Lost Pines Resort

... Possibly the BEST family resort I have ever seen!

Lucky for us, John had a conference this past weekend in Lost Pines, TX and we (the family) were able to tag along. Boy are we glad we did! What a fun place! From sun up to sun down there were constant activities (FREE) for the family to enjoy. Some of the activities included: face painting, hay rides, wagon rides, bike riding, smores every night, outdoor movie (every night), scavenger hunts, etc. There was more than we could enjoy. And, of course, they had a fantastic water park... lazy river, beach area, water slide, toddler area with splash pad and 1 foot pool... there was also an adult pool area (we didn't see much of that).

Every night we enjoyed complimentary smores and an outdoor movie with popcorn. The kids thought they were in heaven and never wanted to come home. One night we even went on a stargazing tour. It was lots of fun! I really can't say enough about this fabulous place! And one of the best things... our Dad was done each day by lunch time!! Hooray!!! We seriously had a great time together.

Connor was so tired on Saturday that he just fell asleep in his little yellow tube.

Connor loving the splash pad area for kids.

The kids loved the water slide... they could have done this ALL day :).



Riding bikes while Dad was in his conference.
We quickly decided the bug wasn't the best for Connor and went back for the trike (which I have to say was awesome!) I was able to push him like a scooter, because his feet couldn't reach the pedals. This way we were able to keep up with the other two :). We actually rode the bikes everyday we were there. John was even able to join in the fun on Saturday.

Abby loved sitting on top of the Longhorn.

Face Painting

Smores... Yummy!

Abby and Dallin love this game! It is actually pretty funny to watch them play.

We quickly learned we really couldn't afford the restaurants there on the resort property and ran to the grocery store for supplies.

All tuckered out.

You know the kids have had fun when they sleep in until 9am!!!

Thanks John for letting us tag along! And thanks to UTHSC for picking such a family friendly place. We had a great time as a family.

  2. What fun...so fun that I just googled it thinking it would be a fun place to go with Cannon. Did you stay at the Hyatt because the rates that I saw were OUTRAGEOUS!!! Just wondering if that is the same place you are talking about. You always do such fun things, your kids are so lucky to have you!
