Great Wolf Water Park!!

Last weekend we took the kids to the Great Wolf Lodge & Water Park, located in beautiful Grand Mound, WA..(lol, there is NOTHING there). The kids had a blast, and we had a fun time chasing them around...but for anyone who thought this would also be a fun place for adults, not so much..it's definitely themed around younger kids. There is a HUGE shallow area for the little ones to play in. Ari tends to be a little timid in the water, and didn't get too crazy, but she THINKS she had a great time splashing around so that's really all that's important i guess! Darren on the other hand was non stop. He was SO SOOO SOOO excited to be there. It was nice to be in a place that was all for kids. We just let them run up and down the halls of the hotel, and around the HUGE lobby. It was fun just watching them run around silly and not be in any ones way!! There was a lot of kids there, but it never felt crowded or busy. The place is pretty big! We were supposed to stay 2 nights, but ended up cancelling our reservations for sat. night. We didn't really need any more time there, and the kids were pretty pooped out!! I would recommend taking your kids there, but just staying one night, its pretty pricey (especially the food & stuff), plus, you can use the water park the whole day you check in & check out. So one nights stay, offers 2 full days at the water park. More than enough for the little ones, and the parents that are chasing them around!

It was hard to take a lot of photos, since most of the time we were wet, but i got a couple of our room, which was a "Kid Cabin". It had a separate room set up like a log cabin w/ bunk beds and a little flat screen TV! They thought it was pretty cool!! The kids also LOVED the big arcade they had. It was all black-lights and glowing. I got a little video of them dancing along to one of those dancing games where you follow the lights on the floor..pretty cute...
