Great Wolf Lodge

Back in October, Ryan and I decided that we would try and break up winter with a trip to the Great Wolf Lodge in Sandusky, OH.  We didn't tell the kids where we were going until the morning of.  We left on Monday January 16th and came home on the 17th.  We had a one night stay with 2 days of swimming.

In swimming suit waiting for me to take their pictures so that we could head to the pool

There aren't a lot of pictures because we didn't want to leave our camera in the pool area, but just to let you know it was a blast!  You can look at pictures on their website and see the fun things that are there: http://www.greatwolf.com/sandusky/waterpark

The boys were not very happy that I made them pose for a picture before they could get in the water :)

Christopher kept looking at the water waiting until I said it was OK to go play

At night they have a large story time for the children. It is all robotic. 

They read a book with the wolf there.

After the show is over all the kids can meet the wolf.

The boys wanted to give him a hug

I wanted to get a picture of all the kids at story time but it didn't really work out too well

After story time we headed back up to our room to settle down for the night.

It was 11 before the boys fell asleep

The boys weren't going to sleep so we separated them and put Nathanial on the couch but somehow he ended up on/under the coffee table.

We had a very enjoyable time and we are glad that we went.  I think we will try and go next year!  All the kids loved it, even Emily (she is a little water bug).  There is something for everyone there.  Nathanial's favorite things were the slides with the inner tubes and Christopher's favorite was the blue slides that he could go down by himself.  Emily was happy as long as she was in the water and being held. Seeing our happy children was Ryan's and my favorite part!
