The Great Wolf Lodge!

This past weekend Chris' unit had a marriage and family retreat at this cool hotel called the Great Wolf Lodge. It is a hotel that is geared towards families and kids. There is all kinds of fun stuff to do... an indoor water park, arcade, and nightly story times in the lobby. The best part about this weekend was it was all on the Army's dime. We didn't have to pay for a thing. Food and everything was covered.
We all had a great time. The girls loved every minute. I tired to take as many pictures as I could. I didn't get any while we were at the water park because it was a little too wet for the camera.
So, here are pictures from our weekend!

This is the front of the hotel. Chloe wasn't too thrilled with the giant wolves :)

Here is a picture of the indoor water park. It was pretty good. The girls had a lot of fun. There was a little kid pool that had slides just for them. The water was only 1.5 ft. deep or something like that, so it was never too deep. Ireland even went on the big slides with Daddy and loved it!

This is the clock tower where they had story time. The kids were supposed to come down in their jammies and slippers and watch this anamatronic (sp?) show and then listen to a story. This was one of the things Ireland was really looking forward to!

Ireland insisted on wheeling in the suitcase all by herself. It was pretty classic to watch... she was tripping over her feet and grunting the whole time. But she didn't want any help!

Chloe was so super excited. Right after we got in our room I asked her to show me how excited she was to be there and this is what she did... pretty excited I think!

The girls playing at the arcade... another favorite thing.

For our dinners and breakfasts we got to eat at the hotel buffet. The girls got to help pick their dinners so they thought it was really neat. Ireland asked me to take a picture of her french fry that looked like a face... she obviously thought they were pretty cool.

This is so random... this bear was outside of a little bakery on the bottom floor. For some reason, it was one of Chloe's favorite things at the hotel. She would ask me if we could go down to see it. And every time we walked by she wanted a picture with it. Funny.

Chloe right before story time. She wouldn't even look at the camera.

Watching the show with Daddy.

Ireland at story time. She said it was, "exactly what she had in mind!" (That is a direct quote)

This was at lunch on Saturday. They were both so excited because after lunch it was time to go swimming... for like 4 hours!

They had airbrush tattoo's there. Ireland wanted one on the first day but she had to wait until the end of Saturday so it wouldn't wash off... she was super excited. Chloe was going to get one too but she chickened out... I guess Ireland is just more hardcore than Chloe.

She looks so tough with her fresh ink!

All in all it was a great weekend. Chris and I had a good time at the marriage classes too... but to be honest, we had more fun watching the girls run around and have so much fun! It was a perfect weekend and we are so thankful we got to go!
