Great Wolf Lodge = FUN, SUGAR, MORE FUN, and A LOT MORE SUGAR!!!!

On Wednesday morning, the boyz, Brandi, Bryce, Coco, and I piled in the car....packed with the essentials.....snacks, toys, movies, and headed off to Great Wolf Lodge - an indoor water park about three hours away! There were three rules for our trip: 1. No Whining 2. No Crying 3. HAVE LOTS OF FUN!!! The boyz were ready......

The fun began half way to our destination when we stopped for a break and Coco bought them each a toy and a Batman painting set - which kept the boyz busy the remainder of the trip - the first of many thanks to Coco!!

As quickly as we could, we ditched our bags in the room and headed to the water! We spent the next couple of hours in the wave pool and then the baby/toddler pool which included slides and jet skis that sprayed water - Coop was all over that one... he was not as big of a fan of the wave pool as Connor was!

SNACK TIME!!! and let me tell you Coco knows what the boyz like....she loaded each of the boyz up with cotton candy, jelly beans, popcorn, apple juice, and pizza! Connor was in sugar heaven!

After dinner, it was off to the arcade room... Connor spent the majority of his money on a dinosaur machine that grabbed toys.....more treasures, and Cooper loved playing air hockey!

After the quarters were gone, and the novelty of the games had worn off... the boyz were happy with their treasures and the yellow sports cars from Coco!

At 8:00 the boyz were ready for their story! We headed down to the lobby where the trees and animals came alive as a Native America little girl told a story! Connor was naming all the things that were real until a boy in front of him told him they were all mechanical....Thanks Kid! Luckily that didn't ruin the enjoyment of the story for my little man!

This morning we did two more hours at the park and then the kids went and picked out swords they had been eyeing up at one of the stores! What a trip!!

Thank you Coco for your generous heart and for loving my boyz like family! You have given us wonderful memories of our trip to Great Wolf Lodge!!
