We took Gram and Grandad to Great Wolf Lodge for their birthdays. Yes, they knew about it ahead of time AND wanted to go. So we packed up 1 suitcase and 6 bags of other random staff and headed all the over to Grapevine. (less than 40 minutes) We got a 'Kids Cabin' for our crew of 5, complete with a set of bunk beds, another bed within the cabin and our queen size bed on the outside of the cabin. Gram and Grandad got a regular room, right next to ours. 
It was great fun! The outside water park was open until 6pm, so we stayed out there until then. The water was freezing, but the air temperature was in the 90s, so as long as you didn't get in the water, you stayed warm. The water slides all used those inner tube rafts, so all 3 kids got to go down them. Very cute to see the 2 year old all excited about getting to do 'big kid' stuff! After it closed outside, we headed into the 80,000 square feet of indoor fun. Does 86 degrees sound warm? No, not when you are wet. (I much prefer the comfortable 98.6 degrees that my body tends to stay.) We had fun, but after 4 hours of being wet, cold and shivering, we were ready to get into pajamas... and the bunk beds!
The best part of the day/night? My mom putting the kids to sleep while John and I enjoyed a tasty beverage at the Grille. Thanks Mother!!
