A lunch out and the Great wolf lodge

This guy wakes up with the GREATEST hair sometimes.  He looks like summer right now.  
Here we are at breakfast, great wolf lodge style.  Wish I took a photo of how many slices of bacon were on Nick's plate.  Something about the buffet just gets my kiddos fired up!
Next to burn it off.  Lazy River first
Look at this little rock star.  Initially he wouldn't go down the big tube slides (every so often he shows signs of good judgement) but we knew he would love it.  FINALLY he went and YES he loves it!  It is true, in moments like this, its more fun to experience the water slides WITH Drew.  Loved watching his expressions and enjoyment.  Literally the best ride!
I would call Nick a water slide pro - Now he is the 'helping' aspect of water slide living
Shane is a huge fan too and just 1/2 shy of the 48" free for all.  He didn't miss a beat (or a slide)
While the kiddos were loving the slide - the ladies orchestrated a lunch away with each other - The Village of Grand Traverse - previously Northern Michigan's Asylum - The ground we beautiful and the level now filled with restaurants, and little artisan shops -

Here we are - the ladies of the Hartman family (minus Rachel - doing bridesmaid things and Luz with a big baby belly!)
Thank you to mom and Louise for such a nice treat - the time just us was really great!  Living in so many different states in so many stages of life - I truly value that we all came together for this beautiful wedding!

Just gotta put in a note on the great wolf lodge - it is commercial and lots of crazy kid stuff - but honestly its really well done and a great hotel.  Love the touches like this fireplace and really the whole meeting area. 
 I would say their mission is experiences - and it works.
Group picture anyone?
