The indoor water park
Fun fun everywhere!

Pool time fun
This is what the outside looked like from the water park. (It was 84 degrees inside:)
Lights & decorations everywhere
A beautiful winter wonderland
More Christmas decorations
Peek a boo....I see you

How did they get that snow in here?
Can you say EXHAUSTED?
After story time Ethan & Mia thought they would sleep here
Family Fun!
Ethan's bedtime snack- chocolate covered marshmallows on a stick (with sprinkles of course!)
We were on vacation Dec 7-13 and wanted to get away. Most people go south to sunny weather but we headed to Traverse City, Michigan and the snow to stay at Great Wolf Lodge. We had never been there before and didn't know what to expect. When you entered the lobby it felt as if you were in a winter wonderland with Christmas decorations everywhere.
We decided to go to Great Wolf Lodge because of the indoor water park and were surprised by all the other activities they offer. In the evenings at 8 & 9 they have story time. We would get into our jammies (well everyone except Steve) and head down to the lobby. There would be a show and then a staff member would read a book. We would sing Christmas songs and then it would "snow" inside the lobby. (The snow was actually bubbles). During the day they offered many activities that revolved around Christmas & the North Pole. Ethan & Mia graduated from the North Pole University and became honorary elves. They even have an interactive scavenger hunt throughout the lodge. While we were there they did get about 14 inches of snow. We didn't mind because we were inside having a blast. While we never had been there before we already are looking forward to going back!
