More Pictures from Great Wolf Lodge






Here are some more pictures of our trip with the Saurs to Great Wolf Lodge.

Great Wolf Lodge




Last week we spent two days at Great Wolf Lodge in Traverse City, Michigan with the Saur family. We all had a blast! There were only 8 families in the entire hotel, so we basically had the place to ourselves. We spent the majority of our time in the waterpark, but also spent time in the craft room and arcade. The kids completed a scavenger hunt and listened to a bedtime story performed by the animals. We had a "Wolf Den" room which meant that Ryann and Camden had their own special den (complete with bunk beds and a TV) within our room. They thought that was pretty neat. I would definitely recommend visiting Great Wolf Lodge if you haven't. November is a perfect time to go!

Hope's 9 Month Doctor's Appointments


Hope's 9 month well-child checkup went great! (Camden might disagree as he received a surprise flu shot at her appointment.) Hope finally got a little taller. She is 27 and 1/2 inches long and is a little over 19 lbs. She is now in the 50th percentile for both height and weight as compared to other 9 month olds. Dr. Henderson said that she was "just perfect". Needless to say, we were very pleased.

In addition to her well-child checkup, Hope also had an appointment with her Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist. She had to have a scope performed on her again, and she didn't like it one bit. The good news is that the scope looked great and she will not have to go to see the ENT any more.

Halloween



The kids had a great time at Halloween this year. The Dondits, Saurs, and Grandpa and Grandma Bogart came over. Both of the older kids were baseball players this year and Hope was the standard first year pumpkin. They had a great time and brought home a lot of candy. We have two big bags left if anyone wants some.

We had a great time carving pumpkins. As usual, Ryann would not touch the pumpkin guts. Camden and Hope had no problem. Brent had another great creations this year -- he continued his love for the Detroit Tigers.
