Fall Break 2022: Day 2 & 3 - Great Wolf Lodge

In the morning we ate breakfast at the hotel and then started off on our journey towards Colorado Springs and Great Wolf Lodge.  We found a nice rest stop called, "No Name Rest Stop".  I thought that was funny.  Colorado isn't very cleaver with their naming of places and streets.  

We then drove to the Great Wolf Lodge.  The kids heard us talking about maybe going here, but we never confirmed that we were actually going.  They asked us many questions about going there and we never confirmed or denied that we were going, so it was a surprise when we pulled up to the lodge.  The kids were all so excited and loved the surprise.

Our room wasn't ready yet, so we got our swim stuff and went to play in the water park.  We played for a couple hours before Tony, Margie, Lloyd, and Allie went to check us into our room and get our luggage out of the car.  I stayed back with Tyler, Josh, and Megan who were all having an amazing time in the water park.

After they got back, we had some dinner at the food place that they have right in the water park.  After eating we played for a while longer before Allie and I decided to go back to the room and get showered.  We were all in one large room, which was so cool, but only had one bathroom.  So, Allie and I showered before Lloyd and Margie came back to shower themselves.  Tony stayed back with the three older kids and closed down the park at 8:00 pm.  

After they all showered Tony wanted some ice cream.  So Tony, Margie and three of the kids went out to get ice cream.  They brought some back for Megan and me.  Then it was time for bed.

In the morning we all got up and got dressed to go get some breakfast.  We drove to IHOP and had a great breakfast.  Then we went back to the hotel and got all packed up and ready for another few hours of water park fun.  

Margie and Lloyd took the kids down to the water park to start playing while Tony and I checked us out and packed up the car.  When the van was packed, we went to the water park and played with the family for a few hours.  We then all took turns showering and getting ready for our next very long drive to South Dakoda.  

We had no problem driving like seven hours to our next hotel.  We got there when it was dark and there were lots of deer on the side of the road.  Luckily none of the deer were in the road.  We got checked into our hotel and unpacked into our rooms.  It was another big room that fit all of us.  We then all got ready for bed.  It was a good, long day.
