Our family has found a fun little winter getaway that works great for us. Great Wolf Lodge! Our boys are little fish and spend all day in the water, its not that far from our house, and is the perfect way to get some quality time together in the middle of the winter blues.
We headed out 2 days before Ben's birthday and we were sooo excited. When we arrived we discovered that the boys were going to be gifted free ice cream anytime they wanted for our entire stay because we were celebrating their birthdays. Pretty much worth the 3 hour drive right there, ha ha! It didn't take us very long at all to check into our room, change into our suits and head down to the waterpark. We came last year, but since Ethan was not even 1 year old yet, he stayed with my sister. He had no idea what to expect but it was super fun to watch the boys remember things and have the excitement build.
We just soaked up the quality time with our boys and had a great time watching our fish enjoy themselves. We had scored a great deal on our stay which included a resort credit. Since we ended up getting free ice cream for our stay, we saved money and ended up using part of the our resort credit to let the boys play a few arcade games. This is something they never get to do so they were delighted. It was a great evening and we all slept great. The next morning we were right back down at the waterpark and ended up staying until around 3ish that afternoon. We drove a little bit out of the way to hit a Chick-Fil-A for dinner (there were none close to us at the time) and it was delicious!! We got home late of course but it was worth it, we will always have wonderful memories of this trip. Our boys really do ask us about once a week if we can go back. Sure boys, get a job, then sure :-)
