Gaylord Texan Stay-cation


For Father's Day this year we decided to surprise Brad with a night away at the Gaylord. We had never stayed at the Gaylord before. It has always been the Great Wolf :)... So I got us a night away so that we could spend some much needed time together as a family of 3 . We headed out Thursday morning and drove out to Grapevine. I wanted to have lunch with Harper at the Rainforest Cafe. She is so into animals that I knew she would love it and she did as expected. We almost couldn't keep her at the table because she wanted to look at all the animals and noises they were making. Made for an interesting lunch but I was so happy she loved it. Her favorite part was the alligator at the entrance. I swear she talked about him for two days . I was sad I did not snap a picture for her. Then we did a small amount of shopping  and rode a train in the mall before heading over to check in our room. We unloaded and headed down to the new pool. They had  a tiny little area for small children and that is all she needed. She had a blast ! She played in the water until she passed out for a quick nap. Then we had a nice dinner as a family and walked around to look at all the train stuff. They had a cowboy on stilts and a gold cowboy which Harper was scared of and a balloon maker who made her a poodle. Then we rented Happy Feet 2 in the room to relax before bed. It was a fun and relaxing day and we all had a great time. Here are some fun pictures of the day.
