Trip to Aggieland

Brian was heading to A&M for a couple days to do interviews for his company so Tyler and I tagged along. We took Tyler to A&M for the LSU game last year but he was only about 4 months old and we were in an out just for the game. This time I was excited to take Tyler to all the important landmarks :). We started off the first day at The Children's Museum in Bryan. I used to volunteer here in college for one of my education classes so it was fun bringing my son there to play. He LOVED it and there were only 3 other kids there the entire time. 



After nap time in the hotel room we headed to campus! 
Rudder Fountain

Checking out Academic Plaza

Century Tree....a must!

Then we headed to the MSC which is completely different from when I was there. We found this gigantic Reveille dog and Tyler was loving it! I had originally wanted to take him into the Flag room at the MSC but it was full of students studying and sleeping so I wasn't about to take my loud 1 year old in there! We did a quick walk by and then headed over to the stadium. 

This is Tyler breaking into the sacred burial grounds of previous Reveille's. I was trying to get his picture with the stadium in the background but he kept running under the rope. He thought it was hilarious...I was thinking we were going to get kicked off campus. 

This will be a fun picture for when Tyler get his Aggie ring in...20 years!

Stay-cation @ Great Wolf Lodge

This year my parents took us to Great Wolf Lodge for a stay-cation and it was so much fun! My sister is pregnant and due to have Hadley on October 28th so we had to stay somewhere close. I headed over to Great Wolf after Tyler's nap to meet up with Grant to get us all checked in. Tyler was in awe....and continued to run around squealing and yelling "wa-wa" pretty much the entire time we were there. Here are some pictures from the weekend.
 They do a great job of catering the hotel to families and Tanner LOVED his "room" (aka bunk beds). Tyler loved climbing up to the top bunk with him!

Tanner is practicing standing on his tip-toes so he would be tall enough to ride the big slides. Sadly, he didn't get away with it. Next year buddy!

Every night at 8 they have story time. Tyler's favorite part was the talking moose. Again...Tyler wouldn't stay still for me to get a good pic. At least I can document the cute matching pjs!
Story time with Grammy.

Yes...this is what my family does on vacation. They decided they needed "cute" pjs too.
Attempt at a family picture but Tyler was not having it.



The boys playing games in the arcade. I spy Hadley ;)

Tyler's room/corner. Thankfully there was a small partition between the sitting area and our bed so he couldn't see us. He slept great while we were there thankfully!
Dinner at a hibachi grill!
Can you find Brian & Tyler?

Tyler loved floating on his back in the hot tub!         
Also notice my parents in the tube! The grownups had to have a little fun of their own and go down the big slides. It was so fun!

Thanks to my parents for a great weekend at Great Wolf Lodge!
