The Great Wolf Lodge

Two weeks ago we enjoyed a free night at the Great Wolf Lodge.  Yes, I am a sucker for free stuff and dragged Jay to a time share presentation to get the GWL night, and let me tell you, it was totally worth it!  Nana and Papa were sweet enough to come with us and we had a BLAST!  We went on a Saturday and Jack and I went early (as soon as we could check in) and Jay came with Bear after naptime.  Jack and I ran by the grocery store on our way to pick up some swim diapers for Bear.  While we were there I decided to grab a case of water for the night (you know how my family drinks water!).  Anyway, Jack insisted on carrying it saying, “mom, you’re pregnant, you shouldn’t life anything!  Let the man do the work.”  I tried to convince him that I was fine and then after a few minutes in line he looked up at me and said, “hey mom, when you are pregnant is it ok to do team work on heavy things?”  So we carried it together.  It’s so cute to see my little man trying to be chivalrous like his daddy.

After our grocery store run we were off.  I never get many pictures at the GWL but it’s not due to lack of fun, just excess of water.  I never want to take my camera into the water park.

Here’s Bear modeling his wolf ears. 

Jay created a little space for Bear to sleep and enclosed it in a crazy (but very effective way) so that we could stay awake and watch tv and hang out while Bear slept.

I need to remember to take a group picture when we get there instead of after a long day at the water park and a night of not much sleep.  But here’s a cute one of the happy boys with their Papa and Nana.

Unfortunately I got super sick on Sunday and had to leave early to go to the emergency room (bronchitis and asthma) and get some iv meds and a few breathing treatments but I convinced the rest of the adults to stay and finish up the day of fun for the kids.  And actually, while I hated to miss the fun, being in the ER for 4 hours was actually the most relaxing time I’ve had in a while. 

We had a super fun night and it was awesome to have some alone time Nana and Papa.  Jackson got to have lots of time with his grandparents and they took him to make a stuffed animal and do a quest with a magic wand and all kinds of fun stuff.  Thanks guys for coming and making some great memories with us!
