Day One - The Great Wolf Lodge

WELCOME TO THE GREAT WOLF LODGE

Our first day at the lodge was a lot of fun. Of course, the main attraction is the tremendous indoor waterpark, so we got settled in our room and then headed to the waterpark. There is so much to do...from a toddler area with many types of sprinklers and also a few slides. We weren't able to go down the slides with Kyle, but we did put him down a couple of times, but he really didn't enjoy it very much! We also rode on the lazy river...we sat in intertubes and floated down the river. I could have stayed there all afternoon because it was so relaxing. The three of us also went on a huge water slide which Kyle enjoyed somewhat. John and I took turns riding the slides by ourself as well. One really cool thing is a giant bucket which dumps 1,000 gallons of water every five minutes. We plan to spend much more time at the waterpark over the next few day as well, but will also venture out and about in the area.

In the following pictures, Kyle is having fun exploring all the fun water activities.

Tonight for dinner we ate at the Camp Critter Bar and Grill. The food was really good and Kyle even had the opportunity to meet Wiley the Wolf. Kyle liked Wiley and even gave him a High 5! He was nice enough to pose for a family picture!

Our room, The KidKamp, has a little room with bunk beds. We thought this may be a good opportunity to introduce the "Big Boy Bed" to Kyle. We brought along a bed rail so he won't fall out of the bed. He did wonderful tonight and fell asleep pretty quick. He was completely exhausted, so we shall see how the transtition from the crib to the bed works at home. We do have his pack n play with us in case our plan doesn't work out, but so far so good!
