I have a need...

Here goes... I have a need. My eldest son, Gabe, has yet to have a 13th birthday party. I wanted to do something really special for him. I feel so bad for him, he's been so loving, understanding and helpful under some of the most trying circumstance, and his life just keeps being disrupted. I would like to take him and a few friends to Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine. I won't be able to swim in the park (something to do with little to no immune system, but hey, who needs it anyway!) but I can supervise, and being a hotel I will have a room to rest in. I think that he and his friends would have a nice time. I'm so sorry to ask, at this time I just can't make any celebration a reality for him and he's been so patient and looking forward to his party. I thank God with each and every breath, that I have this venue for expression, and friends and family willing to listen (and read!) my whining. My goodness! Don't you have something more interesting to do or read?????

  1. I need more information. Which room do you want-- the KidsCabin Suite or the KidsKamp Suite or can you get by with a regular suite? How many kids? They have a birthday present option, a birthday party option, a splashin' fun option, and a family retreat option-- which one is the one you want?
    There is also a room with a whirlpool in it. Can he wait until the end of February? If he can, it's a go-- I can handle most of it.

  2. I found out a little information from the Lodge. They do birthday parties in the Cub Club. Just let's us know the time and we will all work to make this happen. Please let us know what you need!
    Much love, Julie (3-Day medical crew)

  4. Lana,

    It looks like many people have set up for help with the party. I will help in any way you need as well. What I wanted to share with you is about the boy's school. I am ready to get with you and come up with a schedule for help with the tutoring. Call me and we will get going. I am going to GWL either next weekend or in three weeks with my kids. I would be glad to be there with you.
