Luke's Birthday at the Great Wolf Lodge

On Monday we took off to Kansas City to stay at the Great Wolf Lodge. Brad's birthday was on Monday although he was on call all day and Luke's birthday was yesterday so we took a mini trip to celebrate and have a last hurrah before we have to pack all of the stuff sweet baby brings to vacations! They brought their costumes for trick or treating at night (Jack decided not to wear his, is he getting to old?) And then had story time, all of these forest animals come to life and sing.
Guess who was there when we walked into the pool? Our friends the VanderZwaags! It was so fun to see them, we had no idea they were taking a last minute trip to the Great Wolf Lodge too but is was an awesome surprise! I got to hang out with Roberta again and Brad and Kris talked medical stuff, all while the kids swam and played.
Wiley Wolf comes out at the end of story time and the kids can all high five and hug him, Selah wanted nothing to do with him though! Not even the second night, the boys and Roberta's kids all said they would go with her to see him but no sir was she going. Luke told her he was nice and talked all about his clothes, she said she didn't like his boots!
Two full days of swimming!
Luke loves monkey bars everywhere he goes and in whatever form.
Poor Brad had to take turns with Luke and Selah on the big water slides where they needed a parent, I am way to pregnant right now! He was up those stairs a ton with the tubes.
Luke almost getting dumped on by the bucket.
Yesterday morning on his birthday he woke up very excited, he asked me "Why don't you have the flags and my presents out?" He wanted me to recreate our trip last year to the Wisconsin Dells for his birthday. I had the room decorated before Brad and the other two even woke up and THEN Luke felt like it was his birthday.
That night while they were going to sleep Brad told me they were all talking about how old they would be when the baby was this age or that age, and when Jack told Selah she would never be older than him or Luke she said "I want to be the boss sometime!"
