Great Wolf

Helaman had some time off before going back to work, so we took a "stay-cation" to The Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine, which is 20 minutes away. They have a huge indoor water park (no suntan lotion necessary!!) with slides, forts, play equipment, and one enormous bucket of water that dumps out on you.


Charlotte was tall enough for the big rides (with an adult) but didn't really want anything to do with them.
Both girls loved running up and down the hallways, which were largely vacant. We had the place to ourselves!
Several times a day was story time, which was an animated and live show teaching kids not to be afraid.

The lodge also had a "Cub" Club the girls enjoyed.

Aaooo!

Family Reunion 2011

This year's Broadbent Family Reunion was in Seguin, TX, right outside San Antonio. We stayed in a large lakehouse that was just big enough for everyone. The kids enjoyed goat feeding, jumping on beds, swimming and getting to know cousins. The adults enjoyed catching up, swimming, basketball, slideshows and quilting! Dad shot a video of that which no one will ever want to watch!
