Great Wolf Lodge

We had decided not to go to GWL this year, since we are going to Utah for Spring Break, but we got an awesome coupon and couldn't resist. We surprised the kids with it. They had no idea we were going. They had two half days on February 24 and 25, so we left right after they got home on the 24th and headed on up to Grand Mound, Washington.

The view from our room


It was so much fun! And what made it even better was that two of our good friends went up at the same time. Brandon and Kenyon had a great time going and doing there own thing with their friend Matthew. We let them just take off and check in with us periodically. Shaylee LOVED the big water slides, that she could go down and she went on them over and over and over again. She has no fear, we had to really watch her because she would just take off on us. She gave me a few scares, but we always knew where to find her- at the big red and yellow slides. Jaron was not sure he was going to like this new adventure (that is putting it mildly since he when we tried to put his swimsuit on and swimmers, he was screaming bloody murder in fact he kept telling us he wanted to take a nap. He was sobbing nap, nap, I take nap! It was so sad), but once we got into the water in the little kids area, he had a blast. He loved splashing and jumping around. We had such a fun time and we can't wait to go again.

Jaron loved biting his life vest. He bit a hole right through it.






Shooting baskets was Jaron's favorite
activity. Surprise, Surprise!

Great pics especially the one of the bucket dumping the water! We had so much fun also! I've decided that place is kid heaven!

That place sounds fabulous! I'm so glad all your kids ended up having a good time. Water slides are so addicting, aren't they? It's cute how you guys do so many fun things with your children. You're building such great memories!

That looks so fun. We need to come take a vacation up there and go there sometime. Our kids just weren't good ages when we lived out there, but someday....
