for future holidays.  Ingrid did not have the chance to scream her head off at me over nothing important in front of my kids!!! Yay!!!!
I really don't want to mingle with crazy anymore lol....no parents mine or Jason's guilted us into one more family event.
No 3 dinners that had to be attended!!! BEST HOLIDAY EVER!!! only down side was the drive home...I was so tired and needing home by then 10 hours felt like 2 weeks!!! Lol we were ready to be home. And since holidays are over we are kinda left alone.   And then I found out my leg is broken ( sad face) but I kinda knew it was with how bad it hurt. 6 weeks in a boot stay off as much as possible and hopefully heals up and then physically therapy. Happy new year!!!

We just got back from GREAT WOLF LODGE!! we had so much fun!!! A Christmas well spent with my own sweet little family.
4 fun filled days at a gigantic indoor water park, and magi questing. Absolutely no extended family drama!!! I was so happy even with a broken leg!!! I found out I have a straight line stress fracture. On my ankle. 6 weeks in a boot again.  Oh well at least we had fun at great wolf. I have to be in better shape next time we go. Lol so many stairs.

Time out in the road....

We were driving back from a fantastic/amazing epic Durango thanksgiving... And my kids just about went all holly Holmes on each other!!!
They yelled about someone singing too loud, touching someone else's belongings, and in general just teasing and screaming and trying to hit and kick each other from the back seats if the car.  So in order to calm them down jason and I pulled over and had them get out and do jumping jacks until we were calmed down. Finally they just started laughing at us....so we had each finish 50 full correct jumping jacks before they could get in the car. Cole finished first, followed by emma....then laci was determined to get out of the whole thing by crying and carrying on. She finally finished after 10 more min. Then processed to get in the car and grump around I tried to talk to her but she kick the back of Jasons seat... That earned her 20 more jumping jacks. Jason quickly got her out of the car....and we waited 15 more min for her to stop stomping around before she asked calmly if she could trade for 20 push ups. Sure...(what ever will get you to wear your body out. ).  So she calmed her self down and did 20 great push ups. She got back in the car and was mellow. Longest road time out so far in our lives!!!!😬😬😂😂😂 . Now we are driving a long and peace and relaxed kids are in the back🎉🎉🎉 ... I did tell them if another mma breaks out....we will pull over and 100 jumping jacks or pushups will be required. So will see how long this peace lasts!!😂😂😂😂
