Gigi & Poppy Weekend

Alex had a curling tournament up in Pittsburgh this weekend so Gigi and Poppy came to help get the kids to and from school on Thursday and Friday.  It was a cold weekend, but we had a blast!
   
We walked to Camp North End on Saturday for Wentworth and Fenn treats and Hex coffee.  The kids played with the lawn legos and the swings.
      
    
    
   
Harper, the monkey!
   
   
We went to the first Charlotte FC game of the season Saturday night.  It was fun to show Poppy and Gigi our team!
   
   
   
   
   
   
We won!
    
   
We had a picnic in Romare Bearden Park Sunday afternoon then took the Lynx to get ice cream.

Father-Daughter Dance

Harper and Alex went to the Father-Daughter Dance at Irwin this weekend.  I had to work, but Lisa was sweet enough to watch Little Man.  The dance was a masquerade.

Great Wolf Lodge

Alex's parents took us to Great Wolf Lodge this weekend!  It was a fun get-away twenty minutes from the house and the kids had a blast.  There are so many things for kids to do at Great Wolf Lodge.  There was swimming, ice cream, build-a-bear, bowling, the list goes on and on!  Ethan and I had to leave early Sunday as he woke up with swimmer's ear from all the swimming.  It was a great weekend!
   
Dinner time!
   
As soon as we finished eating, we headed to the pool.  The swimming area stays open until eight at night.
   
   
Ethan absolutely loved these lily pads!  He did this a hundred times!
   
   
    
I didn't even get a picture of Harper as she was in the wave pool with new friends the entire time.  She went on some of the inter tube slides with Grandad too.
    
     
They had shows in the lobby nightly.
   
The kids made a build-a-bear.  They both picked the same bear, clothes and accessories. 
      
Ethan pushed the petal to stuff his baby.
   
He was able to make a wish on and kiss the little heart that goes in the stuffed animal.
    
    
    
      
   
Dance party!
      
     
Our room had a cute Wolf Den area with bunkbeds for the kids.
     
The kids mined for gems.
    
   
Bowling
   
   
   
   
   
Arcade
     
   
There was also a lot of dragon fighting and questing.
