Great Wolf Lodge

Thanks, in large part, to some Christmas money our family received, we took our first trip to Great Wolf Lodge this week. We were too sick at Christmas to use it then and decided to save it for later. So glad we did! I say "first" trip because we want to go back. We liked it a lot! The older two were able to enjoy all the slides. Aubrey could do all but one (wasn't tall enough for the biggest one), and Grant wished he was taller so he could go with the big kids everywhere they went. There was plenty for him to do, too, though. We spent a lot of time in the wave pool.

The kids had a couple days off school, so Greg took a day and a half of vacation, and we spent one night there. We played in the water once we got there, had a nice evening back in our room with some popcorn and snacks. We went to the lodge's "story time" and even got ice cream before bed. The next morning we hit the water park when they opened and played all morning, with one snack break back in our room. We just had a really great time as a family. We were exhausted by Friday afternoon when we left, but it was a good kind of exhaustion--from all the water fun and excitement.
