Great Wolf Lodge
Well, what a week it was! Avery may have very well had the best birthday any 3 year old could have asked for! It was seriously a week long celebration!
First, Mimi took Avery and her bestest (girl) friend Hailey to Great Wolf Lodge to spend the night and play in the in-door water park. We arrived on Thursday afternoon and literally played all day in the water park. It was great for Avery's age and she really loved it! Her favorite was the lazy river - which was more like a wavy river. We just stuck a life jacket on her and she floated around that thing for hours (pretending to save the mermaids).
That evening we ate dinner at Great Wolf Lodge and she had her first round of candles and singing waiters (round 1). Later that night we slept in the coolest room that has a "Kids Cabin" built right in the room. She and Hailey slept in their own little cabin with bunk beds, a flat-screen tv, and little critters painted all over the walls.
Oh, and before we went to bed, the girls got to go down in their PJ's for a live show and story time in the hotel lobby. The animals and trees literally came to life to sing and dance, which the girls really enjoyed. Here is a picture of the little tree house that was also in the lobby. (see the girls running crazily in a circle).
The next morning we adults were dragging a bit, but we finally made it back to the water park. The girls still had lot
s of energy and swam and swam all morning until we headed home. I really was impressed with the facilities - everything was really clean and it truly wasn't too crowded. This was probably due to going during the week. However, I think that Avery will be able to enjoy it even more at age 4 since there were a few rides that she wasn't tall enough to do.

Perfect for kids and Avery had more candles and singing waiters (round 2).
Birthday Party
The time finally came for Avery's true birthday party on Sunday afternoon. She had been looking forward to this for weeks having already insisted and picked out her Princess birthday cake. We had her party at The Jumping Party facilities in Fort Worth. This is truly her favorite place to go...she loves bouncing in the bounce houses and sliding down the massive slides. And I love taking her there as it surely guarantees an afternoon nap!
We invited all her friends at preschool and other kids that belong to our friends. They had a great time bouncing and sliding for 1 1/2 hours.
Avery's presents
Avery had such a great party. There was gift opening, sliding, pizza, cake, candles (round 3) and friends! Thanks to all who attended and to those of you who couldn't attend, I hope you enjoy reading this post and seeing all the pictures.
