Christmas Trip- Great Wolf Lodge

We finished our drive and got checked in at the hotel.  It was HUGE.  We got to our room and I have never seen Rhone get undressed so quick.  He could not wait to get swimming.  We headed down to the water park and let the fun begin.  Rhone was absolutely thrilled, I love seeing him so happy!  Rhone was pretty brave and did about all the slides he was big enough for, some of them were pretty big and fast, I was surprised they would let such little kids ride them.  There was also a wave pool, a huge water fort, and a lazy river ride.  We played at the water park until we were exhausted and starving.  We got cleaned up found some pizza and then headed to the lobby for the nights activities.  They had a really great Santa there, a life size gingerbread house that was really edible, an interactive show with a bedtime story, and then it "snowed" in the lobby.  The next morning we played at the water park until Rhone was too cold and too tired to go on.  Then we headed for home.  We stopped at Ikea on the way to get a dresser for little Tater baby.  It was a fast trip, but it was tons of fun too.

The lighting was really bad for pictures so here's the best we have.  You can look at the website to see better photos of the water park.  

In the wave pool.

Unless it was a tube ride, Rhone would flip himself to his stomach so he could use his hands and feet to control himself a little.

Look at that excitement in the water fort.

Swimming with mom

Some of the slides are so big they even go outside the building.

 

Terrible picture, but the only one we got of him talking to Santa.

The Gingerbread house.

Christmas tree in the lobby.  It was really beautiful in there, with snowflakes coming off of huge antler chandlers, a huge fireplace, and Christmas lights.

Rhone feel asleep at Red Robbin and slept through the entire lunch and a 2 hour drive after swimming.
