Getting into the Christmas spirit

To start the Christmas season off right, we planned a little trip. We had a class field trip to the Austin Capitol, but left from there to head up to the Great Wolf Lodge, where they have an indoor water park at the hotel.

We got in a little late, so we had to hold off on the park until Saturday. We started Saturday with what I would call a pretty, da-gone tasty breakfast buffet. Of course a little pricey, but a nice selection of food. We then headed to ICE, the exhibit they bring to the Gaylord Texan every year. This year it was a Charlie Brown Christmas, one of my favorite movies.


We were cold at 12 degree temperatures




Doesn't anyone know the true meaning of Christmas?



Good ole Snoopy

Afterwards, we headed back to swim. We ate pizza for a late lunch - Zachary's favorite food. Then played video games for a bit. Of course he won some silly prize that cost way more than it was worth, but he so happy with it.


And then Santa showed up, so we had to get a pic with him. And no less, Zachary started listing off all these different items he wanted from Santa. And dinner, after that, was quite tasty.


All in all, we had a great trip! We finished off our adventure with a stop by Scott and Leah's new place on Sunday. We got the official tour of their home, which was lovely! And we had lunch before we left Dallas at a BBQ place. The food was so good, and they gave you "complimentary" Blue Bell ice cream. How can you go wrong!!!
