Great Wolf Lodge

Hi! We just returned home tonight after a 3-day family get-away to Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine, Texas, so I thought I'd share some pictures. After a stressful summer moving, the time away was long over-due. We planned the trip with our friends who also have 2 young boys: Ben (left) is 2 years old & Jack (middle) is 3 1/2 years old:

Our honeymoon was WONDERFUL, and Chad & I have taken many fun trips, but this is definitely now one of my favorite trips! Not only because it was our first family vacation, but just because it was 3 relaxed days enjoying Cade...3 days without any parent-toddler power struggles trying to make him fit into our schedules or behave in our stores, restaurants, etc. We were laid-back & did everything the KIDS wanted in a wonderfully family-friendly environment. I DEFINITELY recommend Great Wolf Lodge as a family-friendly destination!

Of course the swimming was fun (we took a disposable, waterproof camera, so I hope to get more pics up soon), but here are some other highlights:

• Kiddie pool with all kinds of water dumping, shooting, splashing, etc features, where Cade loved pulling this rope to dump water on Daddy.
• Dunking a "ball" in the basketball hoops and sitting on a "sssssss"nake in the activity pool.
• Howling like a wolf when the waves were coming in the wave pool.
• Stomping on the floor to see the wolf prints follow us through a floor-projection.
• Bedtime stories & songs with a singing "Moose" in the lobby.
• Our funniest memory was EVERY walk through the hotel lobby, halls, etc where they were playing fun dance music, where Cade would stop & dance, dance, dance!
