One of our favorite ‘staycation’ spots is the Great Wolf Lodge in Grand Mound, WA. It is a resort/indoor water park just south of Olympia, so it takes us less than 2hours to get there. The kids of course, love it. Brennan’s school was closed for Parent/Teacher conferences for 3 days. We ended up getting our conference scheduled on the first day, so we ‘headed to the lodge’ for the last two days.
We usually arrive about noon, check into our room, get lunch and then hit the water park. We take a break for dinner and then go to the storytime show in the lobby at 8pm.
This is day 2……Brennan conquered his fear of going on the waterslides under ‘the big dumper.’ I think he went on those waterslides by himself 100 times.
I love this action shot I got of Brennan.
After 2 days of no nap, Caelan is a little bit of a zombie on Day 2.
Brennan convinced Sean to stay later than normal on Day 2 in order to catch the storytime show in the lobby again. He was absolutely AMAZED by the fact that they made it ‘snow’ in the lobby, and desperately wanted to see it again. We made a deal with him that he had to be in his jammies with teeth brushed and ready to get in the car as soon as it was done, and he agreed. We left GWL at 8:30pm, and pulled into the garage at home at 10pm. Both kids were asleep by 8:45pm and transitioned to their own beds once we got home without problem. Phew…..
