We're going to...

GREAT WOLF LODGE...well, actually we "went" to Great Wolf Lodge but that's the jingle that we've been hearing on the radio and wondering what the lodge was all about. Thursday we found out! The boys had a great time...we had a few fiascoes but nothing you wouldn't expect with a 4 year old, an almost 2 year old and an almost 1 year old.

Here are a few things that created the fiascoes:

1. Mark has never slept in a bed by himself or with us-or anything other than his crib.

2. Naps are super important...even on vacation!

3. Sound machines should never be forgotten.

4. Mommy does not need to be in the bathtub with shampoo in her hair at the time of a fire alarm.

5. We should spend every waking moment outside of the room...or else, everyone suffers!

6. We should have packed child-proofing devices for the doors!

One thing we did do right...we brought along a stash of the yummiest snacks that we usually don't buy all at once (Oreo's, gummy worms, M&M's, Little Debbies smores and brownies, Twix, peanut butter cookies). Yay for the snacks, they saved us from many more fiascoes!

We really did enjoy our family outing!

C.J. thoroughly enjoyed himself but as we were getting ready to leave he said, "Oh sweet home"...and let me tell you, we were all thinking the same thing (thankfully we only had a 30 minute drive home)!! At these ages, one night away is plenty of fun!

As we pulled up to the lodge, the excitement was bubbling! Mark was just in awe!

Cabin-themed kid sleeping area!

Walking into the water park! Dinner which we all enjoyed! ...and the SWEET SHOP. Everything from donuts at 7pm to ice cream, candy and HUGE cookiesMarky driving the ice cream truck!We didn't even tell CJ to do the bear claw, can you tell he loved this place!

Before breakfast this morning. I was too hungry to get everyone completely dressed so we were all mismatched but we were FULL by the time we left the Loose Moose Buffet.
