Great Wolf Lodge

We had a fantastic weekend at the Great Wolf Lodge for the Strong Bonds Marriage and Family Retreat paid for by Steve's battalion. Here is the outside of the lodge...
Here is the big attraction when you walk into the indoor section of the water park, Fort Mackenzie. The big bucket on top dumps 1000 gallons every 5 minutes...it is crazy when it comes pouring down. There is a sign that warns you not to hold your child under the dumping water.

Here is the back side of Fort Mackenzie. The slides you see on the side of it were the only ones that Trevor could go down that weren't baby slides...but they were super fun, good enough for me!

Steve and Trevor up in the tree house...notice the little raccoon and squirrel in the tree swing?

Trevor posing with his tough guy look next to the metal artwork on the wall.

Waiting for lunch at Camp Critter...

My little wolf cub howling after he got his ears :)

"Baby Wolf" and "Mommy wolf", as I was lovingly referred to all weekend.

Trevor coming down the slide...horrible quality picture. Between the lighting and how fast his little butt came down, Trevor had to go down a couple times and it still didn't come out well.

The hungry wolf pack...the buffet that was got for breakfast and dinner was soooo good.

The outdoor section of the water park.

This was the clock tower show that went on right before story time. This elaborate arrangement of mechanical animals, trees and people that sing and talk about nature is in the main lobby and starts at 8 every night. The kids were all dazzled by it.

I wish I had gotten more pictures but without a waterproof camera I wasn't taking any chances. This place was super cool and there is so much more to it than what I captured. They even thought through the water park fact and they give waterproof bracelets (that you have to cut off when you want it off) that have a computer chip in them and you hold it up to your door to get in the room...no carrying around a key card!
