Great Wolf Lodge

We spent one night this week at the Great Wolf Indoor Waterpark in Williamsburg, VA. We had a great time. Erik braved a few slides but then decided they were scary. He was wearing a life jacket -- but still went under for a second so I don't blame him for being scared. Erik was a happy camper the whole time we were there (even in the car). He would run (very quickly) from our room to the water park. He spent most of his time just splashing in the play area. He also liked riding the inner tubes in the wave pool and around the lazy river.


The highlight of the water park for Erik though was the big bucket. A large bucket that dumps 1000 gallons of water over the play land every 5 minutes. There are warning bells that go off about 30 seconds before the water is dumped. He would stop what he was doing and watch the bucket dump out the water every time. He especially thought it was funny when Victor and I stood in the waterfall.

Lainey was a calm, easy baby. She seemed to like the water too. She was just happy to be held all day long. She slept from 9:00 - 5:30 and both ways in the car (2+ hours each way)!

On our way back home we stopped at a small, very small, "farm". It was really just someones backyard set up with a few animals, pumpkins, and a bounce house. Very cheesy but Erik liked it. The weather has been perfect so it was fun to spend a couple of hours playing outside.

It was nice to get away for a couple of days. For the most part we are feeling better. I still am stuffed up but I am wondering if it is partially due to allergies. I have never been bothered by allergies before but it is not uncommon for people to be bothered by them in VA -- they are particularly bad here.
