The Great Wolf Lodge

The bucket poured out 1000 gal of water!

They were waiting for the water to fall

The kiddie pool

This past Monday we headed up to Washington with my parents to spend the night and attend my Grandmother's funeral on Tuesday morning. We decided that we would take advantage of a place called the Great Wolf Lodge. It was located on the same exit we needed for the funeral. It was a WONDERFUL place for Noah to run around and for us to be distracted on what could have been a very emotional and stressfull time. It was still emotional but the lodge was a good distraction. Oh man, this place was made for kids. There is this HUGE indoor water park, an arcade, tons of restaurants, spas for adults and kids, a little gym, storytime by the huge fireplace at night and the 8 stories are filled with rooms and little quests along the hallways. Kids get a wand and then follow the story. It's like a live video game/scavenger hunt. They also have a room where kids can do all kinds of organized crafts all day. One can spend a lot of money there. The only things that are free are the water park and bedtime story. It comes with the cost of the room (quite spendy). Noah was in kid heaven in the water park. They have slides (for adults too), a wave pool, things that squirt and pour water. Oh my, the list goes on. We were able to enjoy it on Monday evening and Tues afternoon after the funeral.

I didn't know my grandma very well but I still did a bit of crying. Mostly because of my Dad. He did a great job of leading all his siblings (6) and their families. I was quite proud of him. It was good to see all my family again (it's been over a year) and it was fun to have a day with Jon. It sure messed up the week though!

The weather here had been in the 50s for most of the month. We've even worked in the garden and planted seeds! It feels more like March or April. I'm okay with that although there isn't much snow on the mountain or in Vancouver BC for that matter. They're having to truck snow in for the Olympics!

Enjoy some pictures of us at the water park!
