Great Wolf Lodge

I am a bit behind on my blogging. I recently found out we had a "blog stalker" and it kind of freaked me out. I decided to make our family blog private, but then discovered readers had to have a gmail account to access the blog, so many of our family members wouldn't be able to read it....so I haven't decided what to do yet. 

We recently made a trip to Great Wolf Lodge to celebrate Liam's 1st birthday. It was lots of fun, but also lots of work. I think Liam enjoyed playing in and on the suitcase more than the actual water park itself. 

The resort had all sorts of things to do. In addition to the water park, they had an arcade, which had games and toys similar to Chuckie Cheese. Kale and Liam both had a great time and mom and dad managed to drop some serious buck at the arcade! 

If you know Kale, you know how much he LOVES basketball. (The odds of him being a basketball player are not in his favor though...the doc says he will be a pretty short adult.) He played the basketball game numerous times. 

We went to a nearby restaurant the eat dinner. The food at the resort was all pizza, fast food, or buffet, so we thought we would be better off eating elsewhere. 

I should have known the restaurant was suspicious when they served my wine in a pint glass. We decided to stick with fried food, because how can a restaurant screw up burgers and fries...well, when they brought my food, I put ketchup on my plate. As soon as I did this, ants swarmed out from under my fries. Ugh! Needless to say, we ordered a pizza that night! 

More playing in the suitcase! 

Liam was playing around with the stroller and somehow got stuck. I thought it was pretty comical and began taking pictures. 

Kale attempted to help him. I eventually had to intervene and pull him out! 

Great Wolf Lodge had very rustic interior and had some cool pieces of furniture and decorative items. 

They had an entire gingerbread house that people could reserve and eat dinner in. It was made of real gingerbread. 

Friday morning, the boys got to meet some of the characters in the lobby of Great Wolf. Kale cried and clung to me. Liam loved it and grabbed the character's large facial features and even kissed them! 

We didn't take any pictures of the boys actually playing in the water because we were afraid the camera would get wet. The water park was pretty fun!  

All and all the boys had a great time! I think we will wait until they are a bit older to go again though.
