Birthday Weekend!

Last Friday was my birthday and I had the best birthday weekend! :) We drove down south on Thursday to stay with Nana for the night. We took a trip to Golden Gardens and walked on the beach. Danielle had a blast chasing seagulls and throwing rocks in the water. On Friday we headed down to the Great Wolf Lodge south of Olympia. If any of you have ever considered visiting the Lodge, we highly recommend it! We were there just one night but we had a BLAST!! On Saturday afternoon we drove to GG and Grandpa's house for a birthday party & dinner. It was so nice catching up with my entire family. We arrived home late on Saturday and we wrapped up my birthday weekend with a dinner party at the Crovo's which was so nice and relaxing! Thank you everyone for your birthday wishes. I had a great weekend and I hope this year is full lots of new adventures and happiness!!

Chasing seagulls. I tried to capture the beautiful fall colors but this picture doesn't do justice.

Great Wolf Lodge...

The toddler area, which is where we played most of the time. Danielle mastered the slides in this area.

Having fun in the arcade.

After trick or treating we had dinner and then took a bath. Danielle turned into a ballerina. We went down to the clock tower for story time and dancing. She was quite the dancing queen.




Story time at the clock tower. It was an animated story... Danielle LOVED watching the story.


Danielle's DANCE DANCE USA!!


Wave your hands in the air.


She was so fun to watch dance. She was mimicking the older kids dancing!!

After our fun at the Great Wolf, we drove north to my parents house to have dinner. I got my favorite cake, birthday cake remix (thanks Kimmy)! And had a nice time catching up with the fam.


Yum, birthday cake remix!

On Sunday my good friends Shay and Annie & their families made dinner for us. It was a great night and a wonderful dinner.
