Great Wolf Lodge

I am behind on blogging but I had to make sure to go back and include this one. We went to Great Wolf Lodge the weekend before Christmas as our annual Christmas outing with the family. We are brave since we have a 9, 5 and 3 year old plus 3 one year old’s! It all ended up going great and being so much fun. It is a really neat hotel and the water park is great. The best thing is when your kids want to scream and yell no one notices because there is about a million kids there. Jackson loved playing in the water and swimming. He somewhat listened to story time and thought it was pretty neat when it snowed in the lobby. This was in between him hitting two kids that we didn’t know! I noticed how different he was this weekend from other kids his age! Julie’s boys sit in her lap, are calm and cuddle with you, mine runs around 100 miles an hour non-stop and never runs out of energy. He also had radar for any cell phone, remote control or staircase! The kids had a blast all weekend, Jackson made his first letter to Santa and they all made crafts and ornaments and had milk and cookies delivered by elves before bedtime! We shared a room with Julie, Michael and the boys and as usual Jackson got up around 5:30, we tried to get him to go back to sleep but by 6:00 he had successfully woke everyone but Michael and Austin up, so we snuck out of the room to get some breakfast and let them sleep. Barrett and Dylan could barely keep their eyes open, they were wondering why we were up, Jackson was full steam ahead, running the halls and climbing the stairs. About 30 minutes later poor Barrett and Dylan couldn’t handle it and went back to sleep with no problem! We have decided for any future trips, separate rooms would be best, especially since Dad snored so loud Jamie and Derek got their own room at 1:00 in the morning! Overall the weekend was great and we all enjoyed ourselves. It was definitely a weekend full of great memories and can’t wait for next year. Mom wants to do Disney World but I think we might have to settle for Sea World!
