For Christmas this year, my parents gave us a gift card to Great Wolf Lodge. We have wanted to go for a long time, so we were excited to try it out. The boys have been talking about it forever, especially Asher, and asking when we got to to. Unfortunately, Grandma Brewer’s funeral happened to fall right when we had this vacation planned. After much thought, we decided that I would stay with the kids while Shane went to Utah for the funeral. I was sad to miss on attending the funeral and remembering Grandma Brewer and the amazing woman she was, and also sad that Shane would miss out on our family vacation together.
My parents drove up Thursday evening, and Friday just after lunch we drove up to Great Wolf Lodge. Jake and Stacey left the same time as us, and Camille and Bryce and Becky and Nate met us there an hour or two after we arrived.
The water park was a lot of fun, and the kids loved playing in the wave pool, riding on the water slides (our boys were only daring enough for the smaller ones), and playing basketball in the pool. Asher and Madeleine loved the kid pool with the slides and spray toys.
For dinner, we got some Dominos pizza, and then I brought some orange cupcakes and we sang Happy Birthday to Asher. We then headed down to the clock time before heading to bed.
The next morning, we were back to swimming, with only a brief break for lunch. I even got to go with Camille on one of the big waterslides (I couldn’t convince any of the boys to go with me).
We had a great time, and we will have to go back!
