Great Wolf Lodge

Last week we went on a mini family vacation! We took my niece, Juliana along too. This was our first trip to Great Wolf Lodge, and it won't be our last! This place is expensive but Erik was able to get a great discount on it through his job. We only stayed one night, but for Lily it was enough since she's only 1. She missed half her naps, went to bed late, swam, ate dinner late, and well, didn't do too bad for all that actually! Isaias and Juliana did great. We all came back on a sugar hangover!

We had an employee take this for us, which is why it's not really focused. :/

I chose not to take pictures the first day while swimming. Otherwise I wouldn't have enjoyed the fun, and there was nowhere to lock my camera up. We got there early and our room wasn't ready until almost 5, but they told us to have fun and swim while we were there. :) 

We didn't eat dinner until 8pm that night! They have a restaurant there in the hotel so we went there. The kids meals were 7.99! However, that included your meal, a side, drink, and a pair of wolf ears. We were trying to decide if we wanted to spend $21 on just kids meals plus another $25 on our dinner. I asked the kids, "Do you want wolf ears or are you ok without them?" I wondered about Juliana since she's almost 10 and she might be too big. She gave me a funny look and said, "yeah, we don't need them." I said ok and we got something cheaper to eat. Isaias ended up telling our waitress that it was our first time, so she brought out sides of applesauce for free and wolf ears for FREE for all 3 of the kids! Juliana then realized that I wasn't asking if we wanted real wolf ears to eat, but wolf ears for her head! Sometimes we don't think about how kids interpret things, hahaha!

Dinner

While we were at dinner, Oliver the Wolf stopped by!

We got the "Wolf Den" room. The kids LOVED that there were bunk beds and their own space with a TV! 

Good morning!

I got a few pictures in the next day. This barrel holds 1000 gallons of water and drops about every 3 minutes. It was pretty awesome!

The next day we ate at Fritz's. It has the train on the ceiling that brings your food to you. We've always gone to the one at Crown Center in Kansas City but tried out a different location. It was less busy and much nicer!

Juliana got to push the button to call our order, and Isaias got to take it off.

It was a great vacation! Next time we're planning on staying for at least 2 nights!
