Weekend Recap - Mendy's Birthday and Great Wolf Lodge

Whew!
We had a busy and totally fun weekend.
 Ben and I got to go to the lake for our first night away without kids this weekend! We got to celebrate my SIL, Mendy's, birthday with all her amazing, sweet friends...that I totally love and also claim as my own friends. It was just so much fun to be there! They are all so beautiful and smart and engaging and just a blast to be around! Since they are all like 5 years younger than me and don't have kids...we definitely decided to leave kids at home! We left Kinley in Ty in the wonderful hands of Pops and Gram and were off for the lake!
   

We definitely enjoyed our day off with lots of fun in the sun.  

Mendy was a fantastic boat driver.  

Did I mention I love my SIL?? Happy Birthday Sister!  

 Meanwhile....Kinley got to go with Pops to see Madagascar 3. What a fun date!  

Does she look cool or what?!  

Have you seen a cuter kid in a bathtub?...I think not!  

There was also some reading time.  

I just missed them tons and was so thankful for the picture text updates! 

 THEN, as soon as Ben and I got home on Sunday, Kinley and I jetted out to Great Wolf Lodge for another mommy-daughter day! AAHHH...so fun.  

We were invited by our sweet church friends Geri & Addie during their mommy-daughter weekend. They had a couple extra wristbands and we were the lucky ones to get to go with them! Kinley and Addie had so much fun swimming...and hugging.  

We took some breaks for drinks and snacks.  

This is Kinley only eating the big pieces of sea salt off of her pretzel. (Takes after her Aunt Mendy)  

After more swimming, we got dried off and had some dinner where the girls got their wolf ears and Kinley could not help but howl!

I just love busy summer weekends like these!  It was so much fun!  

What were ya'll up to this weekend!?
