Great Wolf

     With Mike out of town on our anniversary, we had to postpone our original plans for a few weeks.  We had planned a night and day at the Great Wolf Lodge.  We booked one of their rooms with a hot tub and a fire place to have a nice, quiet evening to ourselves.  Every now and then we also run into the opportunity for a Parent's Night Out, which means fun for the kids.  We combined the two this time.  It was a first for Noah and he seemed to love it.  My brother was gracious enough to pick them up and them stay the night with him so we could enjoy our time.  What I said about the quiet was true.  That is about all we did, just sit there and relax, by the fire.  Did I mention that it was actually cool enough to have a fire?  We enjoyed the evening to ourselves and did a little shopping at the Outlet Mall before going to pick the kids up.  It was just too hard to resist taking them there.  We have talked about going since it opened and every time we drive by Mikayla asks when we will go there.  Plus, you have to check out by 11a.m., but can use the waterpark until 9p.m.  The kids were not quite tall enough to enjoy all the slides, but still had a good time.  Although they would prefer to just swim in the pool {note to self:  no need to pay high prices for slides when a pool is all they want}.  After a few hours we were worn out and headed home for movie night.
