Great Wolf Lodge

10.18.13

Mid-summer, I realized we hadn't taken any vacations with the kids since having Delaney and decided to give Carter and Addie something to look forward to. I booked a night at the Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine, Texas and surprised them by showing them pictures and videos of the hotel and water park on-line. I tied it to them having good behavior at school for the first 9 weeks and when those initial progress reports came in, we were ready for The Great Wolf Lodge!

I reserved a "Cabin" where the kids had their own space with bunk beds and even the luxury of a TV... they thought it was so cool.



I had read that you could check in at noon or 1PM and we had full access to the water park until it closed the day you checked out. Honestly, those 2 full days were the perfect amount of time to spend in the water park and definitely made the steep price of the room very reasonable! (We didn't do any of the numerous extra activities they sell focusing on the water park, instead... Blake and I said it felt like a Kids' version of Vegas walking through the bottom floor!) What makes this place unbelievable is there is no other way we could have taken a 7 month old with us on a trip like this unless our room for her to nap in, was a short walk away. Most of the pictures I have were in the toddler area but there were 5-7 much more substantial tube rides that we ALL had a blast riding on together.
