Vacation at Great Wolf Lodge

On Thursday afternoon we traveled up to Traverse City to Great Wolf Lodge. It's something we have been wanting to do with Joshua, but finding the time was not easy. We went during the week for the lower rates and in hopes that it wouldn't be so busy. It worked out very well! We also took Papa along to take part in the fun! We spent most of our time in the water park, but did manage to do a few other things. Some of the highlights of our trip included story time Thursday night after which Joshua got to hug Wiley the wolf, the water park of course, playing in the arcade, making a special wolf stuffed animal as a memento of our trip, picking out special colored rocks in the gift store with Papa (thanks Papa), seeing the buffalo, and doing a little shopping. It was jam-packed fun for three days! When asked what his favorite things in the water park were Joshua reports, "I like the warm water with bubbles (the hot tub)! I like the big bucket dumps on people! I like the basketball." He also adds, "I don't like the slide in darkness, I get wet." Obviously he isn't a kid who likes slides yet. He went down one on a tube with Cory and me and then again with Papa and me that you go under a waterfall type effect and then through a pitch black tunnel. However, all of us adults had a great time trying out the water slides. What a fun trip, we will definitely go back!
