Great Wolf Lodge

Here we are at the Great Wolf Lodge just outside of Olympia in Chehalis, WA. (Sharon and Tyson if you make it up to Vancover WA, it is worth it!!) Anyway, we had a mini vacation last week with some friends from the boat. We spent 2 1/2 days there enjoying the indoor pools! An amazing thing to have a water park in Washington and not freeze. They had a great wave pool, kiddie area, water dump zone with 2 water slides and then of course the slides with tubes. The best was the tornado! It is a 4 person tube ride that you could just ride over and over again for the thrill of it. We found a Great Wolf Lodge outside of Dallas (Grapevine,TX) if anyone is interested in going somtime. (ie. vacation with us for a bit then head north on the way home) Anyway, just a thought and we hope you enjoy these small video clips.

home at last

With the final patrol finally at an end we are together at last. We are so happy that Scott is back and the kids are even more thrilled. Riley was heart broken the 1st 2 mornings she woke up and he was gone. She thought he had left again and was in tears or very close to it. Here are a couple pics to share the moment with you.

Sheesh

Weight loss

So i am so excited cause I am hoping to be under 200 next week!! I have lost 14 pounds, and hopefully it will keep coming. I am frustrated though cause I feel like I can let myself go a little more cause I am doing so well. I am trying not to think that way though. I went to the store and bought size large womens shorts to work out in. I was so excited!!! I have lost over 5 inches around my whole body. Anywho I just had to share. I am so glad that we are doing this. Not for the money, but it is motivating me to get my butt in gear for Steve to come home!
