We are Great Wolf Lodge junkies! We wanted to take Preston on his birthday but the rates for spring break were RIDICULOUS! So we went a few weeks early and this trip we roped in our friends the Ownbys to come with us. Preston was so excited to show Trenton all the slides.
Squirting others with water is always a favorite! Look at the smile on Trenton's face.
Elic thought he was big man on campus since he's been to the Lodge before. He wanted to try the wave pool and kiddie activity pool all by himself, but didn't argue when we said he had to be with an adult.
This is the "hurry up taking pictures, mom, so we can go play!" look.
I thought Darren was silly for bringing the Baby Bjorn with us, but he really did use it. And now that we have three to look out for, it was great to have free hands to help wrangle the older boys.
I was so happy to see that Preston seemed to pick swimming right back up from where we left off last summer. He only wore the life vest because it made his mom feel safer (yes, kids in water kinda makes me extra paranoid).
Trenton and Preston were all giggles as they slid down EVERY slide they could. I don't have any pictures of the water fort, but I think that was one of their favorites. They spent most of the day running up and down it.
We missed story time since the kids were still wanting to play in the water. But, we did make it for the animated show.
This was our first time to get a "fun" room. Usually we get the cheapest room which is the family suite- two queen beds and nothing special. But we felt that the boys were old enough for a bunk bed room. We chose the Wolf Den and it was so cute. The boys loved that they had their very own flat screen in their den.
It's great when your kids are so tired from all the swimming and playing that they ask to go to bed.
We let each boy play one game in the arcade. Preston loves this one. You basically "jump rope" over the digital line as it moves faster and faster. I wish I had pictures of Darren playing this game- it was quite funny (and he almost won the big jackpot!).
The second day was more swimming and more playing. Darren and Mark took Preston and Trenton to play water basketball. Trinity was sweet to give me girl time and ride a big raft ride with me and Stephanie. Although you can stay until the water park closes the second day you are there, we never make it past lunch time because the kids are so worn out.
Well, I don't think Holden had the best first experience with water (outside of a bathtub). Right when Darren set him down to splash with him a little, some kids ran by and drenched him. He never really recovered after that. We hope for better results this summer in the pool.
I really wanted a picture of all three before we left and they were so sweet to cooperate even though they were all extra tired.
Aren't they precious? Everyone was asleep in the car even before we left the parking lot. We can't wait until the next visit- who wants to go with us?

Looks like so much fun! One of these days Kenny and I need to take Colby out there.
