Great Wolf Lodge

Last weekend we celebrated Christmas with Clint's mom and that side of the family. Rita instead of buying us presents takes us on a family vacation- ALL of us. All I can say is brave woman. All of us includes: Tony- Rita's husband, our family of four, Clint's brother Chris, his wife Missy, and their two kids- Cody and Bree, Clint's sister Jodi, brother Kyle, and Abbi brought along a friend Kaylee - rounding out our merry band to thirteen people. This year she took us to Great Wolf Lodge and indoor water park in Traverse City, Michigan, and rented one of the Cabana's for us to all hang out. Enjoy the pictures and think warm thoughts - everyone in the cold that is.
