Great Times at the Great Wolfe Lodge

We were thrilled to be invited by The Great Wolfe Lodge to attend their second annual slide-a-thon to benefit the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program of the Charlotte area this past weekend. What a fabulous way to kick off the summer!!

Since Mike works on Saturdays, I invited my sister to come along with me, and the boys had a blast! We were treated so wonderfully by the folks at The Great Wolfe Lodge, with a buffet breakfast Saturday morning and a cabana in the pool area to hang out and take breaks!

From 11a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday, for every guest that slid down the River Canyon waterslide, Great Wolf Resorts donated $1 to the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program.The waterslide-athon event, now in its second year, occurred simultaneously at Great Wolf Lodge resorts across the country. The goal for this year was $250,000 nationally, doubling last year's goal.



We met with the local representatives from the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program and some of the management team from The Great Wolfe Lodge to hear about the wonderful partnership they have. You can tell that everyone involved really has a passion for this program. It's great to see a large organization committing to such a great cause.

It was a fabulous time for everyone and we had some tired little boys by the end of the day! But never too tired to pose for a picture!

Happy Pills

I'm a crazy person. At least, that's what I feel like some times. And it runs in my family. No, not really crazy (and don't take offense if you are one of me), but just clinically depressed and filled with anxiety. It's as if I don't have something to worry about in my head constantly, then I don't feel normal. Luckily, there's a pill for that. It's a bitter pill, one that I'll basically have to take the rest of my life, but I've slowly accepted that it's like any other disease, and just like diabetes or heart disease, that little pill is gonna make me better. But that little pill makes me gain weight, gives me the brain shivers when I miss it, and although I've tried to get off it multiple times, I just can't. So I guess that makes me an addict as well. But it's a pill that my grandparents and family didn't always have, and they suffer from it as well, so I should be thankful for this little red capsule of happiness...
