great wolf lodge (may 2015)

I can't remember for sure, but I think this was our second trip to the Great Wolf Lodge in Grand Mound, WA. I'm not gonna lie. I kinda hate indoor swimming pools; unless they're as warm as warmer than bath water. If I am going to be in a little swimsuit dipping my toes into cool water, I like to at least feel the warm sun on my back. 

Needless to say, an indoor water park is really not my idea of a great time. I know I know, I'm a total baby. Even so, we did really enjoy our most recent trip to GWL. We like that it's big enough that there's something for everyone, but small enough that the older kids can wander off on their own and it's easy to keep track of each other. 

I didn't get any pictures of us in the actual water park (I was probably too busy cringing and holding a warmed towel around my shivering body), but here's a little sampling of the other fun things we did while we were there ... 

We had fun at the arcade (love the brows, Brooks!).



Joseph thought the lodge-themed bunk beds were pretty cool!

We had a good time with the new-addition ropes course.

We definitely enjoyed a yummy treat or two ...

Including a couple of unlimited-refill Icee cups.

Joseph loved getting to say "hi" to the Great Wolf himself (I'm guessing he has a name but I can't remember it right now).

And the kids enjoyed doing the MagiQuest adventure activity together. Or at least the younger three did--I think the older boys actually tired of it before long and headed back to the arcade.

This isn't exactly a picture of MagiQuest, but Mae is showing a MagiQuest wand that we purchased for the kids to share. 

And using the wand to attempt a spell on her brother:-)!

Joseph also enjoyed the evening PJ party where there's an interactive bedtime story and some crazy dancing;). We were only there for one night, which is plenty for us, and overall had a pretty great time.

I've been meaning to update our blog layout with the new family pictures we had taken in November. But since I'm not going to get around to it anytime too soon, I thought I'd include a couple with this post. Aren't ' they cute! The crazy part, though, is that as much as I LOVE these pictures (thanks to McKenzie Goff), they will already be outdated as of September. Here's why ... Dueck baby #5 Arriving September 24 th 2010

And to finish off April, we have ...  Earth-Day excitement! Porter's promposal to this sweet girl!! Which involved singing to her (with his bro. and buddies) in front of about 75 surprised onlookers. Happy Birthday to G-ma Loo:-) And sunny family day at the park ... Looks like the man bun is still going strong!;)

Baby Joseph

Another little miracle, Joseph Benjamin Dueck , arrived in our family September 5 th , 2010 at 3:23pm. Of course, every mom describes the birth of her children as miraculous--I know, I feel that way about each of mine--but in this case Joseph's healthy arrival really did turn out to be something of a miracle. But before I get into the story, I have some catching up to do since I haven't blogged at all about this pregnancy. So ... Here's me on the first day of school which was just two days before Joseph was born. Since I was taking pictures of the kids, James decided I needed one as well. I'm actually glad he did, because I had been meaning to get a picture of my baby "bump" for days if not weeks and hadn't gotten around to it. Of course, I thought I still had plenty of time to make it happen. And just very quickly, I have to throw out some highlights from this pregnancy which for some reason all have to do with Mae ... Mae telling me (during the first tri...
