Great Wolf (part 2)

Before Rob left for Iraq we had decided that when he returned we would take the kids for a mini family reconnection vacation to Great Wolf Lodge. Great Wolf Lodge is an indoor waterpark resort hotel. Perfect for winter when you need something to do with the kids. We did head there in December but most of you know what happened then. So a few weeks ago we finally made it down there for our family get away. The kids had no idea that we were going. We picked MacKenzie up from school Friday early and headed down. Once you get off the exit before you get to Great Wolf there is a Sonic. I love Sonic Cherry-Limeades but the closest one is 40 miles from our house. So before we checked in to the hotel we stopped for a few drinks. Kenzie was pissed when we told her that we just took a ride for Sonic. She said "I know we didn't just drive 2 hours for Sonic!" We said sorry and headed out down the road. About 2 minutes later Rob put the blinker on and we turned in and she started yelling in the back seat "I knew it I knew it!!!!" No she didn't. She had no clue. Everyone was excited. We were able to check in and go straight to our room. We surprised the kids this time by upgrading our room to the Wolf Den Suite. This room has a special kids room that looks like a cave on the outside and bunk-beds on the inside. They even have their own TV After we unpacked we suited up to start the weekend. We spent the next three days wearing our bathing suits and getting wet. Only time we stopped was to eat and take naps. While Cam was napping Kenzie went out and enjoyed the MagiQuest game where she can be a wizard with her magic wand. The kids (all three of them) had a blast. I really enjoyed it too. We swam, went down the water-slides, checked out the arcade and just enjoyed being together. I was also lucky enough to be able to sneak away Sunday morning for a wonderful hot stone massage. I was glorious!!!! Overall it was a wonderful vacation. The kids talk about the next time we go to Great Wolf all the time.
