Great Wolf Lodge

Every time we drive into Kansas City, we drive right past Great Wolf Lodge, a big hotel and indoor water park.  The boys can see the giant slides coming out of the building, so they knew it would be a fun place to stay.  Last Friday, Dan had the day off and so did Zach, so we decided to spend Thursday night there.  Friday also happened to be my birthday and I couldn't think of a better way to turn 35 than to be surrounded by lots of wet children.  Ha!

Dan and Ben LOVED the slides, unsurprisingly.  It was quite a process to climb up the treehouse to slide down the big slides, but Dan and Zach probably made the trek 20 times.  Ben gave up after a couple of times and stuck to the toddler slides.  And that was just fine with me because it meant that I could sit on the side of the pool and watch!

Friday morning we headed to IHOP for breakfast because the boys could eat for free with their GWL wristbands.  Ben tucked into chocolate chip pancakes and Dan enjoyed his funny face pancakes.  Then we hit the pool again for an hour or so before checking out and heading home.  It was a great little stay-cation, our last as a family of four!

(Sorry about the picture quality in the pool area--it was very humid in there and my lens kept fogging!)
