Well its official

I booked our summer vacation starting the 2nd last week of July.

Great Wolf Lodge here we come   lol

We went not last summer but the summer before, kids loved it, so off we go again.

My brother and sil, and their 2 kids are going, my aunt and her 2 kids then my parents are going. (everyone pays their own way)

I need to save up and extrea 250-300 a month till July, my room for me and the 3 kiddos is 290.00 a night (staying 2 nights) includes breakfast buffet, lunch and then dinner, for both days (well 2nd day includes breakfast and lunch) since checkout is at 1pm.

Cant wait to go. I am giving up smoking to save me an extra 32.00 a month for my 2 cases of smokes, dd is done formula now so the 33 a week that I paid for her case of formula is going into the pot for our trip, on top of the 250-300 from baby bonus every month. lol

We should be good, to chip in 150 for gas, hotel room, extras from the gift shop, and we get a small kitchen in my moms room, so we can keep all our snacks (so no need to spend extra $ on that) lol

Chloe will be 16 months in July and will have so much fun in the pool and baby waterslides (I hope)

Where is everyone vacationing this summer?

That's awesome!!  
We are going to take the kids to a big water park this summer. We went to the beach last year, but I will be way too pregnant to drive that far this year! Lol

We are headed to Asheville NC to visit my grand parents so they can meet the new baby. We stop at the Shenandoah Caverns and spend the night there, then keep driving. I think we are going to Dollywood also while we are out there.

I was pregnant the last time we went to great wolf lodge and I didnt know, I spent so much time on waterslides and in the hot tub, I was like 4 months along. I didnt find out till I was 6 months pregnant. lol Even though I had all the morning sickness every day from day 1. lol

We'll be going on a family camping trip again this summer like we did last summer! Back home in Colorado, me dh and LO, both my bro's and my oldest brother's LO, and my mom and her husband. Hopefully my cousin and her husband and LO will be able to go too!! Last year was the first year we did it and it was kind of a bust because we couldn't have a campfire because it was so dry and then on the second day is poured all day long, lol. The boys had a blast though and it was my LO's first time camping.

DH and I are thinking of maybe going to Branson in April/May if my mom can fly down here and watch LO that whole week.

I hate that ill miss out on the hot tubs! Haha. I love those things! But, let's be honest, I wouldn't get much time in with 4 small kids anyways. Haha
