So for our best friends this year, we decided to gift them a trip to Great Wolf Lodge. We found an amazing deal and even convinced them to let us invite ourselves along too! Even though no one in either of our families had been before, the kids were SO excited.
Since Ethan was so young, my sister so graciously offered to watch him for the 2 days while we were gone. I knew he was going to be spoiled and loved on and that allowed me to enjoy a few days with my oldest boys and our friends.
We took off on Thursday morning at the end of January (the kids had been counting down the days since Christmas!!) and got to the Lodge right after lunch. We arrived just after they allow you to check in and once we got settled in our rooms quickly, we headed down to the water area. The kids' eyes were huge as they took it all in.
We swam and swam, ate dinner in the hotel room, played their Magic Quest game, watched their storytime and all went to bed happy but tired. The next morning we enjoyed a breakfast we had brought and headed down for more swimming. Benjamin and Jonah went down this purple slide about 100 times, they were having so much fun. The adults took turns going on the bigger water slides which were really fun. We really only stopped to eat our packed lunch and we finally headed out that evening after ordering a few pizzas. We got home really late that night but the boys fell asleep in the car on the ride back and I was more than delighted to come home to Ethan. We sure were tired though and spent a good part of the next day (Saturday) just resting.
We all had a blast though and really want to go again. The boys ask about once a week if we are going to Great Wolf Lodge. Apparently they have no concept of budgets, but we are glad that they had fun. Love living life with our friends!
I think they had ice cream 3 times?? #roughlife
