Here We Go Again...




Well, it is snowing yet again! Almost March and we're getting more snow...? This is getting a little ridiculous. It's been snowing off and on for the past 24 hours or so, we'll just have to wait and see what happens from here.





I spent last night at Great Wolf Lodge in Grand Mound. Ummm, has anyone ever heard of Grand Mound? No? Me either. Why in the world the GWL people chose to put their Washington State location of the lodge in Grand Mound I really have no idea. It was my first time staying there and it's a pretty cool place but I think probably best if you have smallish children.





I went with Christina and a family that she works for. The family has 3 boys and one of them brought a friend along so there was lots of work to be done. I spent most of my time following the four year old around. He's so fast! And never runs out of energy either. And he's quite stubborn. And loud. But very, very cute. This morning he came out of his bedroom and sat on the couch with Christina and I and said "So how did you guys sleep last night? Pretty good?" And it was just adorable. We spent some time in their indoor waterpark both yesterday and today.






Sorry I didn't get a better picture of it. I guess you can't really tell anything from this photos but basically everyone walks around the lodge in their swimsuit and flip flops and just goes in and out of this indoor waterpark. They have waterslides and a wave pool and a swimming pool and a hot tub and a kiddie area. I only did one of the big slides with the tubes. It was really crazy to be in there this morning because it was 80 degrees and we were all playing in the warm water but just outside the window the snow was coming down!





Christina and I hadn't had a sleepover in quite a few years so that part was really fun. We went down to the gift shop and bought a pound of chocolate and some diet coke and talked until pretty late last night -- quite reminiscent of many many sleepovers over the course of many many years. I'm a bit tired though. A night away from my husband spent on a hide-a-bed in a cold hotel room left me somewhat sleep deprived. I think I'll cozy into my bed with a mug of tea and watch a Harry Potter movie.










My mom bought me those flowers for Valentine's Day. I hope they don't mind the snow too much... maybe I should bring them inside with me where it's warm. It's so nice to have a little patch of spring in the midst of this seemingly endless winter :)
