We like to take the kiddos to the Great Wolf Lodge about every 2 years. Since they are older, and it's much easier, Amanda and I decided to let the dads off the hook this year. So just she and I drove them down to the bigger and fancier lodge in Dallas! A longer drive, but it turns out it was worth it! (Remember when Millie called it the Muff Lodge for years??)
We made it! Ears - check. Swimsuits - check. Excitement - check.
This one is much bigger and has taller slides. The kids loved it!
We got one of those wolf pass things that has a lot of activities for them to do at the lodge. Turns out, it's a bit too many things. We had to try hard to fit everything in! They got their wands, but Cayden was really the only one that wanted to complete the quests. ;) They do love running around the lodge on their own though...
First night ended with the dance party, which only Millie wanted to participate in. Everyone else was zonked!
Put a fork in her.
We surprised our girls with bunk beds this time! They absolutely loved it and slept so well, being properly worn out and all...
7am second morning: Beck is climbing the wolf ;) kids are rearing to go!
And guess whose birthday it is today?! Cayden!! July 14, 2021: 10 years old. Man. Time flies...
Fab Four <3
Morning yoga with the wolf pack
Since this was our only full day here, we rented a cabana to have a meeting spot and place to chill.
And a place to read...
One of the lodge activities was an outdoor ropes course. They look all excited and good to go now...
...but once the girls got up there, they turned into whiny scaredy-cats!
Cayden and Beck did great
Beck even helped the girls out sometimes. The whining got so bad with my two kids that I had to leave them outside and go back in. I couldn't get up there with them and I couldn't do anything to help. They were getting angry, so I just let the instructors take care of it. See ya!
Phew, back in our suits and ready to swim again. Amanda and I went down the big slides with the kids so many times. It was so fun, and we even got a workout in with those stairs! The howling tornado was actually quite intense; Syd wouldn't even go on it!
Another time out from the water park to make our build-a-bears! Syd's favorite activity!
One bear and three wolves later...
Arcade was a hit, as usual. Millie spent all of her tickets on candy, of course.
Friends for a decade!
Ooooh la la
Longest day ever and these pics are my favorite because it shows the true level of exhaustion.
I mean...how can you look at this and not laugh?! Bed time ASAP
The final morning, and Beck's vibe tells it all. We came, we conquered, it's time to get outta lodge.
Always with a stuffed animal in tow
Thanks for the memories Muff Lodge!
Millie's iPad is always full of pictures and videos. I love how they show her personality so well.
Another successful lodge trip!
