Great Wolf Lodge

Another thing we were able to do on our extra week of Christmas vacation was go to Great Wolf lodge when very few other people were there. This was Eli and Lizzy's first time to go. While Greg was checking us in, the kids were checking out the fun to come.

 Elizabeth was very hesitant at first. She thought everything looked fun, but was not so sure about water slides. The first one we went on was a tube ride that we could all go on together. Elizabeth held my hand the whole time.. in line... on the ride... at the end she said "that was fun, lets do it again". Then she was off... she did not hesitate on any of the other rides. I would say her favorite place to play was the wave pool though. She would go and just play in there by herself for a long time. In fact one time Eli followed her in the wave pool and she told him to stop following her, she was playing by herself. (She and Eli are in the middle of the picture)

 My oldest beauty, having a great time at the lodge!

 This was Eli's favorite place to play... I don't know where all he was but when I could not find him he would be in this structure somewhere...

 either coming down a slide or running across the many bridges

 I would say this was Caroline's favorite place to play. If we were not going down slides she could usually be found up at the top part (see her head peeking over )... up there you had many ways to dump water on the people below in the lazy river.... she spent a lot of time in that area!

 Overall the kids had a great time. They continue to ask when they can go back. Actually Elizabeth wanted to live there! They were the perfect age to go because they were tall enough to go on all but one water slide! They were also old enough the us parents could sit at a table and watch them play!
