Great Wolf Lodge

This is how excited the girls were about returning to the Great Wolf Lodge.... 

Especially since we were there with the whole Edwards' clan, cousins and all. 

It was this girl's first time.


And she had such a great time.


Well, most of the time. Except when it was just a little too much for her and she had a meltdown or two. Or when water splashed over her head in the wave pool with Grandma. But for the most part, she was unafraid and went down all the slides with no fear. Even the big red one that she turned around on and went down head first, upside down on her back. It was the funniest thing I had ever seen, and she was not bothered by it at all.

The big girls had no fear this year either. Especially Symantha, who went on the Howling Tornado repeatedly and actually enjoyed it! Even Grandma and Grandpa went down that one, much to the delight of the rest of us. It was so fun having this time with the Edwards'.


Hailey couldn't wait for the clock tower show and Story time again. Addison loved watching it too.

She is the right age for it.

Colby is not. 
 But he was a good sport and hung out anyways.
Symantha thought it was so cool that she got to spend some time with him.
I love cousins.

Someone tried to take Derek's spot when he went to get coffee. I told the person the spot was taken and she reluctantly got up. So, Colby came and sat by me to prevent any more awkwardness. Then we laughed that the lady must be wondering which of these guys is my husband....
Neither one is really appropriate!

Then Addison's fear of dressed up creatures returned. You may remember the fear of the penguin at Christmas - she still sees pictures of penguins and says they are scary. 
So you can understand why "Violet" would terrify her.
She clung to Daddy the whole time this wild beast was around.


Daddy and Addison actually had some very sweet times during this trip. While I was taking some of the kids to do the Magiquest thing with the wands,


I caught them having some very sweet moments.

It was a great time!

Looks like you have been having lots of great family time. So glad Addison got to go along and that she enjoyed the experience. Looks like our GWL trip is pushed back to fall. At least we will know for sure Nora is tall enough by then! Miss you!
