Great Wolf Lodge

On Thursday morning, we hit the road for Great Wolf Lodge in Traverse City. We had such a good time! We stopped at Bud's in Interlochen for lunch and drove by the Hofmeyer's cottage quickly so see what it looked like in the snow. We got to the lodge at 12:30. Although our room wasn't quite ready, we were able to get into the water park right away. The boys were in the water from about 12:45 - 6:45. They loved the water slides, the fort, and the lazy river! Alex wasn't tall enough to do the tube slides, but William was able to go with an adult. We quickly changed and then met our friends for pizza and ice cream at the shops in the lodge. Then we activated the boys Magi Quest wands and went questing until 10pm. The boys enjoyed watching a little tv in their "Kid Camp" before falling asleep. 

On Friday morning, the boys were up by 7am. We put on our suits and had donuts in the lobby. At 8:30, we were able to do some more questing while we waited for the water park to open at 10am. We were in line right at 10 and spent almost 9 more hours playing! William finally was brave enough to stand under the giant bucket that spilled 1000 gallons of water every 5 minutes. Alex started swimming under water a little bit. We got on the road around 7pm and stopped for a quick dinner. Needless to say, both boys slept on the way home!

Bud's!
