Going to the Lodge...

Abby's Brownie Troop used their cookie money they earned to stay the night at Great Wolf Lodge. The 9 girls and 4 moms who went booked 2 rooms and had a blast. They spent Friday evening at the Waterpark, had pizza delivered to their room, and stayed up late watching a movie.


Brian, Emma, and I joined them Saturday morning at the Waterpark. You have to be a hotel guest in order to use the indoor and outdoor waterpark, but each guest in each room is allowed to have 1 outside guest for $30 per pass. So, there were 13 outside passes that could be used and several of the familes were able to come join the fun.

Emma was absolutely going crazy there and said the "Great Wolfs (she made it plural for some reason) was AMAZING"! Brian was able to take Emma down 2 of the bigger slides, the first one nearly brought tears (it's the slowest of the 4 big indoor slides) and one of the outside slides got a 'that was too scary' comment. Otherwise, she LOVED the smaller "kid-friendly" slides and the body slides in the fort. She went down these at least 50 times combined.

Abby had a great time too when we were able to find her (she wanted to stay with her Brownie troop friends). She did manage to get pushed into the shallow end by a wave (in the wave pool) while in her intertube and scraped up her back pretty badly.


A few tears, a bandaid, and off she went. She had a blast on the outdoor slides. She went with me, two other brownies and another mom down one of the multi-person raft slides and screamed louder than I've ever heard her scream before.

Brian was itching to ride the Texas Tornado, but no one else in the family wanted to join him and the line was pretty long. We had a great time though and would highly recommend going! We are hoping to go back later this summer as a family. A great getaway right in our backyard!
