The Great Wolf Lodge

 Sunday morning we headed out to explore Washington. We drove through Rainier park, were right by it, but couldn't see it! Should have been predictable though considering Washington's weather. The drive was still really fun. We saw a heard of young elk, which were as big as horses! We also stopped and had a picnic and a beautiful lake.

 The place we were headed was enough to make any kids dreams come true! It is called the Great Wolf Lodge. It has an indoor waterpark and is all for kids. The rooms had bunk beds in a little seperate room called the wolf den. When we walked in our room Doran instantly declared it to be the best hotel ever. We hadn't even got to the waterpark yet!

 This is the view from our room.

 The kids were ready for fun!

 The lilly pads were the boys favorite part of the park and Doran's favorite part of the whole trip. They were kind of like the tv show Wipeout, but for kids. I tried twice and couldn't make it across, which is a little embarassing since Cassie did...

 After the waterpark, we played in the aracade and then went to story time in  our pajamas in the lobby. The kids loved it and so did Seth and Ryan, they sang it the next few days.

 Breakfast was awesome and Seth got all the kids wolf ears! They howled the whole time we were in the restaurant.

 You can see by lots of their mouths that they are howling away!

 The water park was closed at breakfast time, but that didn't stop them from admiring it.
