Great Wolf Lodge

I tried to put the pics in order but I'd have to choose them backwards to do that!
Here's our trip! Will post more updated pics soon.

Oh, I made our food on this trip. Found a new fav recipe (in fact it's in the crockpot right now!)
Crockpot Lasagna!
Layer 1# hamburger, cheese mixture (16oz cottage cheese, 2 cups mozz, 2 tsp itaian seasoning), 1 1/2 jars tomato sauce, 8 lasagna noodles (uncooked!) Tres Yum! I never made lasagna for my husby before (well, once, before kids), and now I can anytime I want!





Love the 84 degrees! Makes it easy and worth getting wet. Loved it. Lifeguards everywhere, too, and they were attentive and doing a great job.

A 1000 gal bucket (I think) fills and pours like every 3 minutes, that's that big splash in the back. Slide in the kiddie area. Background playground leads to some waterslides. There's so much to do and look at in these areas! Kiddie area is great, goes from inches to a couple feet. Lifevests available for kids, too. Lots of buttons to push and ways to get other people wet in the area!

Liam's so good w/Eva. Eva in her swimsuit, oh, she's edible!




Eva's so cute! Fam eating waffles at the table. The decor of the lobby, really neat. Very lodge-y and amusing, so much to look at! Animals move and talk, too, occasionally.

Snowing outside...

My kitchen: crockpot & toaster oven, yes, fridge included! It was so nice to have our own food in the comfort of our own room. Yes, it took planning and preparing, but it's worth it, esp. for the monetary savings! Newer hotel, nice, clean countertops & sink.

Premade cookie dough! They do the toppings. A good 15 min. activity!
Weather on the way to the Great Wolf Lodge... perfect timing!
