Great Wolf Lodge

Last week we spent a night at the Great Wolf Lodge in Williamsburg and enjoyed their water park. The boys needed some adjustment time as pools aren't their favorite things, but I think they really liked it. There were fun things to do in the little kid area and we took both boys a little into the fort as well. And the kids area outside. I only took pictures on the first day but I think our preschooler enjoyed it even more on the second. On the second day he really enjoyed the outside area, he went down the little frog slide several times, had fun with the water arch, and playing with a water basketball toy.


And here's me and our toddler. His big brother did better the second day but he did better the first. I was pretty tired the second day because I shared a bed with him and he tossed and turned and rolled all night. Anyway, there were things about the water park he loved the second day too.


Our preschooler got a balloon wolf and our toddler got a balloon dog. The dog had an unusually long tail and he discovered the dog could "walk" with him. (They give wolf ears to all the kids, our toddler loved it immediately. Our preschooler was less excited, but not opposed.)


We had dinner at a BBQ place nearby. We thought our little wolf eating with no hands was pretty funny. (At first it was too hot to touch but not too hot to eat ... he must have been hungry :)



Watching the water park while eating dessert. They loved seeing the big bucket on top dump all its water out.

Storytime


Mid-morning they have a Wolf Walk where they share some interesting things about animals. And after they got their picture with the main character, Wiley the wolf.


Coloring and cutting in the kids giftshop while waiting for green screen pictures. Our toddler loved the little chairs!

Since we'd met Wiley I wasn't too concerned about the other character greetings, but we happened to be around when the racoons came out and I'm glad we were because our boys were excited to meet them. They were all smiles and got hugs. I guess they weren't too excited about another picture though.

(The Blue Bandaid: While at the water park the second day our toddler fell on the concrete outside and scraped his knee. He got it all fixed up at the first aid station; he got to sit in a special chair and had loads of huge smiles for the guy patching him up.)

The Lodge!


Next we spent a night in Luray, VA. Our toddler slept beautifully and barely moved, so I was able to rest too.
