Great Wolf Lodge and Super Hero 5k

We kicked off our first girl's only weekend with a visit to Charlotte where we got to see not only Meme and Pa but Heather and Luke, too. Double bonus! And to add even more excitement, we squeezed in a visit to the waterpark at Great Wolf Lodge. Luke and Avery were fearless on the water slides and us adults had a great time wearing out the two four-year-olds. The lodge even had a special trick-or-treating event so the kids got to debut their costumes and I got to admire Luke's sweet jet pack AND jumpsuit with pockets!

The next weekend, Avery joined me for the Superheros v. Villains 5k. While I ran, as my favorite super hero of course, she enjoyed supervised gymnastics. Afterwards we hit the festivities which included a petting zoo, face painting, arts and crafts stations, and photo ops with other superheros. Perhaps my favorite part of the day was the post race picture Avery drew of her balloon dog, herself, and me dressed up as Wonder Woman. If you can't tell, I loved this race and will definitely make my way to West Cobb for the 2014 event. Maybe I'll even add to my Wonder Woman ensemble with a cape or crown and cuffs. I'll surprise you.
