Lost Again...

Jack was recently asked to attend a conference in Bastrop, TX at Hyatt Lost Pines. I'm not gonna lie, I LOVE conferences. When we were little, my dad used to go to them all the time and it's how we got to travel the world. Now, Jack gets to go them pretty often and it's how we get to tag along on some pretty neat adventures. 

Jackson was ready to go as soon as we said 'vamos' and when we got there he was so excited to take in all the sights. Last year he really enjoyed his time there but this time it was a whole new ball game. He reveled in the Colorado River (which lines the property) and it took everything for him not to jump into the pool as soon as he saw it. Since we got there so late he couldn't swim but guess who was ready-to-go at breakfast?! 

This cub was ENAMORED with the pool. So much so that the first day out we were there from 9:30am-5:30pm with only an hour nap in between. Oh, and he stopped 10 mins for lunch...

                    

After swimming ALL DAY you'd think he'd be tired but he decided to take a stroll in the butterfly garden...

 And then attend a luau with his dad and I. The older kids LOVED him and he LOVED those 'niños' as he calls them now...

      

The second day out dada got to join us for a bit in the pool and he thought it'd be fun to take the cub down the slide. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves...

 Jack did a great job of not scaring him by not dunking him. I was not that safe. He was dunked with me, but he didn't mind it. I'd like to tell y'all that he really enjoyed the slide, but the truth is he didn't hate it but he didn't love it either.

 We decided the lazy river was much more up his ally...

His preferred water feature however, was the splash pad...

Where he thoroughly enjoyed lounging on the chairs in between runs...

 Cool kids in our shades.

 Jackson's favorite part about this trip however were the 'burros' on the property. We discovered them on our second day and thank GOD we didn't discover them sooner. He was INFATUATED with them.

 He got to feed them, pet them and love on them. He only asked about them about 80,000 times and every time he'd run over to our bedroom door and want to see them again. And Again. And Again....

We had so much fun on this trip. This place is so great for kids and adults. Jackson enjoyed it more this year than last. We will definitely be coming back year after year and who knows what newest obsession Jackson will find next year!
