Celebrate the end of a long schoo year Great Wolf style!!

This year I took advantage of a really good deal and booked us a room at Great Wolf Lodge about 6 months in advance. We went on a Friday night after school, the last Friday of school, to celebrate having had a great school year.

I was exhausted and had to drive in pouring rain for almost 2 hours to get there, but once we got there it was all worth it!! They upgraded us from the basic room to a room with bunk beds for the kids! They were thrilled and I had a bed all to myself!

Andy knew what to do, since we had done this once before after he first came home. Sera was caught up in all the excitement and didn't hesitate a bit, until water got in her face that is.... Then she backed off for a while, but discovered that she could play in the park areas not designed for swimming and had a blast! Andy is now swimming like a fish and has no problem swimming under water or above. He and Aubri hit the slides and I stayed with Sera or took her in the hot tub. It was great! She even relaxed with me and tried to float. Next year when summer comes around, she will be able to take swim lessons and not have to worry about water coming in her mouth unwanted :-)

It was well worth the expense we paid ( NOT full price by a long shot) to plan ahead to take the kids for a mini vacation. It will be the only travel fun we will have, outside of day trips and taking Sera to Chicago for her surgery so we really made the most of it.
