Quentin received a gift certificate to a travel agency from his work shortly after he started. Since I was pregnant, neither of us wanted to use any vacation time so we could save it for the baby so we decided to just do a weekend getaway at Great Wolf Lodge in Kansas City. It's a little indoor waterpark and we knew Brady would love it! We were right, although that may be a bit of an understatement. We went to play right after we got there and he did not want to leave to go to bed (which isn't a huge shock since he fights bedtime anyway). Then we went back right after breakfast in the morning and stayed until about 4:30. It was a long day for us, but I think Brady could have stayed forever. There were really only two slides he could go down because they won't let you hold him on your lap to go down the bigger ones, but he did it all by himself and loved every minute. He did not love the giant bucket that dumped every few minutes and made a huge sound, so we pretty much just hung out in the kiddie part, which worked for me since I was pregnant and not allowed to ride the other slides anyway.
This arcade was right next to the waterpark and we promised Brady we could go, so after we finished with the water we changed clothes and stopped in here for some fun. Brady played a few games and got enough tickets to pick some cheapo prizes that he was excited about. His favorite was riding these little "rides" though.
Afterwards we ate at Arthur Bryant's and headed home. I thought Brady would surely fall asleep on the way home since we swam right through nap, but boy was I wrong. He was so wound up! But it was a fun little trip (made even more fun by the fact we really only had to pay for gas, thanks to the generosity of the docs at Missouri Vein Care!)
