Holiday Fun in Grapevine

We had a weekend of holiday fun in Grapevine with the Barho Family.  We stayed Friday night at the Gaylord Texan and Saturday night at Great Wolf Lodge.

The Gaylord Texan is beautifully decorated for Christmas.

Ready for ICE!  

 

Bundling up.  It is only 9 degrees inside the exhibit!

 

 

Sculptors used over 2 million pounds of carved ice to tell the classic story of Rudolph.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When the younger kids headed to bed, we stayed up to work on the scavenger hunt around the hotel atrium.

Julia's 10th Birthday

We had a great day celebrating Julia!  It was "Donut Sunday" at church, we went to Mighty Fine for lunch, the Ben Hur Shriner's Circus, and came home for dinner (Julia requested grilled macaroni and cheese pizza) and ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins.  

Kindergarten Play

The Kindergarteners performed their Thanksgiving play this morning for all the parents.  Colin played the part of Squanto and did so well.  He was thrilled to have been selected for the "half naked Indian" role.

Weekend in Galveston

We spent a couple hours on Friday afternoon at the beach. The kids had a blast and spent most of the time searching for seashells and other treasures.

We had dinner on the upstairs balcony at Fish Tales. 

Pleasure Pier in the background

We had so much fun at Pleasure Pier!

We spent Saturday at Schlitterbahn. It was a great day for it because the skies were overcast and there was a nice breeze.
