The insides of the cupcakes were so bright and colorful. The kids loved them.
My completed cupcakes for the party. I topped each one with chocolate frosting and then covered each with a fondant circle to make the Ugly Doll faces. They were super easy to make.
The room was impossible to get a good photo of. We could have upgraded and got a super nice suite but I decided to go with this one because I just knew that the kids would love the kid cabin inside of it. They had their own space, complete with bunk beds and tv. It only had 3 beds in it but that was no biggie since E's guests couldn't stay the night anyway (they had school the next day and I opted to keep my kiddos out).

So, I got this great deal for GWL a couple of months ago and booked it for Emerson's surprise birthday party. He really had no clue. I showed up in the room before he got there to decorate it. Clayton said that he was still clueless when they drove into the parking lot. When they showed up at the door, E was amazed when he saw the room decked out for his special day. He was super excited and the look of happiness that he had made it all worth it. Shortly after he arrived, his guests showed up. We took off immediately to play in the water park and it was pretty much deserted. They had the place practically to themselves. There was maybe 15 total swimmers in the whole park. Gosh, it really is beneficial to live only 10 minutes down the road so that we could go on a weekday. The boys played hard and then had some nasty pizza from one of the eateries in GWL. It was beyond terrible but it didn't seem to phase them. After the park closed, we headed back to the room for cupcakes and snacks. The guests left and we went to bed.
The next day, which was Emerson's actual birthday, Clayton had to go to work so I took the kiddos to breakfast. We then did MagiQuest until lunch time. I took them out to lunch and then we hit the water park again. They played all afternoon until Clayton got back from work. Emerson was hungry for steak so we had his birthday dinner at Texas Land & Cattle. All in all, I think E had a wonderful birthday. :)

Go on a weekday and avoid the pizza - got it.
The little cabin looks really cool. I can't imagine a kid who wouldn't enjoy that. Sounds like a fantastic birthday.
Cute cupcakes!! I love GWL! :)
That room is awesome! And we've had the 'super nice suite' at GWL. It's the same as every other room so I think you actually had the cooler of the two. I mean, not the exact same, but it's not any better, trust me.
