Great Wolf Lodge Trip


We made a trip up to the Great Wolf Lodge for spring break Sunday-Tuesday.  We had a great time playing at the waterpark and exploring the interactive scavenger hunt throughout the lodge. Here are some of our photos and videos.  We didn't get a ton cause we were playing in the water a lot, but here are the better ones. For those of you that are wondering... it is quite expensive, but considering it was within driving distance it was much less money than we would have spent going somewhere like Disneyland.  Food was the biggest issue for us... I don't do buffets cause it costs way more than I'd ever eat, so food was limited and expensive. Other than that the room and MagiQuest wand/game were our only other expenses.

MagiQuest was truly one of the highlights of our trip. It was just a very fun way to interact with the kids and explore the Lodge. We had such a great time.

This was during a little show that happens in the lobby 3 times a day.

This was the screen we would see when we started a new quest. As you can see our team name was Wonginators!

We did well enough to be 14th in Top Gold for the Week and got our team name on the big screens throughout the lodge :)

This was the GIANT bucket of water than spills every few minutes. It is seriously a lot of water. One time I was in the wrong place when it dumped and it about took my swimsuit bottoms off :)

 Sophie on the red slide. The first time we did these I assumed she could go on my lap, but they don't allow that. I was surprised at how easily she did these slides and wasn't afraid at all.


Nolan going across the lilypads. This kind of stuff is so good for him because it doesn't come naturally to him. 
Sophie on the little slide.  This was very fun for her and there was no line :)
