Goin' to the Lodge.... The Great Wolf Lodge!



Over Mother's Day weekend, our family was able to take a little mini vacation! Uncle Todd was home for his "R&R" from Afghanistan, so we headed up to Virginia for one night to join Rebecca, Todd, & the girls at the Great Wolf Lodge. They went up the night before & had an extra day to themselves & we joined in for the remainder of their time. 
 It was fabulous to basically only pack 1 outfit & a bathing suit for the trip. No blowdryer, no makeup, no real shoes. Flip Flops, deodorant, & toothpaste is about all ya need when you go here. Oh, and a credit card! Ha!

The boys played SO hard & I know we will go back again. Those slides aren't just for kids, if you know what I mean! :)  Here are some photos from our time there... all captured with my phone & uploaded to the lovely Instagram app which i LOVE so much! No way was I taking my Canon in that place to get soaked!!

All ready to get wet for the first time!
Jackson spent most of his time enjoying the wave pool...
Eli loved the slides...
It was so nice just hanging out, soaking wet, watching all the kids enjoy themselves.
We may have rode some rides ourselves too! :)

We had to snap family photos before we headed home... Rebecca's clan...
And some of us found it harder to say goodbye to the Lodge than others. I think one in particular wanted to live there...

We had so much fun & thanks to everyone who made it possible for us. You know who you are ;) We appreciate it more than you know!
