Great Wolf Lodge

A couple weekends ago we were invited to head down to the Great Wolf Lodge in Grand Mound, WA with our dear friends, Celeste and Bryan and their boys and her sister Carissa and her husband Adam and their kids. It was an absolute blast. The hotel has a huge indoor water park for the guests to play in and it is so much fun. Macade and Braxton just loved the kiddy pool and the wave pool. We got there Friday about 4 and headed to the water right after we got there and met up with the Greatest People in the world, Celeste, Bryan, Carissa and Adam!! The kids played for about 2 hours and then we headed up to Celeste and Bryan's room and got some Pizza. After which we got Braxton in bed and headed down stairs with Macade to storytime. it is a little play and story they put on everynight for the kids before they go to sleep. Then they got to meet the Wolf! Macade loved it.
Early on Saturday we were up and headed to the park again for a full day of playing. From 9-5 we played and played. no naps for either of my kids and they did GREAT! I am so proud of them. The "dad's and mom's" Switched off with the kids so that we adults could enjoy the big waterslides at times. They were so much fun. I think that Carissa and Celeste got more of kick out of my facial expressions and screaming while headed backwards than anything, don't you girls think? I would go back just for those, they were great! When we headed home we were not 2 minutes out of the parking lot and both boys crashed. It was a full, busy day and VERY fun! We are definetly going to plan another trip there in the future!

Meeting the Wolf (i forget his name)

Macade loved the lilly pads!

The water park.

And last but not least. Bryan thought it would be great to have Me, Carissa and Celeste race across the lillypads to see who got the fastest time. By timing us, he decided to film us. Well for your amusment, here i am taking my turn. I have no idea who won, but i did cruise pretty fast across for an old gal:-) My facial expressions say it all! (And now Bryan you can't use this as blackmail since i just posted it for all to see...HA HA)
