The Great Wolf Lodge

Chase had spring break this week, so we took off to Sandusky OH to the Great Wolf Lodge! It is about 60 miles away and it's a hotel with a water park inside. We went with a couple of our friends the Barnums, Welch's, Cowdens, and Flemmings, and had a great time! There was a baby area with little slides for babies (and where my water fearing children spent a majority of their time:). Then there was a pool with b ball hoops and a big blow up snake. There was a kid area with kid slides, where Ty and Hallster actually spent about the last hour of our time there. Then there were a few bigger tube slides for all of the older kids and adults. There was a lazy river, and a hot tub also. If it was up to Tyler he would have stayed in the hot tub the ENTIRE time, he cracks me up.
Tyler and Halle posing in the kiddy pool, we spent a lot of time here. Halle kept telling us that "gwandpa need a spwash me in da pool," followed by "and gwandma need a come too." She associates pools and hotels with your latest visit mom and dad!


Tyler going down one of the kid slides, he is about as long as the whole slide:) He did get brave and go down a few slightly bigger ones.

Halle on the playground. There was this huge playground/jungle gym type of a thing with water spraying out all over the place that the kids could play on. There was a HuGe bucket of water at the very top of the playground that would fill up with water. When you heard the bell start dinging you would see a herd of people rushing over to stand under it to get DuMpEd on! When we heard the dinging my kids would make sure they were nowhere in the vacinity of the dumping bucket water:)



Chase with Ty and Halle floating on the lazy river which was VeRy lazy and slow. Halle thought she was so big getting to sit on the tube and hang on all by herself. Tyler just liked it because it was slow and water didn't get into his eyes:)
We had such a great time with our family and friends, it was just a perfect little getaway! We plan on making it a spring break tradition every year!!!
