Water, Ice, Trains + Honeymans!

The Honeyman Christmas this year was at the Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine, TX. Such a fantastic, busy place. The boys had their own bunk beds to crash in, a huge indoor water park (we only lost one kid once), and a magic wand adventure course as part of the fabulous activities at this hotel. They had a blast from start to finish and this is why...


They had lots of family to love and entertain them...Uncle Jebo & Aunt Kay. Next Christmas we will have another little Honeyman running around! So exciting!
A 'wolf den' to sleep in! Stocked with a flat screen and all. It was 'oh so cool.'

Lala to bring the fun!

Not really eating the gingerbread cookies...more like 'put as much decorations on top, so that I can lick them clean!'

All I want for Christmas is 'a guitar and a drum.' Lala & Papa H provided. :)

And Drew has been playing ever since!

They really, really think they have their own rock band. Drew is also vocals as you can tell.

We have been getting excited about the 'Ice' show since leaving Houston. They watched the classic Grinch countless times on the way down. Didn't realize it's so short...had to watch over and over.

Just a cool shot of brothers with brothers. They were checking out the huge train town/tracks.

The amazing Gaylord Hotel

Drew loving on Jebo.

Sneaking in for a shot. :)

Because the boy will never look at me behind a camera. Lunch before the show.

Everything can be entertaining...

The full length heavy duty parkas they provided for the meat locker...

The THEME for the ice show. It's incredible that this is ALL ice!


30 men from China flown in to chisel out from one block of ice per scene.
I had to touch the cake to make sure it was really ice! Indeed it is! Every bit.

What is amazing is...

they finished the task in 30 days!

The beautiful, crystal clear, breathtaking full scale Nativity scene!

Love that I got to be in some pics! BJ was kind enough to carry the camera through the ice show. Thanks honey! I really do exists!!

Off to another long line...

Of course, the little ones are chicken fighting. :)

No, he does not ever sit still. :)

...the Polar Express train ride! Best thing is both activities are seconds away from the hotel.

A 20 minute Christmas musical show beforehand, which Drew slept through. :)

A walk through live pines & falling snow! It had a wonderful smell. Love Drew's face in this. He had just woken up. Me, I just look older...sigh.

It was a beautiful restored train.

Ahhh....

Drew looking for Santa...

Tyler cared mostly about feeling the wind in his hair.

Drew still looking...you would think he is not scared of Santa.

Here he is!!

And here is Drew again...horrified of Santa!! No way he was letting Santa touch him. :)

But not Tyler!!
What a rememberable, fun, entertaining trip! Thank you Lala & Papa H for making it happen!

In this World now a days the business of bunk beds are expanding day by day because of their features like coolness, easiness, comfortable, designs, charm and softness. Due to these features many boys like the boy bunk beds. In different college universities these boys bunk beds are mostly used and liked by the boys.
