Great Wolf Lodge

After leaving the beach behind, we headed to Williamsburg to finish up The Great Family Vacation of 2010. We stayed one night at The Great Wolf Lodge before heading back home. It is a great hotel geared aimed to please the kiddos complete with an indoor water park. Jackson is still talking about it and is repeatedly asking when we are going back, so I think it was a big hit.

We arrived early so we could have a full day at the indoor water park. While daddy parked the car, we paused for a quick picture.


"Wait mom!!!"


"Okay now we can go inside. Puppy really needed his picture taken also."

We quickly changed into our swimsuits and hit the water park. As soon as we walked in the door we were greeted by this:


A couple of minutes later we heard a bell chime and then this happened:


Every time the bell chimed, Jackson would stop what he was doing to watch the big bucket tip over spill the water.

Jackson started with the shallow water area first. He loved this water fountain area and the little slides.



After much convincing and watching daddy, he decided to try the medium slide.


He loved it! However, after about the third time down he somehow got turned around and came down on his belly. He wasn't too happy about that, and he decided he wasn't going to ride it again. Although the next day, he got up the courage to try it again!


He also rode one of the big inner tube rides with his daddy. I on the other hand didn't get to try any of the slides. We will definitely be going back when I am not preggers!

Jackson's favorite activity was the wave pool! He absolutely had the best time letting the waves knock him down and wash over his head.

Heading out to battle the waves . . .

Getting ready . . .


Here they come . . .

And he made it.

After we were all waterlogged, we headed back to grab a quick bite before trick or treating around the hotel. We didn't know about this before, so we didn't come prepared with our costume.


It was a great way to wrap up our family vacation. Now back to the real world.
